Owner's Guide
An Essential Part of Your Infection
Control System
Congratulations on your purchase of a
BioSonic Ultrasonic Cleaner- the finest,
®
most efficient and most popular ultrasonic
cleaning system in dentistry.
Developed specifically for the dental
industry, BioSonic units feature unique
product design to optimize time and safety
in the office or laboratory.
BioSonic is a total ultrasonic cleaning system,
with a full line of cleaning solutions and
unit accessories which provide you with the
flexibility to efficiently clean instruments,
prostheses and other appliances.
What is Ultrasonic Cleaning?
Ultrasonic Cleaning is a process created
by high frequency soundwaves. The
soundwaves, enhanced
formulated cleaning solutions, create
high energy cavitation. During cavitation,
millions of tiny bubbles form and then
collapse or "implode," releasing enormous
amounts of energy and shock waves which
scour the surface of instruments, appliances
and other devices placed in the cleaning
solution. This powerful scouring action
reaches into minute crevices, which manual
brushing cannot reach. The combination of
energy and specially formulated solutions
make ultrasonic cleaning the most effective
method for removing gross and microscopic
debris.
Intended Use: The Biosonic ® UC125
Ultrasonic Cleaner is intended for cleaning
medical instruments by the emission of
high frequency soundwaves.
