CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Store the Nitrogen Tester in a temperature similar to its ambient environment of daily use.
The instructions given below describe the methods to clean the instrument, sensor and its
accessories:
Instrument
! When cleaning or disinfecting the exterior of the Nitrogen Tester, take appropriate care
to prevent any solution from entering the instrument. Do not immerse unit in fluids.
Oxygen Sensor
! Clean the sensor with a cloth moistened with a 65% alcohol / water solution.
! It’s not recommended to use spray disinfectants because they can contain salt, which
can accumulate in the sensor membrane and impair readings.
Accessory
! The threaded barbed adapter may be cleaned by washing it with a 65 percent alcohol
& water solution. The part must be thoroughly dry before it is re-used.
