INTENDED PURPOSE
The Propulse NG Electronic Ear Irrigation System is intended to:
a) Facilitate the removal of cerumen and foreign bodies that
are not hygroscopic from the auditory meatus.
b) Remove discharge, keratin or debris from the external
auditory meatus by irrigation with warm water.
Reasons for using this procedure are to:
a) Correctly treat otitis externa where the meatus is obscured
by debris.
b) Improve conduction of sound into the ear, where impacted wax is
believed to be the cause of a hearing defect.
c) Examine the external auditory meatus and the
tympanic membrane.
d) Remove a cause of discomfort.
This procedure should ONLY be carried out by a suitably
trained clinician.
