BioSonic® UC150
Ultrasonic Cleaner
1. Overview
An Essential Part of Your Infection Control System
Congratulations on your purchase of a BioSonic® UC150 - a high quality, extremely efficient and
popular ultrasonic cleaning system in dentistry.
Developed specifically for the dental industry, the BioSonic UC150 unit features a unique product
design to optimize time and safety in the office or laboratory.
BioSonic is a complete ultrasonic cleaning system, with a full line of cleaning solutions and unit
accessories which provide you with the flexibility to efficiently clean instruments, prostheses,
burs and other appliances.
The Clinical Benefits of Ultrasonic Cleaning
Ultrasonic cleaning is a process created by high frequency soundwaves. The soundwaves,
enhanced by specially formulated cleaning solutions, create high energy cavitation within the
cleaning solutions. During cavitation, millions of tiny bubbles form and then collapse or
“implode,” releasing enormous amounts of energy and shockwaves which scour the surface of
instruments, appliances and other devices placed in the cleaning solution. This powerful scouring
action reaches into minute crevices, which manual brushing cannot reach. The combination of
energy and specially formulated solutions make ultrasonic cleaning an effective method for
removing both large and microscopic debris prior to high level disinfection and sterilization of
medical instruments.
Intended Use:
The BioSonic® UC150 is intended to assist in the cleaning of medical instruments by the emission
of high frequency soundwaves.
Intended Users:
The BioSonic® UC150 is intended to be used by Dentists, Hygienists, or other dental practitioners.
Contraindications:
There are no known contraindications for the BioSonic UC150 Ultrasonic Cleaner.

2. Safety Information
NOTE: Failure to comply with these Caution and Warning statements may result in injury to
personnel or equipment damage.
CAUTION!
Do not operate the unit without sucient solution in the tank. Do not use water
alone as the carrier bath. Water is not a satisfactory coupling agent unless a
wetting agent is used. For best results use BioSonic General Purpose, BioSonic
Germicidal Cleaner or BioSonic Enzymatic Ultrasonic Cleaning solutions.
Do not place objects directly on bottom of the tank because they may block
cavitation and cause buildup of heat in the transducer causing premature failure.
Use only BioSonic UC150 accessory baskets, cassette racks or beakers to hold
items.
Do not restrict airow. Provide adequate ventilation by maintaining at least
2inches clearance at the back.
Do not subject unit to shock or impact.
Do not immerse the unit in water.
Keep the display surface dry for proper functioning of device.
This product is intended for use only by trained healthcare professionals.
Use this product in accordance with the instructions in the owner’s guide.
Unspecied or improper use of this product may impair safety protection.
Before cleaning items of considerable value ultrasonically, consult the item’s
manufacturer for cleaning precautions.
The power o selection from the keypad does not turn o main power to the
unit. Unplug the device from the power outlet to shut down the device.
This equipment may cause radio interference or may disrupt the operation of
nearby equipment. It may be necessary to take mitigation measures such as
reorienting or relocating the unit or shielding the location.
Never drain tank by manually discarding solution as this may cause the unit to
stop working properly.
Use only the supplied power cord or equivalent rated for 105°C.
Do not disassemble the unit. There are no user serviceable parts inside.
Keep unit covered to reduce airborne contaminants.
Do not place ngers or hands in the ultrasonic tank while in operation.
Ensure appropriate decontamination in case of spillage of hazardous material on
or inside of the equipment through device openings.

EN
CAUTION!
Federal law restricts this device to sale on the order of a licensed healthcare
practitioner.
Do not clean instruments that cannot be submursed in water.
Do not use the ultrasonic cleaner to clean instruments that are rubber or plastic.
The heating function on the BioSonic UC150 (if enabled and applicable to the
model) takes place until set temperature is reached only. If the set temperature is
reached before the end of the cleaning cycle, the heater will shut o, but the cy-
cle will continue. Through prolonged use, the natural cavitation process will con-
tinue to heat the solution beyond the desired temperature, but at a decreased
rate without the heater. When this happens, the unit is still functioning properly.
Do not use petroleum based solvents, iodophors or phenolic based products to
clean the device. Iodophors and phenolics can stain the plastic surfaces of the
unit. Clean up all liquid spills immediately. Rust deposits on tank can be cleaned/
removed with a commercially available stainless steel cleaner.
WARNING!
Operation for long periods of time will cause the cleaning solution to get very
hot. To avoid scalding, do not place hands in the solution or spill any onto you.
Be careful when removing an item from the tank as it may also be hot. Bath
temperature on the display is accurate to within ± 2º C (± 3º F).
Do not operate the unit without sucient solution in the tank. Failure to do so
may result in injury to personnel or equipment, including the risk of re.
It is the responsibility of the user to verify that a cleaning cycle is eective. The
user must inspect all devices for a satisfactory level of cleaning before continuing
to the next step in the infection control process.
WARNING!
Power should not be supplied to the unit until all interconnections between the
display and tank enclosure and any accessories are securely connected.
This unit must be properly grounded. Failure to properly ground unit may result
in serious injury.

