Maintenance
Prior to carrying out this procedure ensure the flame is
extinguished.
Nebuliser Cleaning:
1. If necessary, unscrew the Nebuliser Retaining Clip and remove
the Nebuliser from the Mixing Chamber.
2. Remove the air supply tube and aspiration tubes.
3. Use the Syringe filled with deionised water and a small length of
clean aspiration tube to gently force the deionised water through
the aspiration needle to remove any obstructing materials from
the centre.
4. Gently run the Nebuliser Cleaning Rod through the inside of the
needle taking care not to abrade the inside surface. This should
remove any stubborn deposits.
5. Soak the Nebuliser in a good detergent solution such as the BWB
cleaning agent.
6. When fully clean, rinse the Nebuliser thoroughly with deionised
water. Allow to dry.
7. Re-fit the Nebuliser to the air line.
8. Test the cleaned Nebuliser as above.
9. If problems persist, remove the nebuliser from the instrument
and soak in a detergent solution, de-proteinizing solution, and/or
Decon 90® (2-5% mix with deionised water) overnight.
DO NOT soak the nebuliser in organic solvents or alcohol.
Never attempt to adjust the Nebuliser.
