Looking after your MicroDL Spirometer
Please observe the following precautions:
* Avoid exposing the MicroDL to direct sunlight.
* Avoid operating the spirometer in dusty conditions or near to
heating appliances or radiators.
* Do not keep the spirometer in a damp place or expose it to
extremes of temperature.
* Do not direct the transducer holder towards a strong light
source whilst operating the spirometer.
Cleaning the Transducer
The transducer requires no routine maintenance or servicing.
However, if you wish to sterilise or clean the transducer it may be
removed by means of the following procedure:
1. Remove the transducer by gently pulling from the main
body with a twisting action.
2. The transducer may now be immersed in warm soapy water for
routine cleaning or immersed in cold sterilising 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 CareFusion in convenient 81g plastic
bottles, Cat No. 36-SSC5000A.
3. Re-assemble the transducer into the MicroDL.
