Product Overview
The Cavitron® RF™ Combination System is a precision engineered and manufactured instrument. It
contains controls and components for ultrasonic scaling and air polishing modes. Mode selection is
automatic when you place the JET Air Polishing Insert or one of the interchangeable 30K™ ultrasonic
inserts into the handpiece.
In the scaling mode, the system produces 30,000 strokes per second at the ultrasonic insert’s working tip
that when combined with the cavitational effect of the coolant lavage creates a synergistic action that
literally “powers away” the heaviest calculus deposits while providing exceptional operator and patient
comfort.
In the air polishing mode, the system delivers a precise air/water/powder mixture at the JET air polishing
insert tip that polishes the tooth enamel without contact so there is less abrasion to enamel and no physical
pressure or heat build-up to cause discomfort in sensitive patients.
Technological advances in the Cavitron JET RF system, including a wireless footswitch, easy to view
illuminated display, 330° swivel handpiece cable with lavage control, JET-Mate™ detachable, sterilizable
handpiece, rinse setting, automated purge function, and Expanded SPS™ Technology, combine with
established features like The Blue Zone™ extended low power range and Hands-Free Boost mode, to
provide the ultimate in ultrasonic scaling experiences for both you and your patient while still providing the
quality and reliability you’ve come to expect from Cavitron Brand ultrasonic systems.

• It is the responsibility of the Dental Healthcare Professionals (DHCP) to determine the appropriate
uses of this product and to understand the health of each patient, the dental procedures being
undertaken, and industry and governmental agency recommendations, requirements, and regulations
for safe practice of dentistry.
• Where asepsis is required or deemed appropriate in the best professional judgment of the DHCP, this
product should not be used.
• During boil-water advisories, this product should not be operated as an open water system (e.g.
connected to a public water system). DHCP should discontinue use on patients and contact the local
water authority to determine when it is safe to continue use of this product. When the advisory is
cancelled, the local water authority should provide guidance for flushing of waterlines. All incoming
waterlines from the public water system inside the dental office (e.g., faucets, waterlines, and dental
equipment) should be flushed in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions for a period of 2 to 5
minutes.
• It is suggested that prior to beginning treatment, patients should rinse with a known antimicrobial such
as Chlorhexidine Gluconate 0.12%. Rinsing with an antimicrobial reduces the chance of infection and
reduces the number of microorganisms the patient might release in the form of aerosols during
treatment.
• Per FCC Part 15.21, changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
Section 3: Precautions
3.1 Precautions for All Systems
Ultrasonics
• For optimum performance use only inserts manufactured by DENTSPLY® Professional.
• 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 care when moving.
• Equipment flushing and dental water supply system maintenance are strongly recommended. See the
Water Supply Recommendations, Water Line Requirements and System Care sections.
• Close manual shut-off valve on the dental office water supply every night before leaving the office
• The use of an in-line water filter is recommended.
• Never operate the scaling mode without fluid flowing through handpiece.
Air Polishing
• The use of an air dryer on the compressor line supplying the System will prevent condensation from
forming in the air line which in turn may cause “caking” of the air polishing powder and clogging of
the lines and air polishing nozzle.
• Cavitron® Prophy Powders are specially formulated for use in Cavitron® Air Polishing Systems. Do
not use any other cleaning materials in the air polishing powder reservoir.
• Empty the air polishing powder bowl at the end of the day to prevent “caking” of the powder and
clogging of the lines and air polishing nozzle.
• Never operate the air polishing mode without fluid flowing through the handpiece.
3.2 Precautions for Ultrasonic Prophylaxis Procedures
• Like a toothbrush, ultrasonic inserts “wear” with use. Inserts with just 2 mm of wear lose about 50%
of their scaling efficiency. In general it is recommended that ultrasonic inserts be discarded and
replaced after one year of use to maintain optimal efficiency and avoid breakage. A DENTSPLY®
Professional insert efficiency indicator is enclosed for your use.
• If excessive wear is noted, or the insert has been bent, reshaped or otherwise damaged, discard the
insert immediately.
• Ultrasonic insert tips that have been bent, damaged, or reshaped are susceptible to in-use breakage and
should be discarded and replaced immediately.
• Retract the lips, cheeks and tongue to prevent contact with the insert tip whenever it is placed in the
patient’s mouth.

