Product Overview
Each OK-Sonic™ Ultrasonic Bath Monitor consists of two blue protein mixture soil spots adhered on a plastic substrate. These indicator soils do not contain any natural blood and have no risk of contaminating the cleaning chamber and its content. At the same time, the stain mixture contains organic compounds normally present on medical instruments and devices after use with patients.
When placed in an ultrasonic cleaner, the blue soil is slowly removed by cavitation in the cleaning bath. Presence of detergent and pre-soaking phase expedite this process. The soil spots wash off completely from the substrate when exposed to sufficient cleaning cycle parameters. The purpose of the two indicator spots is to represent open surfaces and difficult-to-clean parts of instruments. Both indicators soil spots have identical composition, and are designed to be used with the monitor holder, which has one open and one covered side. The holder acts as a process challenge device, which covers indicator stain on one side of monitor strip while leaving the other stain spot fully exposed. The covered stain simulates conditions that are challenging for cleaning. The open stain area simulates full exposure to cleaning cycle parameters inside ultrasonic cleaner basket where the OK-Sonic™ monitor is placed.
Holder sold separately.
