Speculum
An outer disposable speculum should always be placed on the delivery head prior to performing an irrigation on a patient.
The outer disposable speculum is intended to be single-use.
4.1.2
Lens
The lens should be cleaned with optical cleaning cloth. If the lens is mishandled and broken, a new lens can be
purchased. Slide the broken lens out and slide the new lens into place. See
4.1.3
Light on/off button
The light should be turned on during irrigation to view the tympanic membrane (the eardrum) to ensure that the air
flow is being directed properly. By default, the light is turned on when the ICS Aircal device is in operation mode. The
light will flash when the caloric test/irrigator is initiated by pressing the foot switch or the activation trigger on the
delivery head to confirm initiation of the devices. If the ICS Aircal device has not been used for 10 minutes, the light
will automatically turn off.
Caution
• Never place the inner speculum directly into the patient's ear.
