This Standard specifies requirements for ultrasonic cleaners with a cleaning solution capacity of more than 30 L, which are intended to clean reusable medical and surgical equipment used in health care facilities.NOTES:1 Some ultrasonic cleaners are specifically designed for the cleaning of endoscopes. Where the machine is to be used to clean fibre optics or other specialized equipment, the manufacturer of that equipment should be consulted for advice as to its suitability for the ultrasonic cleaning process.2 Ultrasonic cleaners may be incorporated into a system that includes a rinsing stage and a drying stage.3 Guidance on information that should be supplied with enquiries and orders is given in Appendix A.4 Guidance on the use of ultrasonic cleaners is given in Appendix B.5 Standards for machines that wash, sterilize or dry medical equipment in health care facilities are listed in Appendix C.
