How Ultrasonics Effectively Clean Medical Components Made of Different Materials

February 7, 2023

When medical components are cleaned using ultrasonics, the ultrasonic frequency of the cleaning system needs to be chosen carefully. Using the right ultrasonic frequency depends on the materials that make up the medical device. Higher frequencies deliver gentle cleaning action for soft or coated materials, and low frequencies provide rapid removal of heavy contamination on […]

How Custom-Designed Ultrasonic Cleaners Meet Medical Industry Needs

December 6, 2022

While medical devices must be cleaned to high standards, many conventional cleaning methods can’t be used in a medical environment. Cleaning with aggressive chemicals is unacceptable, and high-power cleaning methods such as pressure washing are likewise unsuitable. New cleaning methods are needed for sophisticated modern devices that incorporate sensors, screens, probes, and optical fibers. In […]

How Ultrasonics Are Used to Clean Stainless-Steel Medical Devices

March 23, 2022

Because stainless steel is strong, smooth, and impervious to corrosion or organic contaminants, it is used in many medical devices. Such devices still have to be cleaned before use because of possible surface contamination. Ultrasonics can clean stainless steel medical devices quickly and completely, but choosing the right medical ultrasonic cleaner for the specific cleaning […]

How Ultrasonic Cleaners Are Used in Medical Device Manufacturing

November 17, 2021

When medical equipment manufacturers assemble medical devices, they have to be sure that the components don’t introduce contamination into the finished product. Such contamination can include shop dirt, manufacturing residue, or metallic contamination from machining. The cleanliness of sub-supplier parts introduces additional uncertainty. When all components are cleaned prior to final assembly, medical device manufacturers […]

Why Medical Manufacturers are Using Ultrasonic Cleaners

August 6, 2021

Because new technologies have made medical devices harder to clean, medical manufacturers have to explore better ways to clean and sterilize medical equipment. High-pressure steam cleaning and autoclave sterilizing can’t be used for devices that include electronics or other heat-sensitive components. Manual scrubbing traditionally used to remove heavy contamination can scratch fragile optical parts and […]

Guidelines for Using Ultrasonic Cleaners to Clean Surgical Instruments

June 22, 2021

When surgical tools and instruments are difficult to clean and sterilize with traditional methods, ultrasonic cleaners can deliver excellent cleaning and sterilizing performance. Some instruments, such as laparoscopes used in minimally invasive surgery, may have heat-sensitive components and can’t be sterilized in an autoclave. Instruments may have complex shapes with areas impossible to reach with […]

Using Ultrasonic Cleaners to Provide an Effective Sterilization Process

June 8, 2021

Medical instruments, devices, and equipment designed for repeated use have to be cleaned and sterilized after each patient. Traditional cleaning has consisted of manual scrubbing and wiping together with steam cleaning. Sterilization then takes place at high temperatures in an autoclave. Modern medical equipment often includes electronics and other heat-sensitive components. Instruments may have interior […]

Why Ultrasonic Cleaners Are Essential to Medical Manufacturers

May 19, 2021

Because some modern medical equipment incorporates sensitive components such as electronics, sensors and optical fiber, traditional cleaning and sterilizing methods often can’t be used. Heavy contamination is removed with manual scrubbing and devices such as autoclaves use high-temperature steam to sterilize medical equipment. Sensors and delicate objects such as optical devices are easily scratched when […]

Ultrasonics Clean Semiconductor Components for Heart Pacemakers

April 6, 2021

Implants used in medical procedures are subject to extremely high standards of cleanliness and sterilization. Traditional cleaning methods including cleaning by hand, using parts washers and steam sterilization are often not effective for implants that include new technology. Semiconductor components are often fragile and heat-sensitive. They could be damaged from chemical cleaning methods or excess […]
