Storage

Before storing the ETT Gustatometer 2 the cleaning procedure in the section below should be followed.
If the device is not used for an extended period, we recommend detaching and wrapping all tubing from
the device. All parts must be dry and free of any experimental residuals. Especially dried solids from an
experiment like sugar or salt, can cause problems once the device is reactivated. The disinfected and
dried mouthpiece should be stored in a separate bag. A dust free environment is ideal.

Cleaning procedures

To guarantee optimal subject safety and a long lifespan of your ETT Gustometer 2 and the supplied
equipment, we advise to follow these cleaning procedures. They apply

before and after each use cycle

:

Cleaning the tubing

1.

Stop all pumps

2.

On the touchscreen set the pump speed to 100%

3.

Switch the touch-screen to

PC/Manual/Prime
