Environmental Protection
This symbol on the products and/or accompanying
documents means that used electrical and electronic
products should not be mixed with general waste.
Please return to Mirage Health Group. Penalties may
be applicable for incorrect disposal of this waste,
in accordance with national legislation.
Disposing of used Propulse QrX Tips
- Disposal should
be in accordance with local authority guidelines and regulations
for the disposal of clinical waste. Propulse QrX Tips should not
be disposed of in municipal waste.
Transportation
Before the Propulse NG Electronic Ear Irrigation System is
transported, the reservoir must be emptied and the machine
should be operated until the handle and hose are empty of
liquid. The reservoir should then be dried using a paper towel.
For safer transportation of Propulse NG Electronic Ear
Irrigation System, Mirage recommends that the Propulse carry
case is used to prevent damage or contamination.
Cleaning
Do not attempt to clean the Propulse QrX Tip. Use one
Propulse QrX Tip per patient treatment and discard to clinical
waste after use as this reduces the risk of cross infection
between patients.
External cleaning of the Propulse NG Electronic Ear Irrigation
System should be done by hand, wiping with a damp cloth
only. Apply liquids to the cloth not the unit. Do not immerse
the unit in water. Mild detergents and disinfectants may be
used externally.
Internal cleaning of the Propulse NG Electronic Ear
Irrigation System pumps and waterways.
The importance of using the correct strength cleaning solution
cannot be overstated. A solution that is too strong will in time
damage the Propulse NG Electronic Ear Irrigation System
and one that is too weak will fail to provide the correct level
of cleaning and decontamination. To this end Mirage Health
Group provides a simple to use, effective, specific strength
CHLOR-CLEAN
®
Propulse Cleaning tablet.
PRIOR
to use:
1. Place one Propulse cleaning tablet into the reservoir, fill with
warm water to the 500ml mark and wait for the tablet to
completely dissolve.
2. Run the Propulse NG Electronic Ear Irrigation System for a
few seconds to fill the pump and hose.
Propulse QrX Tips are available in boxes of 100, individually
wrapped (non-sterile) tips from your normal Propulse supplier
or from Mirage directly (UK only). Propulse QrX Tips are clearly
branded with the Propulse logo on the tip and it’s packaging.
Only branded Propulse QrX Tips should be used with the
Propulse NG Electronic Ear Irrigation System.
Replacing the Mushroom Valve
The Mushroom Valve is specifically designed to prevent water
flowing out of the reservoir whilst filling. Should a replacement
Mushroom Valve be required, please follow the steps below -
This will help prevent possible damage to the water inlet valve.
1) Remove the reservoir from the Propulse NG.
2) Remove the old Mushroom Valve from the reservoir
and discard.
3) Insert a new Mushroom Valve into the reservoir.
4) Return the reservoir to the machine.
Power Adaptor
The Power Adaptor can be used to charge the internal battery or
to run the device from the mains electrical supply.
Connect the outlet lead of the Power Adaptor to the Power
Adaptor socket (11) marked on the end of the product and to the
mains electrical supply. Make sure the cord and Power Adaptor
are positioned so that they will not be subjected to damage or
stress or present a trip hazard.
Only use a Propulse branded Power Adaptor.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug the unit from the
power source before attempting to clean it externally.
The Power Adaptor must not be used outdoors or in
damp areas.
The Propulse Power Adaptor will have been supplied with
an appropriate electrical plug. If there are any problems
connecting to the mains electrical supply consult a
qualified electrician.
Battery Use And Care
We recommend that the battery be fully charged for 24 hours
before you use the Propulse NG Electronic Ear Irrigation
System for the first time.
For subsequent use the battery will normally require 16 hours
to fully charge.
A new battery or one that has not been used for a long time
may have reduced capacity the first few times it is used.
The battery is integral and is only replaceable by a Mirage
authorised battery replacement centre. Refer to your Propulse
supplier or the Mirage Health Group Certified Service Centre
(UK customers only).
It is recommended that the battery is replaced after 400
charge cycles.
