Section 1: IndicationsUltrasonic procedures:• All general supra and subgingival scaling applications.• Periodontal debridement for all types of periodontal diseases.• Endodontic procedures.Section 2: Contraindications and Warnings2.1 Contraindications• Ultrasonic Scalers should not be used for restorativedental procedures involving the condensation ofamalgam.• For optimum performance use only insertsmanufactured by DENTSPLY Professional.2.2 Warnings• Persons fitted with cardiac pacemakers, defibrillatorsand other active implanted medical devices, have beencautioned that some types of electronic equipment mightinterfere with the operation of the device. Although noinstance of interference has ever been reported toDENTSPLY, we recommend that the handpiece andcables be kept at least 6 to 9 inches (15 to 23 cm) awayfrom any device and their leads during use.• There are a variety of pacemakers and other medicallyimplanted devices on the market. Clinicians shouldcontact the device manufacturer or the patientʼsphysician for detailed information about the device.Section 3: Precautions3.1 Precautions for All Systems• Do not place the ultrasonic scaler on or next to aradiator or other heat source. Excessive heat maydamage the ultrasonic scalerʼs electronics. Place theultrasonic scaler where air is free to circulate on all sidesand beneath it. Do not cover vents on rear panel.• The ultrasonic scaler is portable, but must be handledwith care when moving.• Equipment flushing and dental water supply systemmaintenance are strongly recommended. See Section 9:System Care.• Close the water shut-off valve in the dental watersupply system every night before leaving the office.• The use of an in-line water filter is recommended.• Never operate the ultrasonic scaler without waterflowing through the handpiece.• Grounding reliability can only be achieved when theequipment is connected to an equivalent receptaclemarked “Hospital Only” or “Hospital Grade”.3.2 Precautions for Ultrasonic ProphylaxisProcedures• Like a toothbrush, ultrasonic inserts “wear” with use.Inserts with just 2 mm of wear lose about 50% of theirscaling efficiency. In general it is recommended thatultrasonic inserts be discarded and replaced after oneyear of use to maintain optimal efficiency and avoidbreakage. A DENTSPLY Insert Efficiency Indicator isenclosed for your use.• If excessive wear is noted, or the insert has beenbent, reshaped or otherwise damaged, discard theinsert immediately.• Ultrasonic insert tips that have been bent, damaged,or reshaped are susceptible to in-use breakage and shouldbe discarded and replaced immediately.• Retract the lips, cheeks and tongue to prevent contactwith the insert tip whenever it is placed in thepatientʼs mouth.ENGLISH • 3

Section 4: Infection Control4.1 Infection Control Information Reference BookletFor your convenience, an Infection Control Informationreference booklet has been included with your CavitronBOBCAT Pro Ultrasonic Scaler. Additional booklets canbe obtained by calling Customer Service at 1-800-989-8826 or717-767-8502 Monday through Friday, 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.(Eastern Time). For other areas, contact your local DENTSPLYrepresentative.4.2 General Infection Control Recommendations• As with all dental procedures, the use of universalprecautions (i.e., wearing a face mask, eyewear or faceshield, gloves and protective gown) is recommended.• For maximal operator and patient safety, carefullyfollow the Infection Control Information proceduresdetailed in the booklet accompanying your ultrasonicscaler.• As with high-speed handpieces, and other dentaldevices, the combination of water and ultrasonicvibration from your Cavitron BOBCAT Pro UltrasonicScaler, will create aerosols. With proper technique,much of the aerosol dispersion can be effectivelycontrolled and minimized. Please carefully follow theprocedural guidelines in this manual regarding the useof your ultrasonic scaler.