Test Fluid
The Product operates with distilled or de-ionized water with added detergent.
Fluids intended for use on patients, high viscosity fluids, oily, or corrosive
substances will cause damage to the measurement system. Tap water can
contain contaminates that can cause damage to the fluid paths.
You can make test fluid with de-ionized water and a wetting agent such as
MICRO-90. Fluke recommends that you prepare a 0.1 % solution of MICRO-90
in de-ionized water (preferably degassed) in volume for daily use. Keep the
solution in a sealed container. If the solution makes too much foam, then you can
use a 0.05 % dilution.
MICRO-90 is available from:

Storage
Remove all water from the Product before storage, especially 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.
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, 40 cm x 30 cm x 20 cm).
