How to Maintain an Ultrasonic Cleaner



Ultrasonic cleaners provide high quality cleaning at a low price. Ultrasonic cleaners come in the form of heated tanks, tabletop cleaners and with manual or digital timers. Size varies depending on need. Read on to learn how to maintain an ultrasonic cleaner.







Things You'll Need:





Soft cloths



Degassing cleaner









Step
1



Achieve high quality cavitation with a perforated or mesh tray. It is important not to place instruments on the bottom surface of the cleaner. Damage to the cleaner can occur.




Step
2



Find a cleaner that contains a degassing feature. The gas from the liquid used to clean instruments expels gas.




Step
3



Utilize the bubbles that form along the walls of the cleaner to clean the ultrasonic cleaner.




Step
4



Create a vacuum with the degassing cleanser. The vacuum acts as a suction device against the inner surface of the cleaner and aids in the removal of gases.




Step
5



Examine the transducers at the surface bottom of the ultrasonic cleaner regularly. The transducers emit the high-frequency sound waves in the cleaning chamber.




Step
6



Purchase soft cloths for maintenance of the ultrasonic cleaner. Do not use these cloths for any other purpose. Wash them separately.




Step
7



Investigate all wires for shorts or exposure. Report any dents, warn areas or abrasions to the manufacturer as soon as possible. The key to high quality sterile cleaning is maintenance.

Do not place items on the bottom surface of the ultrasonic cleaner.