5. Installation and Setup
General Setup
• Inspect the device for damage prior to setup. If the device is damaged, contact the distributor or
manufacturer.
• Select your desired location for the BioSonic UC150. It should be on a solid level surface and in
close proximity to a sink or to waste lines to facilitate draining. The hose supplied with the unit
will allow you to place the unit on the left side of the sink or connect directly to the waste line.
• Connect one end of the hose to the drain valve (Figure 4*) and place the other end in the sink.
If desired, have your plumber connect the hose directly to the waste line with the appropriate
fittings.
• CONNECT THE DISPLAY. Attach the connector on the bottom of the display module to the
connector on the top right-hand corner of the unit. Press the display module down carefully

6. Filling Instructions
• Ensure that the drain handle (Figure 5*) is fully rotated counter-clockwise to the closed position.
Fill the unit with warm water to the fill line indicator (Figure 6*). Ensure that the water level is
filled up to the minimum line and does not exceed the maximum line while using accessories
like beakers or baskets.
• Pour the required amount of ultrasonic cleaning solution (eg. BioSonic® General Purpose UC30,
BioSonic® Enzymatic Ultrasonic Cleaner UC32) and water into the tank. Note that some
solutions require the use of a beaker.
• Change the solution in the tank daily or sooner if it appears soiled or discolored. When beakers
are used, change the solution in the beaker after each use.
• Drain unit by fully rotating the drain handle clockwise to the “Open” position and allow the
solution to empty into sink or waste system. Rinse tank and fully rotate the drain handle
counter-clockwise to the“Closed”position. Never drain tank by manually discarding solution as
this may cause the unit to stop working properly.
NOTE: Never operate the unit without solution. Operating a dry tank will void the warranty.
Do not place objects directly on bottom of tank. Always use a cassette basket or beakers.

7. Degassing
Degassing the solution eliminates large air bubbles that interfere with the cleaning process and is
necessary each time new solution is added to the tank.
NOTE: Be careful not to introduce unwanted gases into the liquid. Do not pump/pour the
solution too quickly into the bath, insert/remove the product being cleaned into the bath too
rapidly, or move product while in the bath. Doing so will re-introduce gas into the solution and
require a longer degas cycle.

• The BioSonic UC150 should always be covered while operating to trap aerosols in the tank. The
BioSonic UC150 is equipped with a hinged cover for easy one hand opening. The cover also
conveniently lifts off for cleaning in spaces with low cabinets above the unit.
• Do not place additional instruments into a cleaning load mid-cycle. The additional instruments
may not be cleaned as effectively as those in the original load. Additional instruments may also
impact the cleaning efficacy of the original load by covering soiled instruments and increasing
the mass of the load.
Heater Operation
Certain models of the BioSonic UC150 are equipped with a heater to accelerate heating of the
solution in the tank. Selecting a temperature instructs the heater to activate during the next
cleaning cycle and remain active until the temperature is reached.
NOTE: The heater feature is not designed to maintain the selected temperature, but rather
activate at the start of the next cleaning cycle and deactivate once the set temperature is
reached. Thermostatic control is not a feature of the BioSonic UC150.
CAUTION!
The heating function of the BioSonic UC150 (if enabled) takes place until the set
temperature is reached only. If the set temperature is reached before the end of
the cleaning cycle, the heater will shut o, but the cycle will continue. Through
prolonged use, the natural cavitation process will continue to heat the solution
beyond the desired temperature, but at a decreased rate without the heater.
When this happens, the unit is still functioning properly.
Activate the Heat Feature
In order to obtain the activation code, visit http://biosonic.coltene.com or email customer service
at info[email protected] or [e-mail].
NOTE: The temperature in the tank is displayed in the top bar of the LCD screen. Pressing the

12. Maintenance
Cleaning
All components should be cleaned each day by wiping with a soft cloth moistened with a
commercially available mineral deposit remover followed by cleaning with isopropyl alcohol or a
mild disinfectant. It is recommended to drain and dry the tank at the end of each work day.
CAUTION!
Do not use petroleum based solvents, iodophors or phenolic based products to
clean the device. Iodophors and phenolics can stain the plastic surfaces of the
unit. Clean up all liquid spills immediately. Rust deposits on tank can be cleaned/
removed with a commercially available stainless steel cleaner.
Stainless Steel Cleaning
Allowable:
• Wash with a clean cloth or rag soaked with warm water and mild soap or liquid dish detergent.
• Always clean in the direction of the original polish lines.

