Why Ultrasonic Cleaners Are Necessary Leave a comment

When it comes to providing sterile and safe equipment to use on customers and patients, there’s no room for error. Seeing as how bloodborne pathogens can survive on an object for up to a week, it’s important equipment and surfaces are sterilized between uses. Fortunately, this is easy to do with the right devices. Many industries rely on devices like the Scican Statim 5000 for their sterilization requirements. But ultrasonic cleaners are also becoming a popular choice for sterilization. Let’s take a look at a few differences between Statim autoclaves and ultrasonic cleaners and the importance of each. And if you just want to talk to someone, call our Free Tech Support at 704-966-1650 Option 3.

Ultrasonic Cleaners
Ultrasonic cleaners use high-frequency ultrasound energy to sterilize objects. This energy reaches into cracks, holes, and divots to ensure all amounts of bacteria or germs are effectively removed. Compared to manual cleaning, ultrasonic cleaners are much more efficient in sterilizing contaminated instruments or equipment. This technology is designed to not only remove debris from instruments but remove microorganisms from those hard to reach places. This method of cleaning allows for efficient and powerful removal of any contamination found on instruments and equipment.

Statim Autoclaves
A device like the Statim 5000 consists of a steel chamber that uses steam to sterilize equipment and instruments. The cylindrical chamber is built to withstand extreme pressure, allowing for the pressurized steam to effectively sterilize the objects inside. An autoclave, like the Statim 2000, uses high temperatures of steam for a set amount of time to kill any germs or bacteria residing on the object to complete sterilization. This process cannot be imitated by using boiling water and cleaning projects, making autoclaves a staple in the medical and tattoo industries.

So, what’s the difference between a Statim 5000 and an ultrasonic cleaner? When it comes down to it, both types of devices allow for effective sterilization of instruments and equipment. The main difference between the two is that an autoclave uses high temperatures and steam to remove bacteria and germs while an ultrasonic cleaner uses high-frequency sound waves. Both types of devices are easy and convenient to use and provide satisfactory results. They can even be used together to allow for maximum sterilization.

In the end, both autoclaves and ultrasonic cleaners effectively sterilize equipment. Whether you’re looking to use high-temperature steam or ultrasonic soundwaves, it’s important to use one of these devices to ensure your instruments and equipment are sterilized and ready for use.
