Earphones
Clean the ear cushions with a recognised disinfectant, e.g. a “Mediswab”.
Insert Masker
Never insert or in any way use the insert masker without using a new,
clean and fault-free test tip. This part is for single use only - that is, each
test tip is intended to be used once only for a single ear for a single
patient. Do not reuse test tips as this will pose the risk of ear-to-ear or
patient-to-patient cross infection.
Insert Earphones
The disposable foam eartips supplied with the optional EarTone5A insert
transducers are for single use only - that is, each eartip is intended to be
used once only for a single ear for a single patient. Do not reuse eartips as
this will pose the risk of ear-to-ear or patient-to-patient cross infection.
Further guidance is provided below:
Ensure that the black tubing protruding the foam eartip is
not
applied
to the patient; this must be attached to the sound tube of the insert
transducer
Roll the foam eartip into the smallest possible diameter
Insert the eartip into the ear canal of the patient
Hold the eartip until it has expanded and a seal is achieved
After testing the patient the foam eartip including the black tubing
must be detached from the sound tube
The insert transducer should be examined prior to attaching a new
foam eartip
