Note: The Membrane Changer can be reused
by replacing its insert. To prepare the Membrane
Changer for reuse, refer to the Directions for Use
of the Membrane Changer Inserts or see tutorial at

.
Inserting Sensor into Membrane Changer
1. Verify that the sensor is clean before
changing its membrane. If necessary,
carefully wipe off any residue from
the sensor’s surface (including
membrane, housing and cable) with
70% isopropanol (for other approved
cleaning agents refer to the sensor’s
Directions for Use).
2. Place the Membrane Changer on
a horizontal, dry surface with the
colored dot facing up.
3. Insert the sensor into the Membrane
Changer with the sensor side facing up.
The insert receiver

is designed so
that improper alignment of the sensor
is difficult if not impossible.
Note: Neither touch nor hold the sensor cable while the sensor
is inside in the Membrane Changer nor pick up the Membrane
Changer as this may lead to dislodging the sensor from the
Membrane Changer.
Four Press-and-Turn Steps
to Change the Membrane
The membrane change procedure consists of four identical
press-and-turn steps. To provide better guidance, these steps
are marked with the corresponding numbers on the Membrane
Changer.
Step 1 removes the old sensor membrane: Press down slowly
but firmly with palm of hand and hold for 3 seconds. Release
the top Carry out a visual check to ensure that the membrane
is removed. Turn the top portion one click clockwise to the next
step. Keep the Membrane Changer horizontal.
Step 2 cleans the sensor surface from old electrolyte: As in
step 1, press the membrane changer slowly but firmly, release
the top and turn clockwise to the next step.
Step 3 applies new electrolyte on the sensor surface: Press
the membrane changer slowly but firmly for 3 seconds, release
the top and turn clockwise to the next step.
Step 4 places a new membrane on the sensor: Press the
membrane changer top down slowly but firmly for 3 seconds,
release the top and turn clockwise to the √ symbol.
