Here at Sterilizer Autoclave Solutions, we always continue to highlight the core elements of the ownership process: installation, operation and maintenance. Whether it’s a fancy
new autoclave, an instrument washer, or even the subject of this article, an ultrasonic cleaner… These 3 pillars of the process are vital to ensure that everything runs as it should. Proper instrument processing relies on a rock-solid foundation, and ensuring your ultrasonic cleaner is set up right from day one is critical.
In this article, we’d like to focus on one ultrasonic cleaner in general, the Midmark QuickClean.

Knowing the steps for proper installation helps to mitigate any potential issues from the get go.

Indications for Use
Ultrasonic cleaning by itself is just sound frequencies above what you can hear. Ultrasonic cleaning is performed through a process called cavitation. Cavitation generates millions of bubbles in the solution. These bubbles grow in size and eventually implode. When these bubbles collapse, the fluid surrounding the bubbles collapses with great force creating shock waves upwards of 20,000 pounds per square inch.

A) The counter-top model may be positioned on a table or a counter top and should be positioned within reach of a standard grounded electrical outlet. The label located on the back of the cleaner will identify proper power requirements

Positioning the Ultrasonic – Recessed Model
