Warm water with mild, nonabrasive cleaning solution (soap)

Clinical wipes (for example Clinell Universal)


Use a soft lint-free cloth lightly dampened with cleaning solution to clean:
o
all exposed surfaces

Single use components such as ear-tips do not require cleaning

13.2. EARTIPS AND PROBE
Ear tips should be replaced after a single use. This applies to ear tips used with the main probe assembly and
the contralateral transducer.
The probe tip and its associated sealing washer are disposable devices. The probe tip should be checked
before each ear insertion to ensure it is undamaged and that none of the tubes through it are blocked. It should
be replaced if necessary.
The sealing washer should be replaced when the probe tip is replaced, if it shows signs of wear, or if a pressure
leak is suspected.
Handle the probe and accessories with care. Do not allow moisture,
condensation, fluids or debris to enter the probe.
13.3. CALIBRATION AND RETURN OF THE INSTRUMENT
Amplivox recommends that the Otowave is calibrated annually. A warning message will be displayed at power
up if the instrument was calibrated more than twelve months ago. The date of the last calibration is displayed
on the SYSTEM INFORMATION screen. Please contact Amplivox for details.
If the instrument is to be used at elevations above that specified in Section 2.1 re-calibration must be
undertaken at the intended operating elevation.
