Owner's Guide
An Essential Part of Your Infection
Control System.
Congratulations on your purchase of a BioSonic
Ultrasonic Cleaner - the finest, most efficient
and most popular ultrasonic cleaning system in
dentistry.
Developed specifically for the dental industry,
BioSonic units feature unique product design
and optimize time and safety in the office or
laboratory.
BioSonic is a complete ultrasonic cleaning
system, with a full line of cleaning solutions and
unit accessories, which provides 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 soundwaves. The soundwaves,
enhanced by specially formulated cleaning
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 solutions make ultrasonic
cleaning the most effective method for removing
gross and microscopic debris.
I. Unpacking
1. Remove your BioSonic unit from the shipping
container and inspect the unit for any
possible damage which may have occurred
during shipping.
2. Check the serial number of the unit (found on
the underside of the unit) with the number on
the shipping carton. If they are not the same
contact your dealer.
3. Fill out the warranty card and mail to
Coltène/Whaledent within 10 days of receipt.
4. Select your desired location for the cleaner. It
should be in close proximity to a sink or
waste lines to facilitate ease of draining. The
hose supplied with the unit will allow you to
place the unit on either side of the sink or
connect directly to the waste line.
5. Connect one end of the hose to the drain
valve (Fig.1) and place the other end in the
sink. If desired, have your plumber connect
the hose directly to the waste system with the
appropriate fittings.
II. Operating Instructions
A. General Cleaning
1. Fill the unit with warm water to the fill line
indicator (Fig. 2).
2. Pour the required amount of ultrasonic
cleaning solution (either BioSonic General
Purpose, BioSonic Enzymatic or BioSonic
Germicidal Cleaner) into the tank.
Note:
Never operate the unit without solution.
Operating a dry tank may result in permanent
damage and will void the warranty. Do not place
objects directly on bottom of tank, use
accessory baskets, cassette racks or beaker
holder.
3. Plug the line cord into a three-wire grounded
AC outlet (or per local regulations).
4. To activate the unit, turn the timer to the
desired cleaning time. The green LED light
will glow when the unit is in operation. Unit
will automatically shut off at the end of the
cycle.
5. Change the solution in the tank daily, or
sooner if it appears soiled or discolored.
When beakers are used, change the solution
in the beaker after each use.
6. Drain unit by opening valve (Fig. 3) and allow
solution to empty into sink or waste system.
Rinse tank and close valve. Never drain tank
by manually discarding solution as this may
cause the unit to stop working properly.
B. Degassing
Degassing the ultrasonic solution is an
important step. Degassing is the removal of
large air bubbles found in all fresh solution,
which act as a barrier to efficient cleaning.
Degassing is necessary every time new
solution is added.
Degas the solution by activating the unit for 15
minutes before you add any items to be
cleaned.
C. Cover
The BioSonic Ultrasonic Cleaner should
always be covered when operating to trap
aerosols in the unit. The BioSonic UC300 is
equipped with a "hinged" cover for easy one
hand opening. The cover also conveniently
lifts off for cleaning or for use in spaces with
low cabinets above the unit.
D. Instrument Draining
The UC300 is equipped with a bezel
surrounding the tank. The bezel drains
condensation back into the tank keeping the
work area around the unit dry. The bezel also
acts as a draining stand for the large basket
or cassette racks. Simply position the corner
of the basket or rack on two of the draining
tabs at opposite corners of the tank (Fig. 4, 5)
and allow the solution to drain off
instruments.
III. Cleaning Methods
A. In Tank
Basket Cleaning:
Place parts to be cleaned into the basket.
Then place the basket directly into the main
tank containing BioSonic General Purpose,
BioSonic Enzymatic or Germicidal Cleaner.
Clean according to instructions on bottle
label.
Note:
Baskets are furnished with adjustable
partitions to keep instrument set-ups separated
by user or procedure, eliminating sorting and
speeding instrument processing. For more
information, see basket accessory directions or
basket section insert directions.
Cassette Cleaning:
Place filled rack (Fig. 6) into tank containing
BioSonic General Purpose, BioSonic
Enzymatic Cleaner or Germicidal Cleaner.
B. In Beaker
For specialized item cleaning (e.g.
prostheses):
Place item into a beaker, add desired
cleaning solution (e.g., BioSonic Cement
Remover) according to the manufacturer's
directions. Suspend the beaker in the tank by
the use of the beaker holder and place the
beaker positioning ring around the beaker so
that the bottom 2/3 will be suspended in the
main bath.
IV. Accessory Use Directions
A. Large FingerGuard Instrument Basket:
BioSonic UC310 Large FingerGuard
Instrument Basket cleans large volumes of
instruments and increases instrument
processing efficiency.
The Large FingerGuard Instrument Basket
comes with five (5) adjustable Basket Section
Inserts to help keep instruments sorted by
user or procedure, eliminating time con-
suming instrument sorting. Additional section
inserts are available in packets of two (Cat.
No. UC335).
Use Directions:
The Large FingerGuard Instrument Basket
may be used with or without adjustable
section inserts. Place instruments across
ridges in bottom of basket (Fig. 7). Place
basket in tank and clean for desired time.
After cleaning, rinse basket and instruments
thoroughly under running water. After rinsing,
the large FingerGuard basket may be placed
on the draining tabs on the bezel for draining
(Fig. 8).
Note:
Beaker holder may be used in
conjunction with large basket (Fig. 9) or twin
basket. Remove basket section inserts seated
directly under beakers to provide space for
beakers to seat fully. Use caution when
removing basket if beakers are left in place.
B. Twin FingerGuard Basket
The UC311 Twin FingerGuard Basket
provides you with the versatility of cleaning
two basket loads of instruments or basket
and beaker cleaning for prostheses (or other
small items). Each Twin FingerGuard Basket
comes with two (2) basket section Inserts.
