Concerns the following ultrasonic baths:
• DT 31 H, DT 52 H,
• DT 100 H, DT 102 H, DT 102 H-RC, DT 103 H,
• DT 156 BH,
• DT 255 H, DT 255 H-RC,
• DT 510 H, DT 510 H-RC, DT 512 H,
• DT 514 H, DT 514 BH, DT 514 BH-RC,
• DT 1028 H, DT 1028 CH,
• DT 1050 CH
Heated sonication fluid intensifies the effect of the ultrasound.
Based on experience, the best results are achieved at working tem-
peratures between 50 and 60°C. This allows the sonication time to
be reduced. At higher working temperatures, the effect of the ultra-
sound decreases again.
Do not heat the sonication fluid used to reprocess medical instru-
ments above 45°C.
Ultrasound also heats the sonication fluid. During continuous oper-
ation, the working temperature of the sonication fluid can rise
above the set value – particularly if the ultrasonic oscillating tank is
covered. Therefore, check the working temperature when process-
ing temperature-sensitive objects.
• Note the information on the optimum working temperature
from the agent manufacturer.
• Pre-heating during the degassing of the sonication fluid is ideal.
See chapter
5.8 Degassing the sonication fluid – DEGAS
.
• Before pre-heating, remove the basket or other accessories
from the ultrasonic oscillating tank. Cover the ultrasonic oscillat-
ing tank with the lid if available.
Requirements
• The ultrasonic oscillating tank has been filled.
• The mains plug has been connected to an earthed mains socket.
• The ultrasonic bath is switched on. The green "0" LED on the
temperature scale lights up.
