Figure 14 

Operating the touchTymp will require the use of eartips 

– 

either  mushroom  shaped  (1)  or  umbrella  (2)  eartips 
(Figure 14).  

     

 

Eartips are intended for single-use only. These should be 
discarded after use. They cannot be cleaned. 

 

In  case  of  re-use  of  the  single-use  equipment  you 
enhance the risk of cross contamination! 

MAICO strongly recommends to use Sanibel eartips only. In case you want to purchase 
further disposables, please contact MAICO or your local distributor. 

3.5 Components/Replacement Parts 

Some  reusable  components  are  subject  to  wear  with  use  over  time.  MAICO 
recommends that you keep theses replacement parts available (as appropriate for your 
touchTymp device configuration).
