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 International Product Corp.
For ordering information, see the IDA-1S Users Manual.
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).
