vPad-IV OPERATORS MANUAL
5.4 Service Cleaning
Failure to observe test fluid recommendations as specified in Section 3.5.1 of this manual may result in
inaccurate, intermittent or erratic measurements of flow and volume. When contamination by a soiled or
incompatible fluid is minor, or is recognized immediately after the contamination occurs, the regular
cleaning procedure described in Section 5.3 may be able to overcome the problem, although it may be
necessary to repeat the procedure several times.
If an incompatible fluid such as dextrose (D50W) or TPN solution has been left in a Module for a period of
time, and particularly if the Module has been allowed to dry out while such fluid was in the unit, then direct
scrubbing of the
glass flow sensor
inside the Module will likely be necessary to remove the deposits on the
glass. The vPad-IV Module has provisions which enable this repair procedure to be performed by an end-
user in the field, potentially making it unnecessary for the user to return the damaged Module to an
Authorized Service Center for repair.
The field repair procedure requires a Flow Sensor Cleaning Kit (part number
7500-155
), which contains the
necessary tools and instructions. A single kit may be used to service multiple vPad-IV Modules. To request a
7500-155 kit, contact your Datrend distributor or Datrend Customer Service as specified in Section 5.5.
Do not disassemble the Module and attempt direct-contact cleaning of the
internal glass flow sensor without a 7500-155 kit. Failure to use correct tools
and procedure may result in irreversible damage to the Module or flow sensor
which is not covered under warranty.
