Introducon
Thank you for purchasing a Soniclean Ultrasonic Washer. Soniclean washers are
designed to improve the quality and consistency of cleaning instruments using
ultrasonics and clean water rinsing. It is intended that the instruments shall be
gross-cleaned prior to loading into the Washer, and be sterilised in the usual
manner aer ultrasonic cleaning.
This manual will guide you through the safe and eecve operaon of your
device. Please also ensure you have familiarised yourself with specic instrucons

4 Foil Test
Tip: Remove tray to ensure foil test is accurate.
4.1 Performing a Foil Test
i. Complete the usual start process.
ii. Use a strip of ‘home’ brand aluminium foil about 150mm long x width of roll
iii. Suspend foil from wire stretched between tray handles.
iv. Press TEST Key to switch on ultrasonic and unit will run for 30 sec as
programmed.
v. Remove the foil and compare the number and distribuon of perforaons with
the sample foil test provided with your machine.
Refer Australian Standard AS/NZ 2773.1-1998, page 16 for more details.
NOTE: It is important to always use the same type of foil. It is suggested that a test is performed,
on receipt of the machine, of such duraon as to give a result similar to the sample provided. This
will then become the foil test me for that type of foil.
4.2 Foil Test Problem Solving
If you are having diculty geng a foil test to perform to standard, work through the
following items, then try foil test again.
4.2.1 Machine may require further degassing.
4.2.2 Detergent Type and Diluon
Tip: Check detergent bole is full, check that same brand is being used, and check bole and hose
are connected and that there are no kinks in the line.
i. Always use a pH neutral or slightly alkaline detergent (pH 8 to 10.8) that is made
specically for ultrasonic machines.
ii. Extra detergent may be added to overcome water quality issues.
4.2.3 Contact your service agent if you cannot achieve a sasfactory foil test.
N.B. As per AS/NZ 2773.1-1998, it is acceptable to use alternave methods of tesng
the performance of your ultrasonic machine. Examples such as aluminium disc and pencil
test, Soniclean Ultrasonic Performance Meter (UPM) must be used as per manufacturer’s
instrucons.
