Do ultrasonic cleaners spread germs? by aerosolization by Air? Wear face mask to
prevent respiratory transmission from person to person. The microbial contamination of the counter top around the ultrasonic cleaner was not significantly affected either by the aerosol generated. If the aerosol particles were very small, these bacteria would become part of the room air flora. Ultrasonic cleaners can be safely used and airborne
contamination from this source minimized by daily cleaning of the solution
tank, adding a germicide to the cleaning solution. and placing a cover over
the tank while cleaning is in progress. Not assured at this time. Also see Block, Sterilization, Disinfection and Preservation. Chapter 30 p 676- 4th Edition |
