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 in-
tended 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:
f
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
f
Roll the foam eartip into the smallest possible diameter
f
Insert the eartip into the ear canal of the patient
f
Hold the eartip until it has expanded and a seal is achieved
f
After testing the patient the foam eartip including the black
tubing must be detached from the sound tube
f
The insert transducer should be examined prior to attaching
a new foam eartip
