ÍNDICE

In search of convenience and quality in the cleaning of instruments, especially those used in
medical and dental care, we developed a device called “ultrasonic vat”.
The mode of action of BIOWASH (Bio-Art ultrasonic washer) is based on the conversion of
electrical energy into mechanical, through a piezoelectric crystal (ultrasonic transducers) that
generates high frequency waves (vibrations) in the stainless steel vat, which in turn should contain
water or a crust removing cleaning solution (chemical detergents - optional). These waves exceed
the capacity of the liquid to move with the same speed due to water mass inertia, causing the
formation of microscopic air and water vapor bubbles. These bubbles propagate into the
instruments acting like small brushes that work in all directions and attack the whole surface to be
cleaned, entering areas of difficult access removing various types of organic and inorganic waste
in a process called “ultrasonic cavitation”. BioWash is easy to use, however to get the most out of
the purchased product, we recommend reading the User's Manual before starting any cleaning
operation.
The ultrasonic method is faster and more efficient than the manual method in the following
aspects:
• Speed and optimization in the process of cleaning instruments used routinely in offices, clinics
and laboratories, including the areas of difficult access;
• Removes organic and inorganic waste impregnated in the instruments, which interfere in the
chemical reactions of the materials to be manipulated;
• Avoids grooves in the instruments caused by manual brushing methods thus preventing waste
impregnation them;
• Avoids early wear of the cutting wire of the instrumental, caused by abrasion of manual
methods;
• Security against cross-infection.
• Medical and Odontological Clinics:
Cleaning of pieces and instruments in general, not for disinfection purposes.
• Manufacturers of jewelry and precious stones stores:
Cleaning during the finishing process of necklaces, rings, earrings, etc. With the heating device
of the machine at 65 ° C, the polishing wax of the product surface will be removed.
• Chemical Laboratory:
Cleaning of test tubes and glassware in general.
• Home:
Efficient cleaning of baby bottles, pacifiers, children's toys, among others.
• Restaurants:
A quality cleaning can be achieved in cutlery, cleaning of coffee machine filters, among others.

- 01 -

• Repair of Precision Machinery :
A good cleaning and removal of dirt and grease can be achieved in the cleaning of pneumatic
valves, control valves, power steering valves, flow nozzles, precision gears and bearings. It
revives lubricating greases giving new life to the pieces.
• This washer performs the cleaning of instruments and does not perform the disinfection process
and / or sterilization of instruments.
• The site for installation shall be ventilated, spacious, flat and away from heat sources, water and
other machines, to avoid possible damages to the product.
• Check that the voltage of your device is compatible with the local power grid.
• Do not put flammable liquids or solvents in the vat. Use only products suitable for this type of
procedure.
• Do not put your hand inside the vat while the machine is running.
• Never disassemble the Ultrasound. The internal high voltage may cause accidents.
• Never actuate the washing machine without water. This will lead to a loss of warranty, since this
may damage or shorten the life of the equipment.
• Keep the unit unplugged from the power supply while filling with water. Do not exceed the
maximum level of filling (“MAX” in the vat).
• To avoid electrical shock, never touch the power cord or plug with wet hands.
WHAT CANNOT BE CLEANED:
NOTE: The oxidation of metals can not be removed. To improve the process,
we recommend the use of chemicals.
!
CAUTION!
If the equipment is not used as specified in this manual, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.
!
Jewelry (tortoiseshell, pearl, emerald, ivory, coral,
agate ...)
Precious metals (welding metals, electro plating,
alloys ,...)
Watches (except waterproof below 50m deep or
more)
Other (wood, glass, contact lenses, camera color
filters)
may suffer loss of color and brightness due to
friction.
weld or alloy spots may break. Electroplating breaks
may suffer enlargement after cleaning.
water can penetrate the watch, even if it's
waterproof.
apparent cracks apparent in wood, ceramic objects
or laminated lenses, may suffer enlargement (this
will not happen if the object is in perfect condition).

DIRECT METHOD:
The solution is placed in the vat and the materials in the tray or hanging pierced basket, picture 1.
It provides efficiency in cleaning and ease operation, but you can only use one cleaning solution at
a time, and all removed dirt stays in the vat, which may suffer corrosion if highly caustic or acid
solutions are used.
INDIRECT METHOD:
The crust removing solution and instrumentals are placed in becker-type containers (not
included), picture 2.
The vat is filled with water and cleaning solution to improve the cavitation, and the dirt stays in the
containers (becker) that can be filled with different crust removing solutions. Another advantage of
the indirect method is that the containers (becker) can be autoclaved to avoid cross-contamination
of prosthetic parts, appliances and other devices that may later be used by patients.

• Select and position the support basket as needed (direct or indirect method);
• Place the instruments to be cleaned in the basket and cover;
Note: Do not put large number of instruments (overlaid), as this may
compromise the efficiency of the cleaning process, cause friction between
them, leading to loss of brightness of these instruments.
