How to Clean the ATP Device 1st Shutter
1. Turn off the power switch.
2. Open the front door and pull
out the 1
st
shutter base.
3. Remove the curtain in the 1
st
shutter and clean the shutter
by wiping with a soft, lint free
cloth.
4. Install the curtain and
replace the 1
st
shutter base.
5. Close the front door.
NOTE: In an extreme case, where shutters are very dirty, you may wipe with a soft cloth,
moistened slightly with alcohol, and then wipe off immediately to prevent streaking of pill
dust residue. Alcohol should never be used on the curtains, as it will dry them out.
NOTE: Parata recommends daily cleaning of the ATP Device 1st shutter.
CAUTION: Handle with care when cleaning the 1st shutter. Do not clean the shutter with
excessive force even if it has a lot of medication powder on it. Excessive force may cause
failure in shutter operation. Do not manually force the shutters open.
Proper curtain placement in the shutter is critical to ensure proper pill travel down the pill
path. Mis-aligned curtains can cause a pill dam.
Inspect curtains for dry or curled edges, and call Parata service is this occurs.
