Heated sonication fluid intensifies the effect of the ultrasound.
Based on experience, the best results are achieved at working tem-
peratures between 50 and 60 °C. This allows the sonication time to
be reduced. At higher working temperatures, the effect of the ultra-
sound decreases again.
Do not heat the sonication fluid used to reprocess medical instru-
ments above 45 °C.
Ultrasound also heats the sonication fluid. During continuous oper-
ation, the working temperature of the sonication fluid can rise
above the set value – particularly if the ultrasonic oscillating tank is
covered. Therefore, check the working temperature when process-
ing temperature-sensitive objects.
• Note the information on the optimum working temperature
from the agent manufacturer.
• Pre-heating during the degassing of the sonication fluid is ideal.
Degassing the sonication fluid – DEGAS
• Before pre-heating, remove the basket or other accessories
from the ultrasonic oscillating tank. Cover the ultrasonic oscillat-
ing tank with the lid if available.
Information
The heater is equipped with overtemperature protection. If there is
no heating function, disconnect the device from the mains and
allow it to cool down to below 50 °C before putting it back into
operation.
Requirements
• The ultrasonic oscillating tank has been filled.
• The mains plug has been connected to an earthed mains socket.
• Device is switched on. The green "0" LED on the temperature
scale lights up.
Procedure
1. Press the button for setting the temperature repeatedly until
the required temperature between 20 and 80 °C is displayed.
» The target temperature is indicated by a continuously lit yel-
low LED.
2. To switch off the heating, hold down the button for setting the
heating temperature for at least 2 seconds.
» The "0" LED on the temperature scale lights up.
