2.7 Harmful to health due to ultrasound noise
The ultrasound noise typical of the process can be perceived as very unpleasant.
Remaining within a radius of 2 m for an extended period of time may cause dam-
age to health.
• Use a sound proof box; see
. The sound proof box significantly
reduces the noise level.
• When operating without a sound proof box, wear hearing protection.
2.8 Keep out of reach of children
Children cannot identify hazards posed by the ultrasound bath. Therefore, keep
the ultrasound bath out of the reach of children.
2.9 Damage to the probe and sonication vessel
Probes are sensitive to shock. Handle the probes with care.
Make sure that the probe does not touch the sonication vessel. This can damage
the probe and the vessel.
Foreign bodies on the contact surface between the probe and standard horn or
booster horn can destroy both parts. Therefore, always clean the contact surfaces
thoroughly before mounting the probe.
The sound-emitting surface of the probe is subject to erosion. Erosion reduces
the efficiency of the sonication process. The sonication of corrosive liquids leads
to increased wear.
The sound-emitting surface can be reconditioned up to a certain point of erosion.

2.10 Disturbance of wireless communication
The device may interfere with other wireless communication ultrasound baths in
the immediate vicinity.
If interference occurs with the operation of a wireless device, move it further
away from the ultrasound bath.
