Cleaning surgical instruments in the medical industry is often a compromise. The ultimate goal of infection prevention activities are to minimize the risk of infection before it can happen. Reusable surgical tools must be thoroughly cleaned and decontaminated before they can be successfully sterilized.
These reprocessing steps are crucial. Therefore the capabilities, quality and performance of reprocessing equipment such as washer disinfectors are critical for patient safety. By automating the cleaning cycles, our MED device guarantees that these crucial steps are performed correctly. Procedure after procedure. With thoroughly, yet safely cleaned instruments as a result.
ULTRASONIC CLEANING
Sending ultrasonic waves through the cleaning solution generates hundreds of thousands of small bubbles, induced by high frequency pressure, that grow until they implode. The local cavitations resulting from these implosions function like micro-scrubbers that virtually tear impurities off surfaces.
Since little bubbles are all that implode, this type of cleaning is completely scratch-free and reaches even the smallest cavities that would be impossible to reach by hand or with spray nozzle. All traces of contamination tightly adhering or embedded onto solid surfaces are removed.
Ultrasonic cleaning can be used for a wide range of workpiece shapes, sizes and materials, and may not require the part to be disassembled prior to cleaning.
Objects must not be allowed to rest on the bottom of the device during the cleaning process, because that will prevent cavitation from taking place on the part of the object not in contact with solvent.
DIFFERENCES
Our main goal is to constantly challenge today’s cleaning technologies. Therefore we have improved the traditional ultrasonic cleaning – which hasn’t seen much development over the past 50 years – with new approaches such as frequency modulation, automated degassing, sweeping and skimming.
UltraZonic’s cleaning technology is fast, gentle and extremely powerful. Microscopic cavitation bubbles and specially formulated eco-friendly solutions seek out every crease and crevice, eliminating stubborn or difficult-to-reach contaminants in the process.
UNIQUE 3D APPROACH
What distinguishes our device from a classic ultrasonic cleaner, apart from the exquisite design, is the patented ultrasonic tank which is equipped with triple-side irradiation. An intensive ultrasonic field is generated like never-seen-before. Extremely efficient and powerful electronics and transducers coupling to ultrasonic bath.
This approach minimizes standing waves and ensures an almost homogeneous ultrasound intensity distribution (no dead zones, no standing waves, no spray shadows). All sides of the instruments are reached by the powerful ultrasonic waves.
