High-power ultrasound for reprocessing in clinics and practices

Product catalog summary
Introduction
This document provides comprehensive guidelines on using high-power ultrasound for reprocessing medical instruments, focusing on SONOREX ultrasonic baths for effective disinfection and cleaning.
Ultrasonic Baths for Disinfection and Cleaning
Ultrasonic baths operate at frequencies above 18 kHz to create cavitation, effectively removing contaminants from medical instruments, surpassing manual cleaning by reaching inaccessible areas without causing damage.
Advantages
  • Rapid instrument turnover with a disinfection time of 5 minutes.
  • High cleaning efficacy while being gentle on instruments.
  • Resource-efficient.
Recommendations on Application
Specific cleaning agents like STAMMOPUR DR 8 and STAMMOPUR R are recommended for different instrument types. Proper usage involves direct sonication in insert baskets and thorough rinsing post-cleaning.
Knowledge of Ultrasound
The choice of ultrasonic bath depends on the instrument size and desired features such as heating. Accessories like baskets and lids are essential for optimal cleaning and safety.
Testing and Maintenance
The foil test is used to assess cavitation intensity and distribution. Regular maintenance and correct fluid usage are crucial for optimal performance.
Product Specifications
Details on SONOREX models, including DIGITEC DT, SUPER RK, and ZE series, are provided, highlighting capacity, ultrasonic frequency, and features like heating and safety shut-down.
Accessories
A range of accessories, including lids, insert baskets, and knob mats, enhance the cleaning process and protect instruments.
Conclusion
High-power ultrasound offers efficient and gentle cleaning of medical instruments, with significant advantages over traditional methods. Proper selection and use of ultrasonic baths and accessories ensure effective disinfection and maintenance of instrument integrity.

Oscillations at frequencies above 18 kHz (18,000 oscillations per second) are termed ultrasound. During the tension phase these oscillations cause the gene­ ration of millions of tiny vacuum bubbles in all liquids, which then implode in the compaction...

Which ultrasonic bath should I select? The size of the cleaning object will determine the size of the bath and thus the device type. Basket dimensions must be taken into account when selecting a device. To prevent device overload, it is always better to choose a somewhat larger device. This also results in additional space for other uses. Further important criteria for the decision are the operating controls and the desired design – see following page. For rinsable MIS instruments and complex robotic instruments, ultrasonic baths with additional functions such as rinsing and instrument motion...

Individual instrument examination rather ­ than general testing If different MIS instruments are rinsed at the same time, the rinsing result for the individual instruments cannot be checked. With SONOMIC this problem is solved by means of the innovative channel selector (patent  EP  19 20 797). Only one instrument at a time is released for rinsing, thus permitting individual flow-through monitoring. The minimum flow-through rate is 2 ml/s at 0.8 bar vacuum, otherwise the instrument will be identified as "not rinsable" and so indicated on the touch screen. The determination, classification and...
