Echo-Screen III Pro Instructions for Use
OAE probe nozzle routine cleaning:
IMPORTANT:
Remove the probe nozzle only to troubleshoot data collection problems. After
being removed a few times, the clips no longer hold the nozzle securely in place and the nozzle
must be replaced.
1
Remove the disposable ear tip from the probe nozzle.
2
Use a prepackaged alcohol wipe or a lint-free cloth dampened (not wet) with 70% isopropyl
alcohol to wipe the grooves of the probe tip and the outside housing of the probe. Be sure
to clean the grooves from the base to the tip to avoid pushing debris back into the closed
channels at the base of the grooves.

Allow the probe housing and probe tip to dry thoroughly before you apply an ear tip.
OAE, ATA, and PCA cable thorough cleaning:
1
Disconnect the cable from the device.
