2. Initial operation
You will find the power switch “O/I” located at the rear of the UNGUATOR® B/R on its
base. This is also the emergency switch. Please check that the UNGUATOR® B/R power
switch is set to off. Connect the power cord to the socket outlet. You may now switch
the UNGUATOR® B/R on using the power switch. The device is now ready for operation.
3. UNGUATOR® Technology
The UNGUATOR® Technology reduces the mechanical preparation of formulation ointments
to the least common denominator. The core of UNGUATOR® Technology consists of
the patented arrangement of the UNGUATOR® Mixing Blade adapted to the
requirements of prescription ointments and the UNGUATOR® Jar that serves as both
a hygienic mixing jar and a hygienic dispensing jar.
The principle of the preparation method using UNGUATOR® Technology in the closed
UNGUATOR® Mixing System is quick and easy to learn, true to the motto:
learning by doing
A little experience will make it easy to prepare ointments though they may seem
rather complicated at first. Using the UNGUATOR® Technology enables the pharmacy
to better prepare prescription ointments in a shorter period of time compared to
the conventional methods that were used prior to the invention (1994). For the
first time, it is possible to not only standardize ointments, but validate them too.
3.1 UNGUATOR® mixing machines
The current UNGUATOR® mixing machines - the UNGUATOR® B/R, the UNGUATOR® e/s,
the UNGUATOR® 2100 and the UNGUATOR Q - are useful and advanced improvements on
the first UNGUATOR® from 1994. They are designed for a working capacity of approx. 500
work hours wich corresponds to approximately 15,000 to 20,000 preparations.
The UNGUATOR® mixing machines feature a high safety standard and were tested by
TÜV-Rheinland, Germany for safety. The devices are manufactured under license and
maintained by defined service partners.
Product quality, product uniformity and reproducibility of ointments prepared individually
and in batches were improved with the increasing automation of the UNGUATOR® units
starting with the individual model B/R- through the e/s-, Q- and 2100 models.
