CLEANING THE ACCESSORIES
5.3.1.
TRANSDUCER MAINTENANCE
Before use check the transducer cables and connectors for signs of wear and/or damage. If you find any,
please replace the item immediately by contacting Amplivox or your Amplivox distributor, requesting the
relevant part number.
Handle the audiometric headset, bone vibrator headset and other accessories with care. For parts that are in
direct contact with the patient it is recommended that replacement parts are used or the parts are subjected to
a standard disinfecting procedure between patients.
This includes physically cleaning and use of a recognised disinfectant. The specific manufacturer's instructions
should be followed for use of this disinfecting agent to provide an appropriated level of cleanliness.
During the cleaning process do not allow moisture to enter the earphone, insert masker, monitor or
microphone grills etc. For specific accessories refer to the sections below.
5.3.2.
EARPHONES
Clean the ear cushions (including those on the Audiocups, if used) with a recognised disinfectant, e.g. a
“Mediswab”.
5.3.3.
INSERT MASKER
Never insert or in any way use the insert masker without using a new, clean and fault-free test tip. This part is
for single use only - that is, each test tip is intended to be used once only for a single ear for a single patient.
Do not reuse test tips as this will pose the risk of ear-to-ear or patient-to-patient cross infection.
5.3.4.
INSERT EARPHONES
The disposable foam eartips supplied with the optional EarTone5A insert transducers are for single use only -
that is, each eartip is intended to be used once only for a single ear for a single patient. Do not reuse eartips
as this will pose the risk of ear-to-ear or patient-to-patient cross infection.
