STERIS Caviwave Sonic Cleaner User manual

CAVIWAVE ULTRASONIC CLEANING SYSTEM

APPLICATION

The Caviwave Sonic Cleaner is designed to
thoroughly wash (remove tissue, blood and other
contaminants) instruments prior to final
disinfection and sterilization. The Caviwave
Ultrasonic System’s compact design makes it
suitable for use in the Operating Room, Central
Supply or other high volume area to process pre­cleaned instruments.

DESCRIPTION

The Caviwave Ultrasonic Cleaning System Sonic
Cleaner is a freestanding instrument washer
supplied in a compact stainless-steel cabinet. The
Sonic Cleaner contains all needed components to
effectively clean (utilizing ultrasonic cavitation
passing through a detergent-balanced wash
solution) surgical instruments prior to disinfection
and sterilization.

The Sonic Cleaner is equipped with an automatic
opening lid and load elevator for easy and safe
instrument loading.

The Caviwave Ultrasonic Cleaning System Sonic Cleaner is wired
for operation on either 208 V (60 Hz, three phase or single phase),
or 240 V, 60 Hz, single phase voltage. Unit can be configured for
single phase. STERIS supplies all components necessary to obtain
a complete working unit ready for (but not including) installation and
connection to facility service lines. The Sonic Cleaner includes the
following features:

Optimum Ultrasonic Cleaning Power is ensured by constant
power output generators operating at 132 kHz and complemented
with complex resonance frequencies to ensure lock-box cleaning
efficiency. The generators are mounted with individual slide out
modules for ease of service. Also, patented ceramically-enhanced
transducer modules are bonded to the wash tank providing
maximum energy transmission for instrument cleaning.

Automatic Lid and E-Z Load Tray Elevator improve safety and
increase instrument loading ease. E-Z Load Tray Elevator is
positioned at a convenient working height and is oriented laterally
for ease of loading heavy instrument trays.

Port Flushing System processes up to six rigid lumened surgical
devices with both ultrasonic energy and internal flushing.
