Insert phone
1.
Fit a suitably sized foam eartip on the contralateral
insert phone.
2.
Before inserting the eartip in the patient's ear,
compress the foam eartip to make it smaller.
Insert the eartip in the patient's ear until the outer
surface of the eartip is flush with the ear canal
entrance.
The eartip will expand in the ear canal within a few
seconds.
Supra-aural phone
1. Fit the supra-aural phone on the patient's head so
that the center of the phone is directed towards the
entrance of the ear canal.
Caution
•
Never insert the contralateral phone into the patient's ear without first inspecting the patient's ear
canal.
Caution
•
Do not use the contralateral insert phone in an ear with discharge. Use a supra-aural phone instead.
Warning
•
To prevent cross-infection, use new eartips when you test each patient.
Caution
•
If an ear canal collapses and prevents the stimulus from entering the ear, use the insert phone or follow
local recommendations.