• A 0.12% chlorhexidine pre-rinse (ORIS TM ) isrecommended prior to starting any dental procedure.4.3 Water Supply RecommendationsIt is highly recommended that all dental water supplysystems conform to applicable CDC (Centers for DiseaseControl and Prevention) and ADA (American DentalAssociation) standards, and that all recommendations befollowed in terms of flushing, chemical flushing, andgeneral infection control procedures. See sections 5.2 and 9.Section 5: Installation Instructions5.1 General InformationIf the installation of your Cavitron BOBCAT Pro UltrasonicScaler is performed by someone other than trainedDENTSPLY Distributor personnel or DENTSPLY ServiceTechnicians, care should be taken to observe the followingrequirements and recommendations.5.2 Water Line Requirements• The Systemʼs water supply line is factory installed.Do not disconnect it from the ultrasonic scaler.• Incoming water supply line pressure to the ultrasonicscaler must be 25 psi (172kPa) minimum to 60 psi(414kPa) maximum. If your dental water systemʼssupply line pressure is above 60 psi, install a waterpressure regulator on the water supply line to yourCavitron BOBCAT Pro Ultrasonic Scaler.• A manual shut-off valve on the dental water systemsupply line should be used so that the water can becompletely shut-off when the office is unoccupied.• A filter in the dental water system supply line isrecommended so that any particles in the water supplywill be trapped before reaching the ultrasonic scaler.• After the above installations are completed on thedental water supply system, the dental office water lineshould be thoroughly flushed prior to connection to theultrasonic system.• After flushing system verify there are no leaks.ENGLISH • 45.3 Electrical RequirementsRefer to Section 11: Specifications.5.4 Unpacking the SystemCarefully unpack your Cavitron BOBCAT Pro Ultrasonic Scalerand verify that all components and accessories are included:1.

Cavitron ® DualSelect TM Dispensing systemFor detailed information, contact your local DENTSPLYrepresentative or authorized DENSTPLYdistributor.Section 8: Techniques for Use8.1 Patient Positioning• For optimal access to both the upper and lower arches,the backrest of the chair should be adjusted to a 45˚degree angle. This assures patient comfort andclinician visibility.• Hold the empty handpiece in an upright position over asink or drain. Activate the Foot Control until water exits.• Lubricate the rubber o-ring on the insert with waterbefore placing it into the handpiece. Fully seat insertwith a gentle push-twist motion. DO NOT FORCE.• Activate the System. Hold the handpiece over a sink ordrain. (Check spray to verify fluid is reaching the working end of the insert tip). Adjust the Water Control knobto ensure adequate flow. Greater flow settings providecooler irrigant.• In general, it is suggested that a "feather-light touch" beused for ultrasonic scaling. The motion of the activatedtip and acoustic effects of the water, in most cases, isadequate to remove even the most tenacious calculus.• Periodically check the Cavitron Ultrasonic Insert forwear with the Cavitron Insert Efficiency Indicator.• The use of a saliva ejector or High Volume Evacuator(HVE) is recommended during all procedures.• Set the ultrasonic scalerʼs Power Control knob to thelowest effective power setting for the application and theselected insert.• Have the patient turn his/her head to the right or left.Also position chin up or down depending upon thequadrant and surface being treated. Evacuate irrigantusing either a saliva ejector or High Volume Evacuator(HVE).8.2 Performing Ultrasonic Scaling Procedures• Note: Refer to the Infection Control InformationBooklet supplied with your system for generalprocedures to be followed at the beginning of each dayand between patients.• The edges of Cavitron® Ultrasonic Inserts are intentionallyrounded so there is little danger of tissue lacerationwith proper ultrasonic scaling technique. Wheneverthe insert tip is placed in the patientʼs mouth, the lips,cheek and tongue should be retracted to preventaccidental contact with the activated tip.8.3 Patient Comfort ConsiderationsReasons for sensitivity• Incorrect tip placement. The point should never bedirected toward tooth root surfaces.• Not keeping tip in motion on tooth. Do not allow theinsert to remain in a static position on any one area ofthe tooth. Change the insertʼs path of motion.• Applying excessive pressure. Use a very light graspand pressure, with a soft tissue fulcrum wheneverpossible, especially on exposed cementum.• If sensitivity persists, decrease power setting and/ormove from the sensitive tooth to another and then return.ENGLISH • 8
