Cleaning
For optimum performance, the PPI inlet, impaction, and base plates should be
cleaned aft er fi ve runs or upon a noticeable buildup of material to remove oil
and other residue built up from frequent sampling. Disassemble the PPI and
wash parts in water with a liquid detergent or soap. Rinse and air-dry all parts
thoroughly in a clean environment.
Do not place any mechanical object in the inlet nozzles.
