19.1
Cleaning
Otodynamics does not recommend the use of bleaches such as sodium
hypochlorite based cleansers.
The following is the suggested method of cleaning an Otodynamics probe.
It should be noted that the probe is a precision assembly and, as such,
care should be taken throughout in its handling and cleaning.
Cable -
The cable may be cleaned with alcohol based antiseptic fluid or
wipes.
Probe casing -
The probe casing may be cleaned using alcohol based
antiseptic wipes and dried with a tissue immediately afterwards. Do not
allow liquids to enter the sound tubes.
Coupler assembly -
Each coupler assembly has two sound tubes. These
are protected from ingress of foreign materials by wax guards in the tubes
and by the disposable probe tip. There is a loudspeaker at the end of one
tube and a microphone at the end of the other. Cleaning solution must not
penetrate the tubes.
19.2
Changing probe coupler tubes
The probe has sound tubes combined into a single coupler assembly that
can easily be replaced at regular intervals or when contaminated.
