The turbine transducer requires no routine maintenance or cleaning.
However, should you believe that the transducer needs to be cleaned, it may
be cleaned by the following procedure:
13.1. Remove the transducer by rotating the mouthpiece holder assembly 90°
counterclockwise and gently pulling from the GoSpiro housing.
If you hold the GoSpiro with your right hand, remove transducer following
steps in figure 9:

If you hold the GoSpiro with your left hand, remove transducer following
steps in figure 8:

WARNING: The mouthport filter and/or mouthport adapter must only be used
on a single patient. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for replacement. Use
by more than a single patient can cause transmission of infectious material.
CAUTION: Keep the GoSpiro dry. The limited Ingress Protection (IP22) rating of
the GoSpiro case will not prevent damage from water making contact with case,
leaking into the case and damaging the electronics.
13.2. The transducer may now be immersed in 1 teaspoon of dishwashing
detergent (such as Palmolive) mixed in 3.5 cups of warm water for routine
cleaning for a period not exceeding 10 minutes. (Alcohol and chlorine based
solutions must be avoided.)
13.3. After cleaning, the transducer must be completely rinsed in distilled water
and allowed to air dry.
13.4. Visually check parts to see that they are free of any visible soil or build-up. If
any is seen, repeat the cleaning steps.
13.5. Re-assemble the transducer into the GoSpiro housing by reversing the steps
shown for disassembly.
