INTRODUCTION

Principles of ultrasonic cleaning:
Millions of tiny air bubbles are generated inside the liquid by high frequency vibration.
The air bubbles implode inside the liquid and blast off the debris to achieve the cleaning effect.

DS180 ultrasonic denture/aligner/retainer cleaner is designed to clean dentures, partials, aligners, retainers including Invisalign®, dental and sleep apnea appliances, and mouth guards. The term denture or retainer used in the manual represents any of these items.

Ultrasonic cleaners use an ultrasonic transducer to generate ultrasound at very high frequency (36,000 to 41,000 Hz full wave sweeping frequency for model DS180). The ultrasound wave generates cavitations (millions of tiny invisible air bubbles) which implode and blast off debris from the items submerged in the liquid. Ultrasound waves reach inside complex structures, crevices and deep holes in addition to outside surfaces. In a simple analogy, it acts similar to a brush but reaches places unreachable by a brush.

DS 180 uses separately-excited circuitry and it is different from most ultrasonic cleaners on the market. It is quieter and water appears to be calm. Ultrasound will pick up once the items to be cleaned are loaded in the water. Also make sure to add water to between the MIN and MAX lines in the tank, and add proper solution to ensure strong cavitation.

DS180 cleans dentures, aligners, retainers, other dental and sleep apnea appliances effectively by removing debris with tap water or solutions. It maintains dentures and other appliances in a clean and refreshed condition and avoids calcium and other types of buildup. It is gentle yet thorough. Using an ultrasonic denture cleaner can also avoid costly damages to dental appliances by brushing them manually with too much force.

If dental appliances have been used for extended period of time without proper care, stains from tobacco, coffee and wine, calculus and other types of buildup likely exist on them already. iSonic® White Multrasonic denture / aligner/retainer / night guard cleaning crystal should be added. Combined together, they can remove the toughest stains in 15 minutes, and it will disinfect too. Buildups are more difficult to remove but still can be removed with iSonic White™ used in DS180. For daily and mild cleaning of dear aligners, retainers including Invisalign®, dentures, other dental or sleep apnea appliances, mouth guards, or to kill odor and bacteria, use iSonic AlignerClean” denture / aligner / retainer / night guard cleaning tablet. iSonic White™ can also be used with reduced concentration for mild/daily cleaning. Be careful do not run it more than 15 minutes or 3 cycles continuously to avoid overheating.

Comparing to our popular model F3900, DS180’s tank is bigger and fits regular sized dental and sleep apnea appliances. It also has 25% more power, plus full wave ultrasound vs. half wave ultrasound. Therefore its cleaning efficiency is more than doubled than F3900. It is more portable with a detachable DC adapter. It also uses AC100-240V which can be used worldwide. An optional rechargeable battery pack makes it cordless and even more portable.

CLEANING METHODS

Daily Cleaning
Use tap water and add iSonic AlignerClean™ to clean, to remove odor and to kill bacteria. For people who are sensitive to chemicals, especially persulfate, use iSonic NaturalKlean™ #CTNK01.

Caution: Do not use chilling cold water or hot water. Use room temperature or lukewarm water.

1. Add water to the cleaning tank between MIN and MAX, and above the area to be cleaned. Do not allow water level rise above MAX line after adding the items.
2. Add half or one tablet of iSonic AlignerClean™ or 1 or 2 tablets of #CTNK01 in the water. iSonic White™ cleaning crystal can also be used with reduced concentration (1/4 teaspoon) for daily/mild cleaning as well.
3. Put items to be cleaned inside the tank..
4. Touch the power switch twice to start cleaning. The unit will stop running automatically after 5 minutes.
5. Rinse the items thoroughly under running water.

To remove stains or buildups

Add iSonic White cleaning crystal in the water to help remove stains, calculus and other types of buildup, and to disinfect.

1. Add water same as in 1.

2. Add half teaspoon of iSonic White™ cleaning crystal.

3. Put the items in the tank.

4. Touch the power switch twice to start cleaning. The unit will stop running automaticall after 5 minutes. Touch the power switch twice again if additional time is needed.
   Caution: Do not run it continuously for more than 3 cycles. Take breaks in between will help to avoid overheating.

5. Use mouth washing liquid in the tank to clean the items with one cycle will help to remove the trace of taste of chemicals if desired.

6. Rinse the item under running water thoroughly to remove the solution.

To ensure strong cavitation:

1. Make sure water level is between MIN and MAX lines.
2. Add cleaning crystal or tablet (or jewelry solution if it’s for jewelry).
3. If fresh tap water is used and cavitation is not strong, run it a couple of cycles first or let it sit for one hour or more, or use bottle water instead.

Note: Use an appropriate solution for the job.
minutes, it usually indicates that the solution is not appropriate for the task. To remove stains, for instance, an effective solution must be used. Running with water alone will never remove stains. An ineffective solution or tablet will also not be able to remove stains quickly.
Jewelry typically has lotions and human oil but water doesn’t separate oily substances well. An appropriate solution will render a better result. iSonic Jewelry / Eye Wear cleaning solution concentrate (#CSGJ01) will make diamonds and other jewelry sparkling clean.

OPERATION GUIDELINES

Denture and other dental, sleep appliances can be placed directly in the tank. Aligners or retainers can be placed on the strainer. The strainer can be attached to the lid so items can be retrieved easily without dipping fingers in the solution.

Stainless steel strainer absorbs about 10% of the ultrasonic energy but it will have friction with jewelry. Plastic strainer absorbs about 30% of the ultrasonic energy. It will reduce the friction to jewelry but it will also reduce cleaning efficiency. Do not tighten the lid to avoid it being stuck when the threads are crossed.

To dean jewelry, it’s better to use the jewelry hanger.

Add water in the tank to a level between “MIN-” and “MAX-” lines. Add iSonic White™ (#CSDW01) or AlignerClean™ (#CTAR01) for denture, other dental or sleep apnea appliances, depending what is being cleaned and the conditions as explained earlier. To clean jewelry, add iSonic® Jewerly / Eye Wear Cleaning Solution Concentrate (#CSGJ01).

Running the unit without water in the tank will damage the unit. Make sure to add water between MIN and MAX lines as the control circuitry is sensitive to the water level. Also the circuitry may need some learning time about the load.

Plug the power adapter into an outlet. Plug the end into the DC socket 7 Touch key twice, indicator light 5 illuminates. Cleaning is underway.

Note: You’ll hear buzzing sound which is normal.

To repeat cleaning, touch twice again.
To stop deaning during running, touch twice. The indicator light dims.
The unit has 5-minute auto shutoff. It will stop running once 5 minutes are over.

When cleaning ends, unplug the power cord, remove the lid. Remove the strainer along with the lid or the items directly if the strainer is not used. Empty water from the tank. Avoid getting water into the DC socket, the power switches and the indicator lights. Pour water out towards the left side (with the Start/Stop switch facing the operator) and pour it quickly so water will not drip over the housing. Wipe the tank and the housing dry with a paper towel or doth.

Avoid getting water in the power socket. It is open to the inside and is vulnerable to water damage.

OPTIONAL ACCESSORY: USING THE RECHARGEABLE BATTERY PACK
