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. 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 cold sterilising solutions e.g.
Perasafe for a maximum of 10 minutes (Alcohol and chloride
solutions should be avoided). After cleaning/sterilising, the
transducer should be rinsed briefly in distilled water and dried.
Perasafe is available from CareFusion in convenient 81g
containers.
4. Re-assemble the mouthpiece holder.