3.3 Precautions for Air Polishing Procedures
• Only set the air polishing powder flow control to the maximum position (H) when it is necessary to
remove particularly difficult stains. Return the powder flow control to the medium position upon the
completion of the procedure.
• Avoid use on restorative dental materials.
• Avoid prolonged use on cementum or dentin.
• Avoid prolonged use on polished metal surfaces as a matte finish may result.
• Patients who have severe respiratory illness should consult their physician before undergoing air
polishing prophylaxis procedures.
• Patients wearing contact lenses should remove them prior to air polishing treatment.
• JET Air Polishing Insert nozzles that have been bent, damaged or re-shaped, are susceptible to in-use
breakage and should be discarded and replaced immediately.
• Check O-ring and threads on powder bowl cap to ensure a tight seal. If O-ring or threads are worn,
replace immediately.
• Residual prophy powder in threads can result in excessive wear and disengagement of the cap during
unit operation. Be sure to clean threads regularly as per Section 9: System Care.

• Note: Refer to the Infection Control Information Booklet supplied with your system for general
procedures to be followed at the beginning of each day and between patients.
• The edges of Cavitron® Ultrasonic Inserts are intentionally rounded so there is little danger of tissue
laceration with proper ultrasonic scaling technique. Whenever the insert tip is placed in the patient’s
mouth, the lips, cheek and tongue should be retracted to prevent accidental (prolonged) contact with
the activated tip.
• Hold the empty Handpiece in an upright position over a sink or drain. Activate the Foot Control until
water exits.
• Lubricate the rubber O-ring on the insert with water before placing it into the handpiece. Fully seat
insert with a gentle push-twist motion. DO NOT FORCE.
• Activate the System. Hold the handpiece over a sink or drain. (Check spray to verify fluid is reaching
the working end of the insert tip). Adjust the water control to ensure adequate flow for the selected
power setting. Greater flow settings provide cooler irrigation.
• It may be necessary to adjust lavage with the System in “Boost” mode (Foot Control fully depressed)
so adequate fluid will be available to cool tip tooth interface.
• In general, it is suggested that a “feather-light-touch” be used for ultrasonic scaling. The motion of the
activated tip and acoustic effects of the irrigating fluid, in most cases, are adequate to remove even the
most tenacious calculus.
• Periodically check the Cavitron Ultrasonic Insert for wear with the Cavitron Insert Efficiency
Indicator.
• The use of a saliva ejector or High Volume Evacuator (HVE) is recommended during all procedures.
• Set the System’s Ultrasonic Power Control knob to the lowest efficient power setting for the
application and the selected insert.
8.3 Patient Comfort Considerations
Reasons for sensitivity
• Incorrect tip placement. The point should never be directed toward tooth root surfaces.
• Not keeping tip in motion on tooth. Do not allow the insert to remain in a static position on any one
area of the tooth. Change the insert’s path of motion.
8/17/2005 CavitronRF Combo - DFU Draft 08-01-05 Rev8doc

