1 APPLICATION AND INTENDED USE
INTENDED
USE
The ultrasonic bath has been designed to clean instruments used
in many fields including the medical, dental, cosmetic, and
veterinary areas as well as all sectors requiring ultrasonic
cleaning.
By ultrasonic cleaning (cavitation), the device enables to sanitize hard-to-reach spots,
difficult to be manually cleaned, without the risks resulting from handling contaminated
instruments.
Recommended steps when using in the dental field:
DISINFECTION Chemical disinfection is only performed if suitable liquid disinfectant
is used in the percentages and times specified by the manufacturer.
CLEANSING This step reduces the amount of microbial contamination by over
90%. It removes the residual organic material resulting from the
previous procedure.
RINSING After cleansing, it is necessary to rinse the instruments subjected to
cleaning. This step removes any residual disinfectant / detergent.
DRYING After rinsing, the instruments must be dried to remove water
residues which can compromise the subsequent sterilization
process.
The ultrasonic bath must be used only for cleaning instruments and
materials that are compatible with the ultrasonic cleaning system, and
generally only for the purposes intended by the manufacturer.

PRODUCT
STEP DESCRIPTION
1
Loading water (Before supplying power to the device)
Fill the bath with water, preferably distilled, up to about 2/3 of its maximum
volume.
THE BASKET MUST BE COMPLETELY IMMERSED.

Add the detergent to the bath in the percentage specified by the
manufacturer
Selected
percentage 3-litre bath volume (ml) 9-litre bath volume (ml)
1% 22 60
2% 44 120
3% 66 180
4% 88 240
5% 110 300
6% 132 360
3 Heating
The device proceeds to heating the cleaning liquid. It stops when the set
temperature is reached.
Note that during the ultrasonic cleaning, the cleaning liquid temperature
increases.
4 Degassing (DEGAS)
The device proceeds by intermittently activating ultrasound. This process
reduces the gases dissolved in the liquid improving the effectiveness of the
subsequent cleaning.
5
Ultrasonic cleaning
Cleaning step by ultrasonic cavitation.
SWEEP
Ultrasound frequency is modulated by reducing the adverse effects of standing
waves and increasing the distribution of ultrasonic energy in the cleaning liquid.
Cleaning is more effective (cavitation is improved)
9
Drain
In versions without drain, the bath is
emptied manually.
In versions with drain, the bath is
emptied by opening the appropriate
valve VL par 06.
Before handling the device, detergents and accessories:
- Unplug the power cord
- Check the temperature of the device - danger of burns
- Check the liquid detergent - corrosive liquids
- Wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment

The use of glasses is suitable for the cleaning of very small objects. it is also possible to
use different detergents in the two glasses.
Place the cup holders on the tub after .
Place the glasses with special seals in the correct areas so that they are immersed in the
liquid for about 1/3 of their height.
Fill the tank so as to reach 2/3 of the total volume.
Fill the glasses with the detergent so as to cover the objects to be treated.
The glasses can be used with different detergents at different percentage (example: 1
Glass filled with detergent to 5%, 2 glass filled with disinfectant to 10%)
In version 3 lt is not possible to use stainless steel basket.
In version 9lt is possible to use stainless steel basket,put it on the opposite side of the tub.
