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.
2.3 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. Reprocess
accessories like holders, carriers or baskets in a washer-disinfector
(WD).
At higher working temperatures, vapours and aerosols that are
contaminated with impurities from the goods to be treated can rise
from the ultrasonic bath. This can cause infections and illness.
When cleaning medical instruments, avoid bath temperatures
above 40°C. If necessary, use a lid, an extraction system or protec-
tive equipment.
2.4 Keep away from children
Children cannot see the dangers related to the ultrasonic bath.
Therefore, keep children away from the ultrasonic bath.
