CAPELLA Cochlear Emissions Analyzer
instrument. It should not be dropped, brought in contact with liq-
uids, or otherwise maltreated.
However, the probe tip should be inspected periodically for foreign
matter at the end of the tip. To clear cerumen, vernix and other de-
bris from the tip, follow the instructions below:
1.
Brush the probe every time after use with the cleaning tool
supplied. If cerumen or vernix is pushed up inside the probe
housing, the probe will be damaged. Brush in a direction away
from the probe housing, towards the tip of the probe.
2.
The probe should never be placed directly in water or other
cleaning liquids. Liquids seeping into the housing will dam-
age the probe.
3.
When fitting a new eartip to the probe, ensure it is pushed all
the way to the probe casing, so there is no gap between the
eartip and the casing. The top should be flush with the end of
the probe tip.
4.
Caution!
Do not allow the probe body, which contains the acoustic
transducers, to come in contact with any liquids.
5.
The probe cannot be dismantled - this is not necessary for
cleaning if the care instructions are followed.
6.
Do not fit the probe by holding on to the cable as you could
damage the pin connector by doing this.
