5.8 Inserting objects to be treated
WARNING
Overloading
Do not overload baskets or accessories. Moving heavy baskets can cause physical injury.
To achieve good results, observe the following instructions when inserting objects
for sonication:
• Before each round of sonication, check that the sonication fluid is not contaminated.
If contamination is visible, replace the sonication fluid.
• The sonication fluid must be degassed. See chapter
5.7 Degassing the sonication fluid
• The sonication fluid must be pre-heated to the desired temperature before objects are
inserted.
• Use suitable accessories, e.g., a basket. Do not place objects directly on the bottom of
the oscillating tank. See chapter
.
• Distribute the objects evenly. Do not stack them. Make sure that delicate objects do not
touch other objects.
• The ultrasound must be switched off while objects are inserted.
• Check the fill level. Make sure the liquid completely covers all objects undergoing
sonication.
• Remove air bubbles from cavities. Rotate the objects accordingly. The ultrasound process
will only be effective in places where the liquid comes into contact with the object
undergoing sonication.
• Place the more heavily soiled side facing down. Place objects with joints (e.g. scissors,
forceps) into the container open so that the sonication fluid reaches the entire
surface optimally.
5.9 Removing treated objects
WARNING
Risk of burns
The sonication fluid, objects to be treated, the surface of the device and accessories may be
very hot.
- Do not touch the surface of the device or accessories such as the lid.
Do not reach into the sonication fluid.
- Allow the sonication objects to cool before touching them.
Switch off the ultrasound before removing the treated objects.
Do not remove sonication objects by hand. Carefully remove e.g. the insert basket
with the sonication objects and place it on a level surface.
