Cleaning the Transducer
The transducer requires no routine maintenance or servicing.
However, if you wish to sterilize 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 sterilizing solution
e.g. Perasafe (Cat No. 36-SSC5000A) for a maximum of 10
minutes (Alcohol and chloride solutions should be avoided).
4. After cleaning/sterilizing, the transducer should be rinsed
briefly in distilled water and dried.
5. Re-assemble the mouthpiece holder.
