Cleaning the Transducer
The transducer requires no routine maintenance or servicing.
To sterilize or clean the transducer it may be removed by means of
the following procedure:
1
Remove the transducer by gently rotating the transducer
anti-clockwise and then pulling from the main body.
2
The transducer may now be immersed in warm soapy water
for routine cleaning or immersed in cold sterilizing solutions
e.g. Perasafe for a period not exceeding 10 minutes. (Alcohol
and chloride solutions should be avoided.) After cleaning/
sterilising, the transducer should be rinsed in distilled water
and dried. Perasafe is available from Vyaire in convenient
81g plastic bottles, Cat No. 36-SSC5000A.
3
Re-assemble the transducer into the Micro I.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to wash or immerse the spirometer
or accessories in water or cleaning fluid, as there are electronic
components inside that will be permanently damaged.
