It is recommended that you clean the transducers at 3 month intervals. To clean the inside

the outlets.
Test Fluid
The Product is intended to operate with de-ionized water with added detergent. Fluids
intended for use on patients, such as high viscosity, oily, or corrosive substances will
damage the measurement system. Tap water can contain contaminates which can also
damage the transducer.
Test fluid can be made with de-ionized water and a wetting agent such as MICRO-90. It
is recommended that a 0.1 % solution of MICRO-90 in de-ionized water (preferably
degassed) be prepared in volume for daily use and kept in a sealed vessel. If the water
makes too much foam, then a 0.05 % dilution is recommended.
MICRO-90 is available from:
