Purpose
Gentle separation of bio
fi
lms (main application)
The BactoSonic ultrasonic bath may be used to detach bio
fi
lms gently from the surface of infected
implants, as part of the scienti
fi
cally-funded "Processing of implants using sonication methods".
The microorganisms that are obtained in this manner are available for analysis following cultivation
and make a prompt di
ff
erential diagnosis possible in the event of implant infections.
In this connection, the ultrasonic bath is classi
fi
ed in accordance with Directive 98/79/EC
on
medical devices as an in vitro diagnostic device
and is to be treated as such.
Sonication is always carried out in connection with a suitable preparation that is added to the
bath liquid. In order to use the device as intended, the implant boxes and box holders supplied
are further needed to collect the implants and place them in the oscillating tank during sonication
(indirect sonication). Only in this manner is the optimum di
ff
usion of the ultrasound guaranteed.
The ultrasonic bath is operated from the front. The operation is usually carried out on a table.
Further possible applications.
As an alternative to its main application, the BactoSonic ultrasonic bath may also be used for
the gentle and intensive cleaning of objects of diverse shapes, types and sizes and to support
chemical processes, e.g., during the preparation and treatment of samples. Accessories additional
to those included in the scope of supply may be required, depending on the application, to
guarantee proper sonication.
Caution
The user is fully responsible for the employment of suitable treatment and lab processes together
with the BactoSonic.
