17.2 Cleaning and Sterilization
Remove the flow sensor connecting cable before any cleaning, disinfection or
sterilisation.
Rinse the sensor body immediately after use and put it into a disinfectant
(recommended by the infection control authority of the hospital / organisation),
otherwise the sensor will encrust and cannot be used any more.
Warning: Do not clean the flow sensor with compressed air or water jet. As
this will destroy the sensor wires.
