SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The following Safety Precautions must be observed when operating or servicing this Ultrasonic Cleaning System.
WARNING indicates the potential for personal injury and CAUTION indicates the potential for damage to
equipment. For emphasis, certain Safety Precautions are repeated throughout the manual. It is important to
review ALL Safety Precautions before operating or servicing the unit.
WARNING – PINCHING HAZARD:
Pinch point is created during lid articulation. Keep hands clear when opening or closing the lid.
WARNING – CHEMICAL BURN AND/OR EYE INJURY HAZARD:
Detergents are caustic and can cause adverse effects to exposed tissues. Do not get in eyes, on skin or
attempt to ingest by mouth.
• Read and follow precautions and instructions on detergent label and in Material Safety Data Sheet
(MSDS) prior to handling chemical, refilling chemical containers or servicing chemical injection
pumps and lines.
• Wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) whenever handling chemicals or servicing
chemical injection pumps and lines.
WARNING – ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD:
Allow instrument tray to fully drain prior to moving to next processing stage. Excess water spillage
may cause electrical shock and serious injury.
Disconnect all utilities to unit before servicing. Do not service unit unless all utilities have been properly
locked out. Always follow local occupational health and safety regulations, as well as electric and
plumbing codes.
Lock building electrical supply disconnect switch and console master power Switch to OFF before
checking or replacing any parts. Electrical shock can cause serious injury.
WARNING – EXPLOSION HAZARD:
Use only water or water-detergent mix in cleaning chamber. Never use flammable solvents. Fire or
explosion could result.
WARNING – SLIPPING HAZARD:
To avoid slippery floor conditions, immediately wipe up any spilled liquid or condensation. If spills or
drippage are detergents or other chemicals, follow safety precautions and handling procedures set forth
on detergent or chemical label and/or Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
Crest Healthcare Console Junior R:1 1-1
Safety Precautions Operating Manual

WARNING – PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD:
Repairs and adjustments to this equipment must be made only by trained service personnel.
Maintenance performed by unqualified personnel or installation of unauthorized parts could cause
personal injury, result in improper equipment performance, invalidate the warranty, or result in costly
damage. Contact Crest regarding service options.
Regularly scheduled preventive maintenance, in addition to the faithful performance of routine
maintenance described within this manual, is required for safe and reliable operation of this
equipment.
Failure to perform periodic inspections of the cleaner could result in serious personal injury or table
damage.
WARNING – DISPOSAL HAZARD:
This product contains materials which may require disposal through appropriately licensed and
permitted hazardous waste management firms.
CAUTION – POSSIBLE EQUIPMENT DAMAGE:
Never use CLEANING Chamber as a sink. Under no circumstances should waste water be poured into
cleaning chamber as water could overflow drain and damage delicate components.
Never drop or rest parts directly on chamber bottom top of transducers.
Never scratch chamber walls or transducers. This can increase cavitation erosion.
When choosing a detergent, select one with a low chloride content. Detergents with a high chloride
content can be harmful to stainless steel.
Repeated fuse burnouts indicate a short circuit or overload. Have a fully trained technician locate and
correct situation.
Use nonabrasive cleaners when cleaning unit. Follow directions on container and rub in a back-and-
forth motion, in same direction as surface grain. Abrasive cleaners damage stainless steel. Cleaner
rubbed in a circular motion or applied with a wire brush or steel wool will scratch and dull stainless
steel. Do not use these cleaners on painted surfaces.
Failure to remove shipping bracket and hardware from lid counterweights will result in lid and/or unit
cabinet damage.
REMEMBER – POSSIBLE TIME DELAY:
Insufficient clearance space will make repairs more difficult and time-consuming. Refer to the
equipment drawing for minimum clearance for service/maintenance access requirements.

to building supply lines.
Cleaning system is level. Use levelling legs if necessary.
For cleaning system, verify lid counterweights shipping
bracket and hardware are removed from rear of cabinet (see
Figure 2-1).
Building cold water line supplies water to unit as specified on
equipment drawing.
Building hot water line supplies water to unit as specified
on equipment drawing.
Building waste line is provided to unit as specified on
equipment drawing.
Verify all quick disconnect clamps are tightened. Tighten if
necessary.

NOTE: After a few weeks of operation, inspect unit for leaks.
Retighten all clamps and connections.
2.2 General When ultrasonic energy is introduced into a cleaning solution,
cavitation (the foundation of ultrasonic cleaning) occurs. Ultrasonic
energy causes alternating patterns of low- and high-pressure phases.
During the low-pressure phases, minute bubbles (or vacuum cavities)
are formed. During the alternate high-pressure phases, the bubbles
implode violently - this is called cavitation.
Cavitations provide scrubbing action leading to rapid cleaning
speeds and consistency when compared with simple soaking or
immersion with agitation. Additionally, the bubbles are small enough
to penetrate even microscopic crevices, cleaning them thoroughly
and consistently. As a result, ultrasonic cleaning is an effective and
efficient method of cleaning.
This cavitation or optimum ultrasonic cleaning power is ensured by
constant power output generators operating about 132kHz and
complemented with complex resonance frequencies to ensure lock-
box cleaning efficiency. The generators are mounted with individual
slide out modules for ease of service. Also, patented ceramically-
enhanced transducer modules are bonded to the wash tank providing
efficient energy transmission for instrument cleaning.
The Ultrasonic Cleaning System is a freestanding instrument washer,
supplied in a compact stainless-steel cabinet with automatic opening lids
and load elevators for easy and safe instrument loading. The System
contains all needed components to effectively clean (utilizing ultrasonic
cavitation passing through a detergent-balanced wash solution as
described in the previous paragraphs), thoroughly rinse surgical
instruments prior to disinfection and sterilization.

Refer to Table 4-2 also.
To achieve maximum cleaning efficiency, select chemical appropriate
to soil type being processed. Crest recommends the following
chemicals:
• Chem-Crest® 14EZ - is a mildly alkaline and enzymatic liquid
detergent for the cleaning of surgical instruments. It is designed to
be used in an ultrasonic bath for the removal of blood, tissue,
ointments, light oils, bodily excretions, and other contaminants
associated with surgical instruments. It is formulated to be low
foaming and an aggressive blood remover. It is non- caustic and
phosphate free.
• Chem-Crest® LF275 - is a multipurpose, heavy-duty, phosphate
and silicate-free caustic liquid detergent. It is useful in many
applications demanding removal of various contaminants such as
oil, greases, and particulates. This detergent finds many uses
throughout industrial, mechanical and maintenance cleaning
operations including spray and turbulent environments.
NOTE: Crest does not promote, recommend or endorse the use
of any type of chemical additives (e.g ., strong alkaline
detergents [pH>12], alcohol rinses and liquid germicides
