2.3 Prevention of cross-contamination and infec-
tion
If the ultrasound bath is used in the medical field, regularly clean
and disinfect the surfaces of the device with a surface disinfectant
that has at least bactericidal, yeasticidal and limited virucidal prop-
erties, in order to avoid cross-contamination. Process accessories
such as holders, carriers or baskets in a cleaning and disinfection
device.
At higher temperatures, vapours and aerosols that are contami-
nated with introduced impurities may escape from the ultrasound
bath. This can lead to infections and disease. When cleaning medi-
cal instruments, avoid bath temperatures above 40 °C. If neces-
sary, use a lid, suction device or protective equipment.
2.4 Keep out of reach of children
Children cannot identify hazards posed by the ultrasound bath.
Therefore, keep the ultrasound bath out of the reach of children.
2.5 Danger of electric shock
The ultrasound bath is an electrical device. Failure to follow safety
rules can result in a life-threatening electric shock.
• Protect the ultrasound bath from moisture and wetness. Keep
the surface and controls clean and dry.
• Only transport the ultrasound bath in empty condition.
• Only drain the ultrasound bath when it is switched off.
• Do not spray or expose the ultrasound bath to splashing water.
• Always disconnect the ultrasound bath from the mains before
cleaning or maintenance.
• Only connect the ultrasound bath to a power outlet with a
grounded socket.
• If you notice a defect in the ultrasound bath, disconnect the
mains plug immediately. Do not connect a defective ultrasound
bath to the mains.
