Page 8: Avoidance Of Cross-Contamination And Infections
Safety 2.3 Avoidance of cross-contamination and infections If you use the device in the medical field, clean and disinfect the device's surfaces on a regular basis with a surface disinfectant which is at least bactericidal, levurocidal and, to a limited extent, virucidal disinfection agent to avoid cross- contamination. -
Page 9: Damage To Health Due To Ultrasonic Noise
Safety • If you discover a defect in the device, unplug it immediately. Do not connect any defective device to the mains. • Only have repairs carried out by qualified personnel or by the manufacturer. See Chapter 6.5 Repairs. • Position the device in such a way that it is possible to disconnect the mains connection at any time without difficulty. -
Page 10: Danger Due To Ultrasound
Safety 120 °C due to the energy supplied by the ultrasound. This can lead to fires and severe burns. • Do not use combustible, explosive or non-aqueous fluids (e.g., petrol, solvent) or mixtures with combustible liquids (e.g., alcoholic solutions) directly in the stainless-steel oscillating tank. -
Page 11: Disposing Of Sonication Fluid
Safety 2.10 Disposing of sonication fluid Dispose of the sonication fluid according to the instructions of the manufacturers of the ultrasonic agents used. The recommended ultrasonic agents belonging to the TICKOPUR, TICKOMED and STAMMOPUR product series from DR. H. STAMM GmbH are biodegradable in accordance with the provisions of Regulation (EC) No. -
Page 12: Preventing Damage To The Device
Safety 2.12 Preventing damage to the device • Only use aggressive agents in inset beakers or insert tubs. When working with aggressive agents, avoid splashes that get into the contact liquid or onto the stainless steel surface. Replace contaminated sonication fluid immediately. Clean surfaces and wipe them dry. -
Page 13: Safety Stickers On The Device
Safety 2.14 Safety stickers on the device • Observe all safety stickers on the device. • Keep the safety stickers in a readable state. Do not remove them. Replace them when they are no longer legible. Please contact our customer service for this. See Chapter 6.5 Repairs. -

Page 16: Function
Construction and function 3.3 Function The device uses cavitation triggered by low-frequency ultrasound. Piezoelectric transducers are located on the underside of the oscillating tank. The ultrasound generates strong pressure fluctuations in the sonication fluid. Cavitation bubbles are formed at the pressure minima. At higher ambient pressure around the bubbles, they collapse very quickly. -
Page 17: Preparation For Operation
Preparation for operation Preparation for operation 4.1 Installation site requirements The installation site of the device must meet the following conditions: • The installation surface must be horizontal, firm and dry. • The load-bearing capacity must be sufficient for the device together with the sonication liquid. -
Page 18: Rinsing The Oscillating Tank
Preparation for operation Result " When the ultrasound is switched on, you will clearly hear a noise. If you do not hear a noise, contact servicing. A foil test should be performed before the first application. This serves to document the effect of the ultrasound. See chapter 6.4 Performing a foil test. -
Page 19: Operation
The ultrasonic agent used must be cavitation conducive, biodegradable, easy to dispose of, gentle on materials and long-lasting. BANDELIN recommends ultrasonic agents from the TICKOPUR, TICKOMED and STAMMOPUR product series from DR. H. STAMM GmbH. -
Page 20: Sonication Time
Operation Observe the instructions from the manufacturer of the ultrasonic agent regarding dosing. The necessary amount of ultrasonic agent and water can be found in the dosing table. See chapter 9 Dosing table. You can calculate the quantities yourself analogously to the following example: 10 l ready-to-use solution, 2.5%: Agent: 10 l ×... -

If the heating function is not working, disconnect the device from the mains and allow it to cool down to below 50 °C. Only then can the device be put back into operation. - The heating operates independently of the ultrasound.
-
Page 26: Degassing The Sonication Liquid - Degas
Operation 5.7 Degassing the sonication liquid – DEGAS Sonication liquid that has been freshly poured in or that has remained in the oscillating tank for a long time must be degassed before use. Degassing the sonication liquid increases the effect of the ultrasound. The DEGAS function allows rapid degassing of the sonication liquid. -
Page 27: Removing Objects To Be Sonicated
Operation • Remove air bubbles from cavities. Rotate the objects accordingly. Remove air bubbles under inset beakers. The ultrasound is only effective where liquid is in contact with the objects to be sonicated or the inset beaker. • Place the more contaminated side downwards. Place items with joints (e.g., scissors, tongs) in an open state so that the sonication fluid is able to optimally cover the entire surface. -
Page 28: Emptying The Oscillating Tank
Operation 5.10 Emptying the oscillating tank WARNING Danger of electric shock - Disconnect the mains plug before lifting the device. - Do not place the device in a sink to empty it. - Make sure that no liquid can enter the housing. CAUTION Hot sonication liquid and oscillating tank There is a risk of scalding when lifting the device to empty it. -

Page 32: Performing A Foil Test
Maintenance Procedure 1. Fill the oscillating tank with water. 2. Switch on the ultrasound and, if present, the heating, one after the other. Take the power reading. Switch the heating and ultrasound off again. 3. Compare the readings for the nominal power with the technical specifications. See chapter 8.1 Technical specifications. - Page 33 IEC TS 63001:2019. You can download a documentation template here for documenting the test results: https:/ /bandelin.com/folientest/ You will also find an application video there. The foils can also be archived in a suitable manner (as scans, photos, etc.). This makes it possible to compare the foils at any time.
- Page 34 9. Rinse the oscillating tank thoroughly to remove loose foil particles. Suitable foil test frames can be ordered from BANDELIN electronic GmbH & Co. KG. The foil test frames are designed for a wide range of tank dimensions. Aluminium foil is also required for the test procedure;...
