Attaching Eartips
The ERO•SCAN
®
instrument comes with a box of disposable
eartips that fit a variety of ear canal sizes. The probe tube must
have an eartip attached before inserting it into an ear canal. The
determination of the appropriate eartip size should be made by
persons with proper training and experience. The eartip must
seal the ear canal. The best test results are obtained when the
eartip is inserted deeply into the ear canal instead of flush with
the ear canal opening. Caution must be taken, however, to
ensure that the eartip does not extend too deeply into the ear
canal. Use only the eartips approved for use with the
instrument. The eartips are disposable and should be replaced
after each patient.
After selecting an eartip, push it onto the probe tube until it is
flush against the base of the probe tube (Figure 5). Twisting the
eartip slightly while pushing it onto the probe is recommended.
Be sure the eartip is fully seated on the probe. There should be
no gaps between the eartip and the collar of the probe head
(Figure 6).

Removing Eartips
In order to remove the eartip, grasp the eartip at the base using
the eartip removal tool and pull it smoothly straight off the
probe tube (Figure 7). If you do not have a Removal tool at
hand, grasp the eartip at the base with your fingers and twist it
while pulling it off the probe tube. Grasping the base of the
eartip will prevent the probe tube from being inadvertently
pulled out of the probe head along with the eartip.
NOTE: If the probe tube becomes dirty or clogged, it must be
replaced. See the section
chapter 20.3 for further information.
