a. Instructions:
i. Starting position. Remove the probe from the cassette using the probe removal tool.
ii. Clean the capillary with the cloth soaked in sterilisation fluid.
iii. Under running water take the probe, and gently insert the probe cleaning rod into
the top. Move the rod up and down several times, or until any deposit stops being
forced through the aspiration hole.
iv. Inspect the holes in the probe to ensure they are clear and clean if necessary, using
a pin.
Note: do not use a pin or other such device when the probe is connected to the
cassette. There is a piece of plastic tubing going through it called the capillary - if you
push a sharp item through the holes and through the capillary the system will not
work correctly.
Take particular care to ensure the holes are clear at the small breather hole just up
from the aspiration hole.
