OTOWAVE 302+ INSTRUCTION FOR USE
6.2.
CLEANING THE OTOWAVE 302+
•
Use caution while cleaning.
•
Before cleaning, remove the Otowave 302+ from mains power.
•
Single use components such as ear-tips do not require cleaning.
•
Do not allow any liquid to enter any part of the instrument or accessories.
•
Do not autoclave or sterilise the instrument or any accessories.
•
Do not use hard, sharp or pointed objects to clean any part of the instrument or an accessory.
•
If parts have been in contact with fluids do not allow them to dry before cleaning.
•
Follow local best practice and safety guidelines if available.
•
Clean the instrument by wiping the outer case with a lint free cloth lightly dampened with cleaning solution.
Recommended cleaning and disinfection solutions are warm water with mild, nonabrasive cleaning solution
(soap) and/or Clinical wipes (for example Clinell Universal).
•
If disinfection is required, use a disinfectant wipe rather than a spray product. Make sure that excess liquid
from the wipe does not seep into any sensitive areas such as connectors and seams where plastic pieces
connect such as under the rubber buttons on the Otowave 302+. Follow the instructions on the disinfection
product.
6.3.
CLEANING THE PROBE
he probe tip should be checked before each ear insertion to ensure it is undamaged and that none of the tubes through
it are blocked. It should be replaced if necessary.
The sealing washer should be replaced when the probe tip is replaced, if it shows signs of wear, or if a pressure leak is
suspected.
Handle the probe and accessories with care. Do not allow moisture, condensation, fluids
or debris to enter the probe.
6.4.
DISPOSABLES
Ear tips should be replaced after a single use. This applies to ear tips used with the main probe assembly and the
contralateral transducer.
Use only the disposable supplies that are supplied with your Otowave 302+. Ear tips are intended for single use only.
These should be discarded after use.
In the event of re-use of the single-use disposables, you enhance the risk of cross
contamination!
