• Should these operating instructions leave any questions unanswered, please contact your specialist dealer or BANDELIN. Notes on service can be found in Chapter 6.5 Repairs. In the event that the translation cannot be understood, the German original version of BANDELIN must be followed.
Instruments must not be placed on the bottom of the oscillating tank. They must be placed in the sonication fluid with a TRISON twist, in a TRISON rack, or in an insert basket with a basket holder. An overview of suitable accessories can be found in Chapter 9 Accessories.

The specifications from the relevant manufacturer provide information about suitability for ultrasonic cleaning. • The TRISON ultrasonic bath is not suitable for cleaning and disinfecting contact lenses. • Sonication of flammable liquids is not permitted in the TRISON ultrasonic bath.
Safety Intended users The TRISON ultrasonic bath is intended for use in health facilities, e.g., in a Central Sterile Services department (CSSD). It is to be used by trained personnel. Operation of the ultrasonic bath does not pose any danger to pregnant women.
• Observe the treatment times recommended by the manufacturer of the ultrasonic agent. Do not leave the ultrasound on for longer than necessary. • Do not reach into the sonication liquid by hand. Remove instruments with the TRISON Twist, the TRISON Rack, the insert basket, or forceps.
Safety Danger due to ultrasound The strong ultrasound in the unit destroys cell structures. If a body part is immersed in the sonication fluid during operation, this can lead to skin damage, but also to internal tissue damage. The fingers' periosteum can become damaged. •...
Safety 2.11 Erosion of the oscillating tank The surface of the oscillating tank is subject to erosion. How quickly this erosion takes place depends on the use of the ultrasonic bath. The erosion leads to leakage points in the oscillating tank. Bath fluid can thus enter the interior of the ultrasonic bath. Moisture on electrical components can cause an electric shock or fire.

Preparing for operation Preparing for operation Presettings (initial commissioning) After switching on the TRISON Base for the first time, you will be automatically guided through the menus for the presettings. Here you can set your preferences, which will then be saved automatically.
Switching off the ultrasonic bath The on/off switch on the generator can remain permanently switched on. It is sufficient to switch the mains switch on or off on the back of the TRISON Base when operation is ongoing. For longer shutdowns, we recommend that you also switch off the mains switch on the generator.

The soaking and cleaning times can be changed. On the home screen, select "Settings". Select "Process data". Enter the password "Bandelin" when prompted. Select "Time". Select the soaking and cleaning time for the robotics programme. Changing settings for cleaning of MIS instruments For MIS instruments, a cleaning time of 15 minutes is preset.
Here, you can switch the key tones on or off or enter the service menu (password- protected). Attaching and removing the TRISON Lift Slide the base of the TRISON Lift backwards in the guide of the base plate until the TRISON Lift clicks into place. Fig. 10 Attaching the TRISON Lift Do not remove the TRISON Lift before the TRISON Twist has been removed.
Attaching the TRISON twist NOTICE - The jack of the TRISON Twist is not waterproof. Make sure that it does not come into contact with the sonication liquid. If the jack does come into contact with liquid, allow the jack to dry completely before plugging it in. You can blast the jack with compressed air.
The ultrasonic agent used must be cavitation conducive, biodegradable, easy to dispose of, material protecting and long-lasting. BANDELIN recommends using the ultrasonic agents STAMMOPUR DR 8 and STAMMOPUR R from DR. H. STAMM GmbH for cleaning. • Telephone advice: +49 30 76880-280 •...
Operation 5.1.2 Filling with sonication fluid CAUTION Risk of scalding - Do not fill the oscillating tank with hot water. - Maximum filling temperature: 50 °C. NOTICE Damage to the ultrasonic bath due to condensate At high humidity, condensation forms on the outside of the oscillating tank when it is filled with cold water.
5.1.4 Testing adapters for MIS instruments Adapter testing is only to be carried out when using the TRISON Rack. To perform, select "Tests" and then "Adapter test". Follow the instructions on the subsequent screens. Testing adapters for MIS instruments The seals in the adapters for MIS instruments are subject to wear as a result of opening, closing and the influence of ultrasound.

Place the TRISON Rack in the oscillating tank so that the adapters are completely immersed in the sonication liquid. Connect the two hose couplings to the TRISON Base. Make sure that the hose couplings click properly into place. On the touchscreen, select the rinsing pipes to be tested.
Close the push handle to fix the Si instrument in place. Plug the rinsing plugs into the Si instruments. Press the plugs on firmly. Grip the TRISON Twist by the handle and swivel it down so that the Si instruments are fully immersed in the sonication liquid.
Plug the rinsing plugs into the Xi instruments and press them on firmly. Grip the TRISON Twist by the handle and swivel it down so that the Xi instruments are fully immersed in the sonication liquid. When cleaning Xi stackers, the TRISON Twist must be standing on the feet of the spacer.
Instrument clogged; cleaning must be repeated. Information Xi stackers can also be cleaned on the TRISON Twist TT 4000 Xi. The Xi spacer is required for this, which must be ordered separately; see chapter 9 Accessories. Click the spacer onto the feet of the TRISON Twist. Due to the larger dimensions, only one Xi stacker can be cleaned at a time.

Open the instrument tips. Place the TRISON Rack in the oscillating tank so that the instruments are completely immersed in the sonication liquid. Connect both hose couplings to the TRISON Base. Make sure that the hose couplings click properly into place.
Place the insert basket on the basket holder in the oscillating tank so that the instruments are immersed in the sonication liquid. Select the "Standard" cleaning programme on the TRISON Base. On the touchscreen, select the sonication duration. Select "START" to start the cleaning programme.
Open the outlet. Select "START" to start emptying. Connect both hose couplings to the TRISON Base and place the rinsing plugs or the adapters and the ends of the return flow hoses loosely in the oscillating tank. Then thoroughly rinse the oscillating tank with water; see Chapter 5.3.2 Rinsing the ultrasonic bath.
