Periodic testing and validation 

It is a requirement of decontamination guidelines that the 

Hygea 2850VM

 ultrasonic 

bath is periodically tested and validated to ensure optimum performance as outlined in 
HTM01-05 and HTM2030. 
 

The following pages outline Ultrawave (the manufacturer’s) guidelines for the periodic 

testing of the 

Hygea 2850VM

 ultrasonic bath. The frequency and nature of these tests 

are recommended as the minimum protocols that should be followed in order to ensure 

optimum  performance  of  the  bath  and  to  adhere  to  applicable  regulations  and 

guidelines. In some cases, more frequent testing schedules may be stipulated. 
 

1.

 

Weekly tests 

(carried out by the operator)

 

Cleaning efficacy test using the Brownes STF Load Check Indicator strips and holders 

(available from Ultrawave). 
 

2.   Monthly tests 

(carried out by the operator) 

Ultrasonic  activity  test  using  the  Hygea  Ultrasonic  Energy  Meter  (available  from 
Ultrawave). If there is no access to the Energy Meter, this test should be replaced by 

the aluminium foil ablation test. 
 

3.   Quarterly tests

 (carried out by the operator/Estates department) 

Ultrasonic activity test using the aluminium foil ablation test (available from Ultrawave). 
 

4.    Annual Validation Tests

 (carried out by Ultrawave approved engineer) 

 
A combination of tests ensuring correct and accurate operation of all components of the 

Hygea 2850VM

 (including automatic control tests, cleaning efficacy, ultrasonic activity 

tests, electrical safety test, diagnostic test etc.) 
Note: Each test should also include the test(s) itemised above as the less frequent tests. 
Eg. When conducting the quarterly test, the weekly and monthly tests should also be 

carried out as part of the same routine.
