Cleaning and maintenance of the ultrasonic bath
To achieve an optimum lifespan for the ultrasonic bath, cleaning and maintenance are to be
conducted regularly.
CAUTION !
Disconnect the ultrasonic bath from the mains before cleaning / maintenance.
Do not rinse or immerse the ultrasonic bath in water, and do not expose it to splash water.
The guarantee will not apply to damages caused by the use of unsuitable disinfection
agents or detergents.
5.1
Cleaning and care
Oscillating tank
The oscillating tank of an ultrasonic bath is a wear part.
It is continuously exposed to cavitation during ultrasound operation.
Dirt particles contained in the bath
fl
uid abrade and also damage the tank surface through the
movement of the
fl
uid, therefore
• Rinse the oscillating tank with water thoroughly and frequently and dry using a soft cloth.
• Regularly remove residue from the edges of the oscillating tank using a commercial stainless
steel cleaning product without any abrasive additives.
• Do not use steel wool, scrapers or graters for cleaning / maintenance.
• Rust particles from the water pipe system can penetrate the passive protective layer of the
stainless steel, "activating" the stainless steel and making it begin to rust. The extraneous
rust produces localised corrosion of the stainless steel. For this reason, remove rust stains
immediately using a soft cloth and a commercial stainless steel cleaning product without
abrasive additives.
Housing
• Do not use any abrasive cleaners, only commercial care products without abrasive additives.
• Housing is to be wiped off only from the outside with a moist cloth; afterwards, allow to dry alone
or wipe dry.
5.2
Disinfection for medical applications
If disinfection of the ultrasonic bath is not performed correctly or regularly, there is a risk of
microorganisms colonising the device and causing microbiological contamination, particularly on
the rim of the bath and around the out
fl
ow, which can result in a cross infection. Consequently,
the baths and surfaces of the device must be disinfected and cleaned regularly. The disinfection
should be performed regularly by the operator in accordance with the hygiene plan and using a
VAH-certi
fi
ed
/1
or effective surface disinfectant.
Accessories such as holders and baskets should be processed regularly in a cleaning and
disinfection unit.
5.3
Warehousing / storing
During long periods of non-use, the ultrasonic bath is to be stored in a cool, dry location.
