BANDELIN SONOMIC MC 1001 E built-in unit

BANDELIN SONOMIC MC 1001 E built-in unit

The SONOMIC ultrasonic unit has been specially developed for the simultaneous disinfection and cleaning of up to 12 rinseable keyhole surgery instruments. SONOMIC is available as compact unit MC 1001 and as built-in unit MC 1001 E.

What's new is that each instrument is disinfected, cleaned and checked separately using an individual adapter and repeated suction rinsing from the distal end. Rinseable keyhole surgery instruments with diameters from 1 mm to 10 mm can be connected using the identical adapters without needing to change the seals. Efficiency of disinfection and cleaning is strongly increased during suction rinsing and during external disinfection through switching on the ultrasound.

The unit is operated by a touch screen on the front panel of the unit, which displays the current working step and the overall result. In the course of a checking procedure included in the cleaning program, each instrument is checked for the unobstructed passage of liquids, and any clogged instruments are identified safely.

Used bathing liquid can be let off quickly and the unit is rapidly emptied completely because the SONOMIC has a inclined tank bottom and is equipped with iwelded drain G ¾ with ball valve.


Functional principle

The instruments are each connected to one of the identical adapters. The innovative rotating principle of the adapter seal guarantees a complete sealing at the external shaft of the instruments. Through repeated suction rinsing, supported by ultrasound at the distal end of the instrument, the contamination will be removed from the lumens of the instruments against the direction of penetration. At the same time, fresh disinfection and cleaning solution flows in. Contamination cannot accumulate on the constrictions e.g. in the area of the handle.

Detached contamination from the instruments is retained in an easily accessible filter.

By means of the channel selector in SONOMIC, always only one instrument will be linked to the sucking pump at a time. The calibrated flow rate sensor enables the system to reliably detect whether the instrument is permeable to the fluid or not. Instruments which are not permeable are thus safely identified and indicated on the touchscreen.

For the simultaneous disinfection and intensive cleaning of instruments after dry deposit supported with ultrasound the disinfection and cleaning solution STAMMOPUR DR 8 is recommended; for an exclusive intensive cleaning use STAMMOPUR R.
For preparing a ready for use liquid use only water with a microbiological quality of at least tap water.

The use of SONOMIC does not replace the need for a systematic cold rinsing before and a thorough rinsing, drying, functional control and, if necessary, sterilisation after the treatment.

• SONOMIC saves time through simple connection of instruments with diameters from 1 mm to 10 mm to the identical adapters. EU patent pending.
• High degree of protection for users and patients through clear indication of ability to through rinsing for each of the instruments connected. Instruments which are not continuous are reliably identified and individually indicated.
• Prevention of instrument repair and replacement resulting from poor through flow or blockages through regular removal of any penetrating contamination.
• In addition to disinfection and cleaning of rinseable keyhole surgery instruments, cleanable parts of other instruments (1 mm to 10 mm) or other medical instruments, such as scissors and forceps (placed loose in the basket) can also be disinfected and cleaned.
• Simple and safe operation through a process orientated user guide with clear instructions, status messages and help system.
• Reduced costs through time savings and reductions in repair and replacement costs.
