Q & A
What is the warranty period for the Caviton select g124 30k unit?
-The Caviton select g124 30k unit comes with a 2-year warranty, which is valid for normal usage conditions.
Under what circumstances would the warranty for the Caviton select g124 30k be void?
-The warranty would be void if there are any modifications or accidental damage to the unit.
What is included in the standard package of the Caviton select g124 30k?
-The standard package includes a sterate with a six-month warranty and a free FSI 1000 insert with a 3-month warranty from the date of purchase.
What is the purpose of the detachable water bottle and pump in the Caviton unit?
-The detachable water bottle and pump are designed for light work and are more likely to require regular surfacing and repair. They allow the unit to be used outside of the dental practice for domiciliary visits or transported between surgeries.
How is the Caviton SPs select connected to a surgery's own pressurized water bottle system?
-The Caviton SPs select can be connected to a female AD connection, which allows for less change of water and quieter operation as the pump is not required.
What is the cost of plumbing in a female AD water connection by a third party engineer?
-The cost of plumbing in a female AD water connection by a third party engineer is approximately £100.
How should the Caviton unit be assembled?
-First, attach the water reservoir to the pump by twisting it clockwise until tight against the large O-ring. Then, connect the pump and water bottle, align the back of the Caviton unit, which is the triangular section, and slide it into place. Finally, plug in the power cable, foot pedal cable, and handpiece cable with a detachable sterate.
What should be done to fill up the water reservoir of the Caviton unit?
-Turn off and depressurize the Caviton, unscrew the small white cap at the front of the reservoir bottle, and fill up to 2/3 of the bottle with irrigant or water. If air is heard coming from the cap, switch the unit off, unscrew the cap, and then retighten the cap.
Why is it recommended to use the Caviton SPs select with distilled water or water with an antibacterial solution?
-Using distilled water or water with an antibacterial solution helps to keep the lines clean of biofilm and prevents scale or debris buildup.
What is the recommended procedure for weekly waterline maintenance to remove scale?
-A 10% solution of bleach water should be run through the system and then replaced by the water normally used in the water bottle, such as RO water or distilled water, to flush out any remaining bleach.
How should the Caviton inserts be used for optimal efficiency and effectiveness?
-Inserts should be used on the water and power setting dependent upon the type and age of inserts. The power dial and water dial should be adjusted until a consistent drip with a light hue is achieved. Overuse of power can cause insert wear and patient discomfort.
What should be done if an insert or sterate starts to heat up during use?
-Stop scaling immediately, remove the insert, ensure the sterate is full of water, replace the insert, and turn the power down. Simply turning up the water will not cool down the insert.
