CASE, CRADLE AND CABLES
Use caution while cleaning.
•
Before cleaning, remove the Novus from the cradle and unplug the
cradle from AC power.
•
Use a soft cloth moistened with a mild solution of water and detergent to
clean the plastic parts of the Novus and cradle.
•
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 rim around the Novus.
•
Follow the instructions on the disinfection product.
PROBE
Patient contact parts should be cleaned prior to each use. The probe and insert
earphones may be wiped with a slightly damp cloth containing soap and water,
ammonia-based cleaners or bleach-based cleaners. Gently wipe the items with the
slightly damp cloth taking care not to get moisture in the speaker portion of the probe
or insert earphones.
The SnapPROBE™ uses a special Sanibel™ eartip that couples the probe to the ear and
provides 3 separate acoustic channels. Each acoustic channel is protected with a wax
guard. The wax guard prevents earwax from entering the probe
body. The wax guards must be regularly checked for earwax in
the openings. If you see earwax in the wax guard, you should
replace it.
Remove the eartip from the probe by simply snapping it off the
probe. Discard the disposable eartip. It is for single use only.
