Warnings and safety precautions
General
• Keep the ultrasonic bath out of the reach of children and persons who have not been instructed
in its operation by reference to these instructions.
• We will not offer a guarantee for damages to the ultrasonic bath or oscillating tank, or to the
objects to be treated, as a result of use of inadequate disinfection agents or detergents.
• Keep the surface of the ultrasonic bath and operating elements clean and dry.
• Do not expose the ultrasonic bath to corroding in
fl
uences.
• Move the ultrasonic bath only when it is empty.
• Empty the ultrasonic bath only while turned off.
• Ultrasonic baths adhere to prescribed EMC limit values, such that it can be assumed that the
electromagnetic radiation emanating from the units is harmless to humans. A binding statement
for wearers of implants can only be made at the place of work and together with the implant
manufacturer, however. In case of doubt, information regarding the allowable electromagnetic
exposure level is to be obtained from the implant manufacturer.
Operation
• Observe ambient and set-up conditions, see chapter 1.4.
• Only plug in the ultrasonic bath to an outlet with a grounded socket.
• Do not operate the ultrasonic bath without
fl
uids.
• Do not stand or lay any objects on the tank bottom, accessories must be used, see chapter 7.
• Do not immerse any parts of the body (e.g. hands, feet) or living beings (animals or plants) into
the tank; in particular, do not immerse them in the ultrasonic
fl
uid during ultrasound operation.
Danger: Ultrasounds have a cell-destroying effect.
• In the event of continuous activity within a 2 m radius, adequate hearing protection must be
used. Danger: Hearing disturbances during operation when not wearing hearing protection - the
typical ultrasound cavitation noise can be very uncomfortable.
• When preheating the bath liquid, stir at least every 15 min. or switch on the ultrasound. Danger:
Scalding due to retardation of boiling.
• Do not operate the ultrasonic bath while unattended.
Advice for the medical
fi
eld
• The ultrasonic bath is exclusively intended for use by medical skilled personnel.
• When handling contaminated instruments, relevant personnel protection regulations are to be
observed.
• When treating instruments, the instructions of the instrument manufacturer are to be followed.
• Ultrasound cleaning is especially suited for instruments made of stainless steel and hard
plastics. Do not treat lenses, camera systems or light cables with ultrasound.
