5.1 Preparing for ultrasonic cleaning
5.1.1 Sonication fluid
A solution of water and a special ultrasound preparation is used as the sonication
fluid. Drinking water or demineralised water (DI water) can be used as water.
Water without additives is not suited for sonication. Use of demineralised water
without an ultrasound preparation will lead to increased erosion of the oscillating
tank.
Do not leave the instruments in the sonication fluid for too long after cleaning.
This can damage the instruments.
The ultrasound preparation used must be cavitation-conducive, biodegradable,
easy to dispose of, gentle to materials, and long-lasting.
BANDELIN recommends the use of an enzymatic ultrasound preparation accord-
ing to the specifications of the instrument manufacturer, for
cleaning of the
robotic instruments
.
For the
cleaning of rinsable MIS instruments
, BANDELIN recommends use of the
ultrasound preparations STAMMOPUR?DR?8 and STAMMOPUR?R by
DR. H. STAMM GmbH.
