An Essential Part of Your
Infection Control System
Congratulations on your purchase of a
BioSonic
® Ultrasonic Cleaner- the finest,
most efficient and most popular
ultrasonic cleaning system in dentistry.
Developed specifically for the dental
industry, BioSonic units feature unique
product design to optimize time and
safety in the office or laboratory.
BioSonic is a total ultrasonic cleaning
system, with a full line of cleaning
solutions and unit accessories which
provide you with the flexibility to
efficiently clean instruments, prostheses
and other appliances.
What is Ultrasonic Cleaning?
Ultrasonic Cleaning is a process created
by high frequency soundwaves. The
soundwaves, enhanced by specially
formulated cleaning solutions, create
high energy cavitation. During cavitation,
millions of tiny bubbles form and then
collapse or “implode,” releasing
enormous amounts of energy and shock
waves which scour the surface of
instruments, appliances and other
devices placed in the cleaning solution.
This powerful scouring action reaches
into minute crevices, which manual
brushing cannot reach. The combination
of energy and specially formulated
solutions make ultrasonic cleaning the
most effective method for removing gross
and microscopic debris.
I. Unpacking
1. Remove your BioSonic unit from the
shipping container and inspect the
unit for any possible damage which
may have occurred during shipping.
2. Check the serial number of the unit
(found on either the under side or
rear of the unit) with the number on
the shipping carton. If they are not
identical, contact your dealer.
3. Fill out the warranty card and mail
to Coltène/Whaledent Inc. within
10 days of receipt.
4. Select your desired location for the
cleaner. It should be in close
proximity to a sink or to waste lines
to facilitate draining. The hose
supplied with the unit will allow you
to place the unit on either side of the
sink or connect directly to the
waste line.
5. Connect one end of the hose to the
drain valve ( Fig. 1 ) and place the
other end in the sink. If desired, have
your plumber connect the hose
directly to the waste line with the
appropriate fittings.

MEMORY FEATURE: In the event of a
power failure, your UC125 is equipped

This supply will be capable of storing
user settings for a minimum of 12 days
before it is again necessary to reprogram
the unit.
III. Filling Instructions
1. Insure that the blue drain handle
( Fig. 2 ) is fully rotated clockwise to
the “Closed” position. Fill the unit
with warm water to the fill line
indicator (
Fig. 3 ).

ultrasonic cleaning solution (either
BioSonic General Purpose UC30,
BioSonic Germicidal Cleaner
UC38/UC42 or BioSonic Enzymatic
Ultrasonic Cleaner UC32) and water
into the tank. Press the solution reset
key.
3. Change the solution in the tank daily,
or sooner if it appears soiled or
discolored. When beakers are used,
change the solution in the beaker
after each use.
4. Drain unit by fully rotating the blue
drain handle counter-clockwise to
the “Open” position and allow
solution to empty into sink or waste
system. Rinse tank and fully rotate
the blue drain handle clockwise to
the “Closed” position. Never drain
