Description
Key Features
Product Type: Ultrasonic Cleaning Unit
Brand Name: Maxima (a Henry Schein brand)
Capacity: 1.05 Gallons (or 4 Liters)
This size is suitable for cleaning a high volume of small instruments or several instrument cassettes simultaneously.
Heating: No Heat
This unit is a non-heated model, which means it relies solely on the cavitation process (vibration) for cleaning.
Design: Tabletop Unit
Construction: Typically features a durable stainless steel tank and housing designed for frequent use in a professional setting.
Mechanism: Uses high-frequency sound waves (ultrasonics) to create microscopic bubbles (cavitation) in a cleaning solution, which aggressively but safely removes debris from instrument surfaces.
Primary Uses (Application)
The Maxima Ultrasonic Cleaning Unit is primarily used in dental, medical, and laboratory settings for pre-sterilization instrument cleaning.
Instrument Pre-Cleaning: It is used to remove gross debris (blood, tissue, cement, etc.) from reusable surgical and dental instruments before they are placed in an autoclave or other sterilization equipment.
Safety and Effectiveness: Ultrasonic cleaning is considered safer and more effective than manual scrubbing, as it cleans intricate surfaces, hinges, and crevices that brushes cannot easily reach, minimizing the risk of sharps injury to staff.
General Cleaning: It can also be used for cleaning small components, glassware, or other items that require thorough, gentle cleaning.
