Functions
Are there any persons which may not be exposed to the ultrasound
cleaning function?
In general (with the exception of pregnant women) the
ultrasound cleaning function may be used on all per-
sons which are also allowed to take a bath. In case
you are not sure, ask a medical doctor if the applica-
tion of the ultrasound cleaning (at 25 to 30 KHz and
about 100 mW/cm²) is safe for the patient’s health
condition. (Also see the following questions.)
May the ultrasound cleaning function be used on pregnant women?
For safety's sake pregnant women may not be exposed to
the ultrasound cleaning function. (Should it still
happen unintentionally, then there normally is no harm
to be expected, since the intensity used is low at 100
mW/cm². Still, one should not take unnecessary risks
regarding the life of others.)
May the ultrasound cleaning function be applied to people with
pacemakers?
We have no information about any disruption of a pace-
maker’s functionality because of ultrasound or an ul
trasound transducer.
May the ultrasound cleaning function be applied to persons with
implants or other metal objects in or on their body?
Implants or other metal objects are no problem.
For how long at a time may the ultrasound cleaning function be ap-
plied to a person?
The ultrasound used would not have any negative ef-
fects for the body, regardless of the duration of ex-
posure to it. Still, for the sake of usefulness and
practicality the ultrasound cleaning function has a
build-in time limit.
Should any bath additives be used during the application of the
ultrasound cleaning?
Bathing oils should be avoided, since these have a
negative impact on the effectiveness of the ultrasound
cleaning. However, shampoo may be used.
