Page 6: Safety
Safety 2 Safety Using the ultrasonic bath The ultrasonic bath can used for the following applications: • Ultrasonic cleaning of objects of all shapes, types and sizes • Homogenisation, emulsification • Rapid degassing of liquids • Sonochemical applications, e.g. for radical generation or for improved material transport •... -
Page 7: Use In Medical Field
Safety Use in medical field The intended medical purpose of the ultrasonic bath is the cleaning of instruments. Ultrasonic cleaning is performed in the context of further steps required when reprocessing medical devices. Please observe the hygiene requirements as per the applicable regulations during this procedure. -
Page 8: Avoiding Cross-Contamination And Infections
Safety User group The ultrasonic bath may be used by persons who are qualified and trained for their work, e.g. in the reprocessing of instruments. Pregnancy is not a contraindication for operating the ultrasonic bath. Avoiding cross-contamination and infections If you use the ultrasonic bath in the medical field, clean and disin- fect the surfaces of the ultrasonic bath on a regular basis with at least a bactericidal, yeasticidal and, to a limited extent, virucidal surface disinfection agent to avoid cross-contamination. -
Page 9: Risk Of Electric Shock
Safety Risk of electric shock The ultrasonic bath is an electrical appliance. If safety rules are not observed, a life-threatening electric shock can result. • Protect the ultrasonic bath against moisture and liquids. Keep the surface and the controls clean and dry. •... -
Page 10: Risk Due To High Working Temperatures
Safety Risk due to high working temperatures The ultrasonic bath, the sonication fluid and the goods to be treated can become hot during operation. Touching them can lead to burns. The working temperature can be set to up to 80°C. Ultrasound heats the sonication fluid even without additional heat- ing. -
Page 11: Danger From Ultrasound
Safety Danger from ultrasound High ultrasonic levels like those reached in the ultrasonic bath destroy cell structures. If part of the body is immersed in the soni- cation fluid during operation, this can cause damage to skin and also damage to internal tissue. The periosteum of finger bones can be damaged. -
Page 12: Erosion Of The Ultrasonic Oscillating Tank
Safety During cleaning, water-polluting substances, e.g. oils or heavy- metal compounds, can contaminate the sonication fluid depending on the type of soiling. If the limit value for these substances is exceeded, the sonication fluid must be reprocessed or disposed of as special waste. -
Page 13: Avoiding Damage To The Ultrasonic Bath
Safety 2.12 Avoiding damage to the ultrasonic bath • Use aggressive agents exclusively in inset beakers or insert tubs. When working with aggressive agents, do not allow them to splash into the sonication fluid or onto the stainless steel sur- face. -
Page 14: Safety Stickers On The Ultrasonic Bath
Safety 2.14 Safety stickers on the ultrasonic bath • Observe all safety stickers on the ultrasonic bath. • Keep the safety stickers in legible condition. Do not remove them. Replace them once they are no longer legible. Contact our customer service about this. See chapter 6.4 Repair. 14/52 1686-000 GB/2021-03... -

Page 17: Remote Control
Design and function SONOREX ultrasonic baths use SweepTec®, a technology in which the ultrasonic frequency varies frequently around the working fre- quency. The optimum working frequency depends on the load, fill- ing level, temperature and type of sonication fluid. The working frequency can differ greatly from the nominal frequency. -
Page 18: Preparation For Operation
Preparation for operation 4 Preparation for operation Requirements for setup location The setup location for the ultrasonic bath must meet the following conditions: • The setup surface must be horizontal, solid and dry. • The load-bearing capacity must be sufficient for the ultrasonic bath with the sonication fluid. -
Page 19: Performing A Function Test
Preparation for operation Performing a function test Requirement • The ultrasonic bath has adapted to the climatic conditions at the setup location for at least 2 hours. Procedure 1. Insert the mains plug for the ultrasonic bath into an earthed mains socket. -
Page 20: Operation
Operation 5 Operation Direct and indirect sonication Objects can be sonicated directly or indirectly in the ultrasonic bath. Direct sonication is the standard process. The objects to be soni- cated are placed in the ultrasonic oscillating tank using suitable accessories, e.g. a basket. There, they are in direct contact with the sonication fluid in the tank. -
Page 21: Sonication Fluid
The ultrasound agent used must foster cavitation and be biode- gradable, easy to dispose of, material-compatible and long-lasting. BANDELIN recommends ultrasound agents from the TICKOPUR, TICKOMED and STAMMOPUR product ranges from DR. H. STAMM GmbH. -
Page 22: Sonication Time
Operation Sonication time NOTICE Risk of damage to the goods to be treated Excessively long sonication can damage the surface of the goods to be treated. – Select a short sonication time where possible. The ideal sonication time depends on several factors: •... - Page 23 Operation NOTICE If you use an agent in powder form, do not pour it directly into the ultrasonic oscillating tank. – Mix agents in powder form in another container before you pour them into the ultrasonic oscillating tank. – Only pour the agent into the ultrasonic oscillating tank once it has dissolved completely.

Page 26: Avoiding Retardation Of Boiling
Operation Procedure 1. Press the button for setting the temperature repeatedly until the required temperature between 20 and 80°C is displayed. » The target temperature is indicated by a continuously lit yel- low LED. 2. To switch off the heating, hold down the button for setting the heating temperature for at least 2 seconds. -
Page 27: Degassing The Sonication Fluid - Degas
Operation Degassing the sonication fluid – DEGAS Sonication fluid that has been freshly filled or left in the ultrasonic oscillating tank for a long period must be degassed before use. Degassing the sonication fluid increases the effect of the ultra- sound. -
Page 28: Removing Goods To Be Treated
Operation • Remove air bubbles from cavities. Rotate the objects accord- ingly. Remove air bubbles under inset beakers. The ultrasound only works where the fluid is in contact with the goods to be treated or the inset beaker. • Position the side with greater soiling so it is facing downwards. Insert objects with joints (e.g. -
Page 29: Emptying The Ultrasonic Oscillating Tank
Operation 5.11 Emptying the ultrasonic oscillating tank WARNING Risk of electric shock – Disconnect the mains plug before lifting the ultrasonic bath. – Do not place the ultrasonic bath in a sink to empty it. – Make sure that fluid cannot get into the housing. CAUTION Hot sonication fluid and ultrasonic oscillating tank There is a risk of burns when you lift the ultrasonic bath. -
Page 30: Enabling And Blocking Continuous Operation
Operation 5.12 Enabling and blocking continuous operation The function can be blocked to prevent accidental activation of con- tinuous operation. Requirement • The mains plug is disconnected.
