5.4.3.4 Handling the Eartips
Choose the proper size of eartips
based on your inspection of the size of the patient’s ear canals.
Do not insert the probe without having an eartip attached to
prevent damage to the patient’s ear canals.
Figure 37
Put the eartip tightly on the probe tip making sure it is pushed
all the way down (Figure 37).
Figure 38
Insert the probe with eartip
attached into the patient’s ear.
For children and adults, pull gently up and back on the outer
ear (i.e. Pinna) during insertion to straighten the ear canal.
Hold the adapter and aim and twist (gently) the eartip into the
ear canal. The fit of the eartip should be secure; not
superficial (Figure 38). Release the earlobe. When testing
infants, gently pull the Pinna down and back to straighten the
ear canal.
Each eartip should only be used once. For more detailed
information see section 3.4.
Figure 39
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 39).
NOTE:
If the probe tip becomes dirty or clogged, it must
be cleaned (see section 3.3.4) or replaced.
