What to do if DENTSPLY Cavitron Steri-Mate has lavage leakage?
- GGregory PowellAug 13, 2025
If you notice lavage leakage from your DENTSPLY Dental equipment, several factors could be the cause. Start by checking the lavage solution bag for punctures and replace it if damaged. Inspect the lavage tubing assembly for porosity and replace if necessary. Examine the handpiece adapter and Steri-Mate® Handpiece for cracks, replacing them if found. Ensure the tubing size is correct and fits snugly on the adapter barb; replace with .110 inch / 2.794 mm I.D. tubing if it's loose. Inspect the O-rings on the Cavitron® Insert, handpiece cable, and handpiece adapter for wear or if they're missing, and replace them as needed using the appropriate item numbers (Green Item #62605, Black Item #62351, and Item #79357).
