Ultrasonic Cleaners
Captions available
The idea
An ultrasonic cleaner removes soil using sound waves in liquid, which form and collapse tiny bubbles against the instrument's surfaces.
In practice
The disinfection guideline notes that ultrasound alone does not significantly kill bacteria, and used cleaning solution can be contaminated.
Where people slip
Ultrasonic cleaning loosens soil; it is not disinfection.
