Clean Injector and Accessories

CAUTION! Do not clean the inside of the injector other than the inside of the bottle
holder. Cleaning the inside can cause damage.
Periodically clean the outside surfaces, the inside and outside of the bottle holder, the
snorkel clamps, and the snorkel end of the injector tubing with a lint-free cloth that has been
lightly dampened with water. You can remove the bottle holder for cleaning. See
Assembly and Maintenance on page
If decontamination is required, use a lint-free cloth that has been lightly dampened with a
decontaminating solution, such as 70% ethanol or 3% sodium hypochlorite. See
Compatible Solutions on page
Note: After you use a decontamination solution, always wipe the areas with a lint-free
cloth that has been lightly dampened with water to remove the residue. If you use
sodium hypochlorite, wipe the areas with a lint-free cloth that has been lightly
dampened with 70% alcohol before you wipe again with water.
CAUTION! Do not use abrasive cleaners. Do not spray cleaner directly onto the
instrument. Do not immerse the injector.
