The ICS AirCal is designed to be used at any convenient level such as on a table, or cart. The ICS AirCal can be stacked with
the Chartr 200 VNG/ENG hardware. It is best if the ICS AirCal is on top in order to refill the water as needed. Make sure
the delivery head can reach the patient's ear. Make sure the stool can be adjusted to a height that will allow you to view
the tympanic membrane (i.e., the eardrum) while performing irrigation.
Note
•
The ICS AirCal can be ordered in 2 different cable lengths 3 meter/10 feet (standard) and 4 meter/13 feet (exten-
ded). The decision on which to order should occur prior to purchase.

Installation and setup
2.2.1
Removing the transportation screws
To prevent possible damage during shipping, the air pump housing is secured with transportation screws. These screws
must be removed to allow the housing to move and thereby reduce the amount of noise the air pump produces. It is
important to keep the transportation screws to secure the housing in the event the device needs to be shipped.
1. Remove transportation screws (A) and (B).
2. Store them with your Syringe Kit, Funnel and Allen Key.
2.2.2
Installing the Delivery Head Cradle
Caution
•
Install the cradle prior to filling the water reservoir. Installation requires that the ICS AirCal is tilted more
than 20°. If the water reservoir has water in it, tilting the device could introduce air into the system. There is little
chance of damage to the system but, priming of the water reservoir would be required to make the system operate
properly and not overheat.
Before installing the cradle for the delivery head determine how it should be mounted:
