7 Care and maintenance 

Disconnect the power plug before cleaning! 

If  the  surface  of  the  instrument  or  parts  of  it  is  contaminated,  it  can  be 
cleaned using a soft cloth  moistened with a mild solution of water and dish 
washing cleaner or similar. The use of organic solvents and aromatic oils must 
be avoided. 

After  each  examination  of  a  patient,  it  should  be  ensured  that  there  is  no 
contamination  on  the  parts  in  connection  with  the  patient.  General 
precautions must be observed in order to avoid that disease from one patient 
is  conducted  to  others.  If  ear  cushions  are  contaminated,  it  is  strongly 
recommended to remove them from the transducer before they are cleaned. 
By  frequent  cleaning  water  should  be  used,  but  by  severe  contamination  it 
may  be  necessary  to  use  a  disinfectant.  The  use  of  organic  solvents  and 
aromatic oils must be avoided.  

Always disconnect the mains conductor during the cleaning process, and be 
careful that no fluid is entering the inside of the instrument or the accessories; 
no alcohol or spirits should be used.  

8 Disinfection 

It is recommended that parts which are in direct contact with the patient (e.g. 
earphone  cushions  or  patient  response  switch)  are  subjected  to  standard 
disinfecting procedure between patients. This includes physically cleaning and 
use of a recognized disinfectant. Individual manufacturer's instruction should 
be followed for use of this disinfecting agent to provide an appropriated level 
of cleanliness. If ear cushions are contaminated, it is strongly recommended to 
remove them from the transducer before they are cleaned
