An Essential Part of Your Infection Control System. Congratulations on your purchase of a BioSonic Ultrasonic Cleaner - the finest, most efficient and most popular ultrasonic cleaning system in dentistry. Developed specifically for the dental industry, BioSonic units feature unique product design and optimize time and safety in the office or laboratory. BioSonic is a complete ultrasonic cleaning system, with a full line of cleaning solutions and unit accessories, which provides you with the flexibility to efficiently clean instruments, prostheses and other items.
What is Ultrasonic Cleaning? Ultrasonic Cleaning is a process created by high frequency soundwaves. The soundwaves, enhanced by specially formulated cleaning solutions, create high-energy cavitation. During cavitation, millions of tiny bubbles form and then collapse or “implode,” releasing enormous amounts of energy and shock waves which scour the surface of instruments, appliances and other apparatus placed in the cleaning solution. This powerful scouring action reaches into minute crevices, which manual brushing cannot reach. The combination of energy and specially formulated solutions make ultrasonic cleaning the most effective method for removing gross and microscopic debris.
I. Unpacking 1. Remove your BioSonic unit from the shipping container and inspect the unit for any possible damage which may have occurred during shipping. 2. Check the serial number of the unit (found on the underside of the unit) with the number on the shipping carton. If they are not the same contact your dealer. 3. Fill out the warranty card and mail to Coltène/Whaledent within 10 days of receipt. 4. Select your desired location for the cleaner. It should be in close proximity to a sink or waste lines to facilitate ease of draining. The hose supplied with the unit will allow you to place the unit on either side of the sink or connect directly to the waste line.

Note: Never operate the unit without solution.
Note: Baskets are furnished with adjustable
Operating a dry tank may result in permanent damage and will void the warranty. Do not place objects directly on bottom of tank, use accessory baskets, cassette racks or beaker holder.
partitions to keep instrument set-ups separated by user or procedure, eliminating sorting and speeding instrument processing. For more information, see basket accessory directions or basket section insert directions.
3. Plug the line cord into a three-wire grounded AC outlet (or per local regulations).
Cassette Cleaning:
4. To activate the unit, turn the timer to the desired cleaning time. The green LED light will glow when the unit is in operation. Unit will automatically shut off at the end of the cycle. 5. Change the solution in the tank daily, or sooner if it appears soiled or discolored. When beakers are used, change the solution in the beaker after each use. 6. Drain unit by opening valve (Fig. 3) and allow solution to empty into sink or waste system. Rinse tank and close valve. Never drain tank by manually discarding solution as this may cause the unit to stop working properly. B. Degassing Degassing the ultrasonic solution is an important step. Degassing is the removal of large air bubbles found in all fresh solution, which act as a barrier to efficient cleaning.
Degassing is necessary every time new solution is added. Degas the solution by activating the unit for 15 minutes before you add any items to be cleaned. C. Cover The BioSonic Ultrasonic Cleaner should always be covered when operating to trap aerosols in the unit. The BioSonic UC300 is equipped with a “hinged” cover for easy one hand opening. The cover also conveniently lifts off for cleaning or for use in spaces with low cabinets above the unit. D. Instrument Draining The UC300 is equipped with a bezel surrounding the tank. The bezel drains condensation back into the tank keeping the work area around the unit dry. The bezel also acts as a draining stand for the large basket or cassette racks. Simply position the corner of the basket or rack on two of the draining tabs at opposite corners of the tank (Fig. 4, 5) and allow the solution to drain off instruments.
5. Connect one end of the hose to the drain valve (Fig.1) and place the other end in the sink. If desired, have your plumber connect the hose directly to the waste system with the appropriate fittings.

