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:

Storage
Remove all water from the Product before storage, particularly if temperatures
can fall below 5 ° C (41 ° F). Do not pressurize the inlet ports. It is safest to use a
medical suction pump to drain the measuring channels and use the Cycle Valves
from the Calibration menu (follow on-screen instructions).
Shipping
Remove all liquid from the Product before shipping. To prevent liquid from
entering the ports, put the Product in a large plastic bag. Put the bagged Product
into its shipping carton. If this is not available, make sure there is shock
protection with a minimum of 5 cm compressible cushioning inside the carton (for
example, 60 cm x 60 cm x 60 cm).