• Applying excessive pressure. Use a very light grasp and pressure, with a soft tissue fulcrum whenever
possible, especially on exposed cementum.
• If sensitivity persists, decrease power setting and/or move from the sensitive tooth to another and then
return.
8.4 Air Polishing Powder bowl
• Use only Cavitron® Prophy Powder in your Cavitron® RF™ Combination System. Any other
substance or additives may clog the system and will void the warranty. For your convenience, the
prophy powders are supplied in bottles. Keep stored in a location that does not exceed 95o F.
• A special container is provided with your System for use in emptying the powder bowl.
• It is strongly recommended that the Powder bowl be emptied at the end of each day. This will reduce
moisture absorption and minimize clogging.
To fill, or refill, the Powder bowl: (Picture)
• Turn the System OFF.
• Unscrew the Powder Fill Cap.
• With the cap of the powder bottle closed, shake the powder bottle vigorously to break up any lumps
that may have formed from settling. Carefully pour powder into the bowl until the level reaches the
top of the center tube.
• Replace the Powder Bowl Cap and tighten.
• Turn the System ON.
NOTE: Use only Cavitron® Prophy Powders in the system. Powder should be kept dry and stored in a
location that does not exceed 95oF.
To adjust the flow of powder:
• Adjust the powder flow rate by positioning the control on the cap at H (12 o’clock), M (9 o’clock) or L
(6 o’clock).
• For heavy stain removal set the control to H.
• For light stain removal set the control to L.
• The control can be set at any position between H and L.
• The view window at the center of the pointer lets you observe
the powder flow (small white circle of powder) during
operation. If no flow is seen, check for clogging or add prophy
powder.
8.5 Air Polishing using the JetShield™ Aerosol reduction
device Accessory
Jet-Shield Precautions:
The JetShield ™ cup assemblies are designed for single use only.
Use of chemical 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 bioburden, then use a fresh cloth and more
disinfectant to clean surface. Dry with clean paper towel or air.
JET-Shield Set-Up Instructions:
1. Remove entire assembly from package.
2. Insert air polishing nozzle through cup and seat shoulder flush
on nozzle. See Figure 2A.
3. Insert small barb from ejector tube into evacuation tube of cup
assembly.
4. Insert large barb from ejector tube into operator saliva ejector.
8/17/2005 CavitronRF Combo - DFU Draft 08-01-05 Rev8doc
DRAFT
Page 13 of 18
5. Place ejector tube clip around ejector tube and handpiece cable such that the cables drape together for
patient and clinician comfort.
6. (Optional)Place handpiece clip such that the clip is holding the JetShield ™ evacuation tube in place
along handpiece as shown in applicable Figure 3.
After completion of each procedure,remove JetShield ™ cup assembly and dispose of according to
applicable regulations. Wipe-disinfect all other components before next use.
8.6 Performing JET Air Polishing Procedures with JetShield™
NOTE: Refer to the Infection Control card supplied with your System for
general procedures to be followed at the beginning of each day and between
patients.
• Adjust JetShield™ on the Cavitron® Air Polishing Insert nozzle as
indicated on instructions provided.
• Select the appropriate amount of powder using the dial on the air polishing
systems’s powder bowl.
• Verify that slurry exits from the cup when held outside the mouth; adjust
saliva ejector as necessary.
• Divide the tooth visually into segments to polish (incisal, middle and
gingival).
• Apply cup to middle third with light pressure so cup flares slightly.
• Pivot nozzle inside the cup to adapt to incisal, gingival, mesial and distal
surfaces.
• Apply two seconds of spray for each segment of the tooth, releasing the
Foot Control each time. If spray escapes, readjust cup to maintain flat
contact with tooth surface. Adjust angle by pivoting nozzle inside the
JetShield™ cup.
• The suction from the JetShield™ can be used to remove excess saliva from
the patient’s mouth.
• After completing each procedure, dispose of clear JetShield™ assembly
according to Federal, State and local regulations. Properly disinfect all
other JetShield™ accessories prior to reusing on future patients.
8.7 Performing Air Polishing procedures without JetShield™
• The recommended normal procedure is to clean 2-3 teeth with the air polishing
spray (Foot Control depressed to the second position) and then rinse the area
with water only (Foot Control depressed to the first position) to inspect the
work site before proceeding to thte next 2-3 teeth. If desired, the bleed air
(Foot Control released) passing through the air polishing insert tip can be used
to dry the work site during inspection.
• Flushing the patient’s tongue with water only (Foot Control depressed to first
position) helps reduce the saline taste.
• Place a 2 x 2 gause on lip and position saliva ejector.
• Maintain a 2 to 4 mm insert tip-to-tooth operating distance.
• The patient’s lip should be held between the thumb and index finger of your
free hand and pulled out and up, or down, to form a “cup”. Do not retract the
lips.
• Tilt the patient’s head toward you to help prevent puddling in the cupped lip
and minimize aerosol dispersion.
• Use saliva ejector or High Volume Evacuator (HVE).
• In the upper anterior region, use the upper lip and your hand as a shield to help
contain the aerosol spray.
• In the posterior regions, use the cheek to help contain aerosol spray.
• When air polishing the facial surfaces of the anteriors, center the spray on the
middle third of the tooth and use a constant circular motion. The edge of the
spray will clean the teeth to the gingival.
8/17/2005 CavitronRF Combo - DFU Draft 08-01-05 Rev8doc

• Do not aim directly at the soft tissue.
• Avoid prolonged use on polished metal surfaces as a matte finish may result.
8.8 Proper Angulation of the Air Polishing Insert without JetShield™
• Recommended angulation on the anterior teeth is 60o with the tip aimed at the middle third of the tooth
surface.
• Recommended angulation to occlusal surfaces is 90o.
• Recommended angulation on the buccal and lingual surfaces of posterior teeth is 80o with the tip aimed
slightly distally.
