If you have another Draeger tube, which you wish to use with the instrument, contact Factair for technical advice on its suitability. - Page 11 To complete an Impactor test click on the button. The instrument will now begin a 1-minute purge sequence, during which time an airflow will be passed through the test port. This clears contaminants from previous tests and ensures that a representative sample is being tested.
