3.1 Precautions for All Systems
• DonotplacetheSystemonornexttoaradiatororother
heat source. Excessive heat may damage the System’s
electronics. Place the System where air is free to circulate
on all sides and beneath it.
• TheSystemisportable,butmustbehandledwith

the System will prevent condensation from forming in
the air line which in turn may cause “caking” of the air
polishing powder and clogging in the lines and at the air
polishing insert nozzle.
• Cavitron®PROPHY-JET®Prophy Powder is a water-sol-
uble sodium bicarbonate powder specially formulated for
use in Cavitron®Air Polishing Systems. Cavitron®JET-

8.3 Air Polishing using
the JetShield™Accessory
Aerosol reduction device for use with air polishing systems.
JetShield™assembly and accessories—see Fig. 1. The disposable
JetShield™assembly is designed for single use; all other
components are reusable and are compatible with standard
clinic equipment.
Figure 1
Precautions:
The JetShield™itself is designed for single use only. Use of chem-
ical or heat sterilization will lead to poor performance
and malfunction of product.
The reusable components are wipe-disinfectable, using clean
cloths and appropriate non-immersion type disinfectant. Wipe
once with disinfectant to remove gross debris, then use fresh
cloth and more disinfectant to clean surface. Dry with clean
paper towel or air.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Remove entire assembly from package.
2. Insert air polishing nozzle through JetShield™cup
and seat shoulder flush on nozzle. See Figure 2.
3. Insert connector on JetShield™assembly into
the flexible ejector tube.
4. Insert connector of ejector tube into operator saliva ejector.

5. Place ejector tube clip around ejector tube and handpiece
cable such that cables drape together for patient and clinician
comfort.
6. (Optional) Place handpiece clip along handpiece, close to
handpiece/cable connection, such that clip is holding the
JetShield™evacuation tube in place along handpiece.
7. Verify that slurry exits from the JetShield™when air polishing
unit is activated. Adjust saliva ejector as necessary.
8. Proceed with routine air polishing, applying cup to tooth
so cup flares slightly. Pivot nozzle inside cup, adapting to
mesial and distal surfaces. Apply 2 seconds of spray for each
segment of tooth, releasing foot control each time. If spray
escapes, readjust cup to maintain flat contact with tooth sur-
face, adjusting angle by pivoting nozzle inside of handpiece.
After completion of each procedure, remove JetShield™assembly
and dispose of JetShield™according to applicable regulations.
Wipe-disinfect all other components before next use.

It is recommended that you perform the following maintenance
procedures to help minimize bio-film formation in the lavage
path of your Prophy-JET system which could affect the lavage
flow to the air-polishing insert and air-polishing performance.
9.1 Daily Maintenance
Start-Up Procedures at the beginning of the day:
1. Open the manual shut-off valve on the dental water
and air supply systems.
2. With the system OFF, unscrew the powder chamber cap.
Verify the powder bowl is empty. Turn the Unit ON for
15 seconds to eliminate residual powder or moisture in
the lines. Turn the system OFF.
3. Pour the powder into the chamber until it reaches the top
of the center tube and screw on powder chamber cap.
4. Turn the system ON. Hold the Handpiece (without an insert
installed) over a sink or drain, activate the Foot Control,
and flush the water line at maximum water flow for at least
2 minutes.
5. Place a Cavitron®JET Air Polishing Insert into the
Handpiece and adjust the powder and Lavage Flow
as required.
6. Inspect and replace if threads are worn or scratched.
Between Patients:
1. Remove the Cavitron®JET Air Polishing Insert (clean using
the wire cleaning tool). Sterilize (See insert instructions).
2. Set Water Control to highest setting. Activate the System
and flush at least 30 seconds.
3. Turn the System OFF.
4. Clean and disinfect the surfaces of the cabinet, Power Cord,
Handpiece Connector and cable assembly, Foot Control and
cable assembly by applying an approved non-immersion type
disinfectant solution* carefully following the instructions
provided by the disinfectant solution manufacturer. To clean
system, generously spray disinfectant solution on a clean
towel and wipe all surfaces. Discard used towel. To disinfect

system, generously spray disinfectant on a clean towel and
wipe all surfaces. Allow disinfectant solution to air dry.
12. Close the manual shut-off valve on the dental water
supply system.
*NOTE: Water-based disinfection solutions are preferred. Some
alcohol-based disinfectant solutions may be harmful and may
discolor plastic materials.
If the System is connected to a DualSelect™Medicament
Dispensing System, follow the recommended procedures
listed in the DualSelect™manual.
If powder fluffing is observed when Foot Control is not in use,
this would indicate an air leak. To correct, turn the Unit OFF,
remove the Fill Cap, clean any residual powder from the O-ring
seal and threads, replace the Fill Cap, tighten, and turn the Unit
back ON.
9.2 Weekly Maintenance
Using a soft brush (toothbrush), remove residual Prophy powder
from the cap and bowl threads. If not removed, caked powder
in threads can result in premature thread wear and cap
disengagement.
9.3 Lavage Filter Maintenance
When the lavage filter becomes discolored, the filter should
be replaced to prevent reduced water flow to the Cavitron™
PROPHY-JET®unit. A 10-pack of replacement filters is
available by ordering Part Number 90158 from your local
DENTSPLY®distributor.
1. Disconnect the water supply hose from the water source.
If a quick-disconnect connector is attached to the end of
the hose, relieve the water pressure by pressing the tip of the
connector in an appropriate container and drain the water.
2. Grasp the fittings on either side of the filter disk and twist
counterclockwise. Remove the filter section from either side
of the water hose.
3. Install the replacement filter onto the water hose fittings.
The filter should be positioned to match up with the correct
hose fitting.
4. Hand tighten the two hose fittings in a clockwise direction.
Reconnect the water supply hose, operate the unit to bleed
the air and test for leaks.
9.4 Powder Chamber Air
Filter Maintenance
There is a user-replaceable duckbill air filter attached to the side
of the powder chamber. If this filter becomes discolored or dirty,
it should replaced. New duckbill air filters (#60367) may be pur-
chased through your local DENTSPLY Professional distributor.
1. Turn off your Cavitron system.
2. Lift and remove the powder chamber from the system.
3. Carefully disconnect the clear tubing from the filter. First
disconnect the tubing from the bottom (small end) of the
filter. Slide filter from the bracket. Then disconnect the
clear tubing from the top (large end) of the filter and discard.
4. Connect the longer clear tubing from the side of the
chamber to the top of the new filter and slide filter into
the bracket. Connect the smaller clear tubing from the
bottom of the chamber to the bottom of the filter. Ensure
tubing is fully seated on filter ports.
5. Replace the powder chamber in the system.
6. Operate the system and check for leaks.
9.5 Air Supply Line Air Filter Maintenance
Water build up in the air supply line filter should be drained.
This can be accomplished by turning the knob on the bottom
of the filter counter-clockwise to open. After draining, turn the
knob fully clockwise to close. If the inner filter element becomes
discolored or dirty, a new filter assembly should be installed. A
new filter assembly (#90088) may be purchased through your
local DENTSPLY Professional distributor.
1. Disconnect the air supply line from the air source.
2. Using pliers or a wrench, loosen the nuts on the side fittings
of the filter. Unscrew the nuts and slide them down the hose.
Disconnect hoses from the filter and discard the used filter.
3. Insert the short hose into the input port of the filter and the
long hose into the output port of the filter. Slide the nuts up
the hoses and screw onto the fittings. Tighten using pliers or
a wrench.
4. Check that the bottom knob is fully clockwise (closed).
5. Operate the unit and check for leaks.
