full line of cleaning solutions and unit accessories which provide
you with the flexibility to efficiently clean instruments, prostheses
and other items.
What is Ultrasonic Cleaning?
Ultrasonic Cleaning is a process created by high frequency sound-
waves. The soundwaves, enhanced by specially formulated clean-
ing solutions, create high energy cavitation. During cavitation,
millions of tiny bubbles form and then collapse or "implode,"
releasing enormous amounts of energy and shock waves which
scour the surface of instruments, appliances and other apparatus
placed in the cleaning solution. This powerful scouring action
reaches into minute crevices which manual brushing cannot
reach. The combination of energy and specially formulated solu-
tions make ultrasonic cleaning the most effective method for
removing gross and microscopic debris.
Intended Use: The Biosonic
intended for cleaning medical instruments by emission of high
frequency soundwaves.

Tank Enclosure:
Note: This Ultrasonic Cleaner must be installed by an experi-
enced equipment manager or licensed contractor. Be sure to
follow local building codes.
Note: Before you begin please read and understand the
safety instructions provided by the manufacturer of the tools
required for installation.
Note: Cables must be installed in the tank assembly prior to
the installing the tank assembly into the countertop. Once
installed, care must be taken in lining up and installing the
other end of the cables to the component box.
1. Select the desired location for the cleaner. You will need
at least 11 inches clear vertical space below the top of the
counter to accommodate the tank enclosure and an addi-
tional 6 inches at the location of the valve for a total of 17
inches. The countertop must be flat and level. Make sure
that you are not selecting a location which will interfere
with drawers or vertical partitions between cabinets.
2. Tape the enclosed template down to the counter top in
the desired location. Make sure that the "front of the
unit" is closest to the user.
3. Drill four (4) 3/8" dia. holes where indicated on the tem-
plate (holes marked "A").
4. Drill four (4) holes either 3/8", 1/2", 3/4", 1" dia. or larg-
er at the four locations marked "B." Select your hole size
based upon the saw you will use in "#5" below.
5. Cut along the "cut line" with a jigsaw or other reciprocat-
ing saw.
6. Clean away dirt or sawdust around the opening, and
remove scrap wood.
7. Place tank enclosure into opening. Be sure that the print-
ed BioSonic logo on the bezel faces the user.
8. Assemble the bearing plates, lock washers and wing nuts to
the tie-down studs (per Detail A).
9. Tighten all the wing nuts a few turns at a time until the
bezel just contacts the counter top. Once the bezel has
contacted the counter top on four sides, back off each
wing nut 1/4 turn.
10. (Optional) Apply a thin bead of clear RTV silicone sealant
between the bezel and counter top.
11. Select a location for the electronics enclosure which will
be conveniently close to the tank enclosure.
Note: Mount control unit so there is access to fuses. Be sure to
leave at least 4 inches between the back and sides of the elec-
tronic control housing and cabinet wall. This will allow for ade-
quate ventilation as well as facilitate the insertion and removal
of power/RF cables. Note that the side of the unit has ventila-
tion louvers. Position the electronics control housing in such a
way that liquids cannot flow into the unit.
12. Four (4) #8 Phillips head wood screws have been included
