Help! Is my integrated headset toast?

Hey guys,

After a 5 hour ride in the rain my integrated headset (FSA Orbit CE *campy compatible*) cartridges got some sand stuck inside them. When swiveling the bearings back and forth (the ring) there is a crunchy sandy sound coming from both top and bottom cartridges.

Is there a way I can service these myself? What are my options? My last recourse would be to replace them.

Here is a picture from bikeradar of how my cartridges look like, albeit not the exact model:


Thanks for your help guys!
