Ultrasonic Instrument Cleaner

Ultrasonic Cleaning is the follow-up to manual cleaning. While manual cleaning removes most or all of the visible soil from an instrument, it may not remove small or microscopic particles that are protected by the texture of a surface or design features like hinges. Ultrasonic creates microscopic bubbles in the solution that collapse when they contact the instrument releasing energy. This energy “kicks” any soil that is in the area off the instrument. This process is called Cavitation. The detergent in the ultrasonic bath suspends the soil particles and keeps them from attaching back to the instrument. Ultrasonic cleaning should be done for a duration, as specified by the detergent or ultrasonic machine manufacturer, whichever is longer. The detergent solutions must be changed following the instructions of the manufacturer of the detergent or the ultrasonic, whichever states a shorter change interval? This procedure ensures that the potential for cross contamination of instruments is minimized. Following ultrasonic cleaning, the instruments are rinsed with clean water and dried. Ultrasonic cleaners for medical cleaning are available in different configuration with single or dual ultrasonic frequencies and within the tank size ranging from 0.8 to 250 liters and also customized sizes as per user specific needs.
