Cleaning the Transducer
The transducer requires no routine maintenance or servicing.
However, if you wish to sterilise or clean the transducer it may be
removed by means of the following procedure:
1. Rotating the turbine transducer anti-clockwise until the
locating pip lines up with the small rectangular cut-out in the
housing as shown below.
2. Gently pull the transducer away from the housing.
3. The transducer may now be immersed in warm soapy water
for routine cleaning or immersed in a cold sterilising solution
e.g. Perasafe for a maximum of 10 minutes (Alcohol and
chloride solutions should be avoided). After
cleaning/sterilising, the transducer should be rinsed briefly in
distilled water and dried. Perasafe is available from CareFusion
in convenient 81g containers, Cat No. 36-ACC1013.
4. Re-assemble the mouthpiece holder.
