Proper care and maintenance will help you receive the maximum probe life and 
ensure more accurate readings.  

Since any deposits on the membrane surface act as a barrier to oxygen 
diffusing through the membrane, the membrane must be cleaned at regular 
intervals to assure maximum reliability.  

After using the probe, rinse the probe with clean water and wipe it with a soft 
cloth or paper to avoid any hardening of deposits if necessary. If growth 
develops on the probe, use a disinfecting chemical to clean.  

NOTE: Although the membrane is strong and not easily damaged, wipe it gently 
while cleaning it. If the membrane is damaged or torn, the probe will no longer 
function.  

There are no special probe storage requirements.  

Replacement of the pre-membraned cap is required only when you cannot 
calibrate the probe, or if the membrane is damaged.  

Typical membrane damages are punctures or wrinkles caused during 
measurements or cleaning.  

To order replacement probe components or a replacement probe, see Section 
13 “Accessories” on page 62.
