Cleaning Method:
1. Put the item inside a container. Add proper fluid to submerge the area to be cleaned.
2.
Place the container in the tank directly. Add water to a level between MIN and MAX at least
half inch or 13 mm above the bottom of the container but, not over the container.
3.
Turn the power switch on. Press Time key to set the timer to 10 minutes. Press On/Off key
to start cleaning. Ultrasonic waves will penetrate the container and clean the items.

COMMON CLEANING METHODS
A. Regular cleaning
Use filtered water for best results.
Suitable Locations:
Dental and medical offices and labs.
Cleaning Method:
1.
Put the items to be cleaned inside the basket
and put the basket inside the tank.
2.
Add clean chemicals to the cleaning tank to a
level between “MIN” and “MAX” lines and above
the area to be cleaned.
3.
Turn the power switch on. Press Time button to
set the timer to 10 minutes. Press On/Off button
to start cleaning.
Notes on using the basket:
1.
Stainless steel rack and tray absorbs approximately 8% of ultrasonic energy, plastic
basket absorbs about 35% of ultrasonic energy. This significantly reduces the cleaning
effectiveness. Basket can reduce the friction between the items and the tank.
2.
During cleaning, dirt will come off like a cloud and the water will become murky over time.
When the “cloud” stops coming, the cleaning is basically done.
B. Indirect Cleaning
Put the items in a separate container.
Use ultrasonic waves to penetrate the container
to do the cleaning.
Suitable Locations:
Medical instrument sterilization rooms.
Different applications use different fluids to be used inside the
container.
1.
Small instruments such as burs and files. Keep them
separate from main instrument cleaning.
2.
Instruments that use a different solution such as
cement remover.
3.
Instruments that use corrosive solution such as a
disinfectant that’s corrosive. Avoid contacting the plastic
housing with corrosive solutions.
4.
Multiple patients’ dentures. Disinfect the container
after each patient.
Selection of the container:
1.
Plastic containers – Plastics are soft and will absorb about 30-40% of ultrasound energy
and reduce the cleaning effect.
2.
Aluminum containers – Absorbs about 20% of ultrasonic energy.
3.
Glass containers – Absorbs about 5% of ultrasonic energy
4.
Stainless steel containers – Absorbs about 8% of ultrasonic energy.
Optional stainless steel indirect cleaning tank is available with this model.
