ULTRASONIC TREATMENT APPARATUS

摘要

Disclosed is an ultrasonic treatment apparatus which can achieve the treatment of a part of interest without the need of using any chemical substance. The apparatus comprises: a treatment vessel (11) for including a medium; an ultrasonic element for generating an ultrasonic wave in the treatment vessel (11), irradiating the medium contained in the treatment vessel (11) with the ultrasonic wave, and decomposing water contained in the medium to generate a hydroxy radical; an ultrasonic element-driving circuit for driving the ultrasonic element; and an operation unit (13) for setting a given conditions for sterilization determined based on the amount of the hydroxy radical generated upon the generation of the ultrasonic wave. Since the given conditions for sterilization determined based on the amount of the hydroxy radical generated upon the generation of the ultrasonic wave is set, the sterilizing effect can be remarkably improved.
