Do not allow to freeze.30 Sonocheck test vials per box18 months from date of manufacture. See package label for expiration date.Instructions for Using ProductDescription of Use (s)To test for the presence of cavitation energy inside of an ultrasonic bath. May be used forqualification testing after initial installation and after major repair, as well as for routinetesting to insure proper performance.Preparation for Use 1. Prepare a bath of cleaning solution (water and detergent) in compliance withinstructions for use by the sonic manufacturer and the detergent manufacturer.2. De-gas the bath in accordance with ultrasonic manufacturer’s instructions.3. Insure that the bath is within the proper temperature range as provided by the detergentmanufacturer.Diagrams (drawings, pictures): Small Tank Medium Tank Large Tankxxxxxx x xx x xx x xFigure 1 (Qualification Testing)x x x xx x x xx x x xSmall Tank Medium Tank Large Tankx x x x x xFigure 2 (Routine Testing)Steps for Use of ProductFigure 3 (color change)Qualification Testing:1. Select the appropriate number of SonoCheck TM vials and as depicted in Figure 1 tochoose the layout that matches the size of the equipment to be tested.2. Place the SonoChecks as indicated in Figure 1 in an empty ultrasonic basket and placethe basket in the ultrasonic cleaner. Alternatively, refer to the ultrasonic manufacturer’sinstructions to locate individual transducers if each transducer is to be tested.3. Run the equipment as directed by the ultrasonic manufacturer and record the testresults on the “Function Log Book” provided.4. All SonoChecks should change from blue/green to yellow (see Figure 3). The timeneeded for the color change will indicate the level of energy and degree of cavitationprovided by the ultrasonic cleaner. A change slower than average will indicate a weak spot. A negative result will indicate a blind spot of ultrasonic energy.5. In case of an unsatisfactory result, refer to the SonoCheck TM troubleshooting guide.Routine Testing:1. Select the appropriate number of SonoCheck TM vials and as depicted in Figure 2 tochoose the layout that matches the size of the equipment to be tested.
