III. 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
using either: BioSonic General Purpose Cleaner, BioSonic
Enzymatic Cleaner or BioSonic Germicidal Cleaner into the
tank.
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
CAUTION!
accessory baskets, cassette racks or beaker
holders.
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 indicator 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 the valve and allow solution to
empty into a waste storage container for disposal in
accordance with your local, state and/or federal regula-
tions. Rinse tank and close valve (Fig. 3).
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.
Note: 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 airborne contaminants in the unit.
The BioSonic UC300R 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 limited space
above the unit.
D. Instrument Draining
The UC300R 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)
and allow the solution to drain off instruments.
IV. 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 either:
BioSonic General Purpose Cleaner, BioSonic Enzymatic
Cleaner or BioSonic 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. (Fig. 5) For more
information, see section "V. Accessory Use Directions".
Cassette Cleaning:
Place filled rack into tank containing BioSonic General
Purpose Cleaner, BioSonic Enzymatic Cleaner or BioSonic
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 man-
ufacturer's directions. Suspend the beaker in the tank by
the use of the beaker holder and place the beaker posi-
tioning ring around the beaker so that the bottom 2/3 will
be suspended in the main bath.
V. Accessory Use Directions
A. Large Instrument Basket:
BioSonic UC310 Large FingerGuard Instrument Basket cleans
large volumes of instruments and increases instrument pro-
cessing 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
consuming instrument sorting (Fig. 5). Additional basket
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 instru-
ments across ridges in bottom of basket. 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.
Note: Beaker holder may be used in conjunction with the
large FingerGuard basket (Fig. 6). Remove basket section
inserts seated directly under beakers to provide space for bea-
kers to seat fully. Use caution when removing basket if bea-
kers are left in place.
B. Twin FingerGuard Basket:
The UC311 Twin FingerGuard Baskets provide you with
the versatility of cleaning either two (2) separate basket
loads of instruments or a basket and beaker combination