15
EN
• Always rinse well with clear water (2 or 3 times) after cleaning. Wipe dry completely.
• Specialized household stainless steel cleaner may also be used.
Avoid:
• Do not let dirt accumulate.
• Steel or stainless steel wool or scrapers to remove stubborn debris.
• Harsh or abrasive cleaners.
• Chemicals harmful to stainless steel not limited to but including products that contain
chloride, fluoride, iodide or bromide.
• Cleaners that contain bleach.
In case of questions regarding compatibility of decontamination or cleaning agents please contact
Coltène/Whaledent, Inc.
Inspecting the Power Cord Periodically
Check the power cord for damage and confirm that the connectors at both ends of the cord are
fully seated.
Changing the Fuse
• Remove the power cord from the wall outlet first and then from the power cord receptacle on
the rear of the unit.
• The fuse compartment is located directly above to the power cord receptacle. To access, take a
small, flat-headed screwdriver to the tabs on the fuse holder. Apply slight pressure to release
the fuse holder (Figure 9*).
• Gently remove the fuses from the fuse holder.
• Examine the fuses (Figure 10*). If blown, replace with a fuse that matches the unit’s voltage and
current. If the fuse appears to be in good condition, return the unit to your dealer or Coltène/
Whaledent. This is an indication that the unit is defective.
• Plug the power cord into the power cord receptacle on the rear of the unit. Then plug the power
cord into the wall receptacle.
NOTE: The fuse is a protection device designed to limit the amount of current being drawn or
supplied to the unit. If a fuse is blown, this can mean that there was a surge of current to the unit
due to an external power surge such as lightning, or more likely due to an internal component
failure of the cleaner.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1.“How do I test my unit to verify that it’s working?”
In order to verify the performance of your BioSonic UC150, follow the instructions on the BioSonic
UC150 Ultrasonic Cleaner Performance Test card. A copy of the procedure is included with each
device and is also available at www.coltene.com.
NOTE:
• In some areas where the water quality is considered“hard,” distilled water may be required.
• To adequately test an ultrasonic cleaner’s ability to cavitate, solution must be present in the tank
prior to verifying performance.

19
EN
• Various solutions may inhibit the functioning of a unit (powder or tablet). It may therefore be
necessary to dissolve the powder/liquid solutions in warm water prior to being added to the
tank or use warm water in the tank and then perform the performance test.
2.“How long should I clean my instruments?”
Listed below are several points to consider when determining the duration of any cleaning cycle.
Adjustments to one or more of these points may be needed to achieve the desired level of
cleaning.
NOTE: Always consult the manufacturer or suppliers instructions for use before cleaning a device.
The below guidance cannot be used to replace the cleaning instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the instruments; they are provided to help users get the most out of each
cleaning cycle. If soil is still visible after the completion of a cleaning cycle, modification to one or
more points may be required, and then additional cleaning cycles may be required until all soil is,
at a minimum, visibly removed. It is the responsibility of the user to verify that a cleaning cycle
was eective. The user must inspect all devices for a satisfactory level of cleaning before
continuing to the next step in the infection control process.
• Size of the load being cleaned
The more instruments placed into an ultrasonic bath, the less effective the cleaning
cycle will be. It is not recommended to place instruments in the basket so that they
overlap, as open surface areas will be easier to clean. Filling a basket with clear space
between instruments should lead to a more effective cleaning cycle.
• Amount and type of soil to be removed
Some contaminates have a stronger bond to the instruments being cleaned and may
need a longer cleaning cycle. Also, the amount of soil on the instruments being cleaned
has an effect on the time required to complete a cleaning cycle.
• Type of cleaning solution used
Not all kinds of cleaning solutions are the same in regards to cleaning effectiveness.
Some cleaning solutions work well on some contaminates, but not as well on other
contaminates.
• Type of water
Not all water is the same and may vary in level of contaminates and hardness which can
affect the level of cavitation in the solution. This can increase or decrease the time of a
cleaning cycle.

20
• Solution temperature
The temperature of the solution can have an impact on the effectiveness of the cleaning
cycle. The formation of cavitation events increases with temperature and the
corresponding reduction in the fluid surface tension. Also, some solutions are more
effective at a higher temperature, while others are more effective at a lower temperature.
Consult the instructions of the solution for any requirements or recommendations from
the manufacturer.
• Amount of soil in the solution
Repeated use of the same solution bath will lead to decreased performance as the bath
becomes saturated with soil. It is recommended to change your solution every 8 hours
at a minimum, or whenever the solution becomes visibly soiled or dirty.
• How long instruments have been soiled prior to cleaning
Soil should not be allowed to dry on instruments prior to cleaning; they should be
processed immediately following a procedure. If they cannot be cleaned immediately
following a procedure, it is recommended they be placed in a soaking solution so the
soil does not harden on the instruments, which would increase the time of the cleaning
cycle. The BioSonic ST16 Dental Soaking Tray is an example of a device designed for this
purpose.
Typical cleaning cycle time
15 minutes when cleaning a light load
20 minutes when cleaning a medium load
30 minutes when cleaning a heavy load
3. “I’ve activated the heater option, but the temperature doesn’t remain stable. Why
doesn’t the temperature remain at a set point?”
The BioSonic UC150 heater option only provides additional energy to the solution to increase the
temperature more quickly than with cavitation alone. It is not designed to maintain a set
temperature or cool the solution to a lower temperature. Please refer to the section of the manual
that describes the heater operation in detail.
4.“I’ve activated the heater option, but the solution isn’t heating.”
The BioSonic UC150 heater is only activated when the heater is turned on through the
temperature menu and a cleaning cycle has been activated. The heater will not turn on during a
degas cycle or when the unit is idle. Please refer to the section of the manual that describes the
heater operation in detail.