A. In Tank
A. General Cleaning
Basket Cleaning:
1. Fill the unit with warm water to the fill line indicator (Fig. 2). 2. Pour the required amount of ultrasonic cleaning solution (either BioSonic General Purpose, BioSonic Enzymatic or BioSonic Germicidal Cleaner) into the tank.
Place parts to be cleaned into the basket. Then place the basket directly into the main tank containing BioSonic General Purpose, BioSonic Enzymatic or Germicidal Cleaner. Clean according to instructions on bottle label.
Place filled rack (Fig. 6) into tank containing BioSonic General Purpose, BioSonic Enzymatic Cleaner or Germicidal Cleaner. B. In Beaker For specialized item cleaning (e.g. prostheses): Place item into a beaker, add desired cleaning solution (e.g., BioSonic Cement Remover) according to the manufacturer's directions. Suspend the beaker in the tank by the use of the beaker holder and place the beaker positioning ring around the beaker so that the bottom 2/3 will be suspended in the main bath.
IV. Accessory Use Directions A. Large FingerGuard Instrument Basket: BioSonic UC310 Large FingerGuard Instrument Basket cleans large volumes of instruments and increases instrument processing efficiency. The Large FingerGuard Instrument Basket comes with five (5) adjustable Basket Section Inserts to help keep instruments sorted by user or procedure, eliminating time consuming instrument sorting. Additional section inserts are available in packets of two (Cat. No. UC335). Use Directions: The Large FingerGuard Instrument Basket may be used with or without adjustable section inserts. Place instruments across ridges in bottom of basket (Fig. 7). Place basket in tank and clean for desired time. After cleaning, rinse basket and instruments thoroughly under running water. After rinsing, the large FingerGuard basket may be placed on the draining tabs on the bezel for draining (Fig. 8).
Note: Beaker holder may be used in conjunction with large basket (Fig. 9) or twin basket. Remove basket section inserts seated directly under beakers to provide space for beakers to seat fully. Use caution when removing basket if beakers are left in place. B. Twin FingerGuard Basket The UC311 Twin FingerGuard Basket provides you with the versatility of cleaning two basket loads of instruments or basket and beaker cleaning for prostheses (or other small items). Each Twin FingerGuard Basket comes with two (2) basket section Inserts.

Use Directions:
Use Directions:
Place Twin FingerGuard Baskets side by side, or use one basket with beaker holder (Fig. 9,10). Twin FingerGuard Baskets may be used with or without basket section Inserts. Place instruments across ridges in bottom of basket. Place basket in tank and clean for desired time. C. Basket Section Inserts The UC335 basket section inserts keep instruments separated by user and procedure, eliminating sorting. This increases efficiency and reduces the potential for accidental sticks and cuts since instruments are pre-sorted and handled less. Use Directions: Place locking tabs of adjustable inserts into basket holes (as shown in Fig. 11). Inserts can be placed at any desired width along the basket. Place as many basket section inserts as required for your cleaning needs. To remove or adjust position, simply squeeze center tabs to unlock section insert from basket holes. D. Beaker Holder: Place the UC330 beaker holder on bezel. Place beaker positioning rings around the beaker so that at least 2/3 of the beaker is suspended in the main bath (Fig. 9). Clean for desired time. E. Cassette Racks: Your BioSonic UC300 has two instrument cassette racks to choose from:
• UC320 Hu-Friedy IMS1/ Thompson2 Cassette Rack This rack will hold three (3) large or six (6) small cassettes.
Use Directions: Up to three (3) large cassettes may be placed horizontally in each of the three (3) tiers of the rack (Fig. 12). Up to six (6) small cassettes can be placed either horizontally or vertically in the rack (Fig. 13). Place filled rack in tank containing BioSonic General Purpose Cleaner, BioSonic Enzymatic Cleaner or BioSonic Germicidal Cleaner. Once cassettes are cleaned, remove rack from tank and tilt back over tank to drain. Rack has stops on the back to prevent the cassettes from slipping out (Fig. 14). Rinse rack and cassettes on all sides thoroughly under running tap water. Place rack on draining tabs of unit bezel to dry. (See Instrument Draining section for more details.)
• The UC321 for Zirc3 cassettes. This rack holds five (5) Zirc3 Steri-Instrument cassettes or ten (10) Zirc3 or Clive Craig4 instrument boxes.
Place up to five (5) Steri-Instrument cassettes vertically into rack and place rack into tank for cleaning (Fig. 15). For Zirc3 or Clive Craig4 instrument boxes, place horizontally in each of the two (2) lower tiers of the rack. Up to ten (10) instruments boxes may be placed in the rack (Fig. 16). Place rack in tank for cleaning. After cleaning, rinse cassettes in rack thoroughly under running tap water and place on draining tabs of bezel to dry. (See Instrument Draining section for more details.)
• Never drain tank by manually discarding solution as this may cause the unit to stop working properly.
