CAUTION
Long-term exposure to disinfecting agents has the potential to
alter the material properties of the plastic housing and labeling of the
device. Exposing the device to these condition may affect the stability of
the device.
CAUTION Always follow the safety and disposal guidelines for cleaning
and disinfectant chemicals provided by the manufacturer. Failure to do so
may affect the stability of the device.
Note
The probe tube, which does not make direct contact with the patient,
should be replaced if there is any sign of contamination or if the test will
not progress past the AutoStart phase. You do not need to disinfect the
probe tube between patients.
Use a new eartip for each patient. Eartips are for single patient use only. The probe tube,
which does not make direct contact with the patient, should be replaced if there is any
sign of contamination or if the test will not progress past the AutoStart phase.
Disinfection of the probe tube between patients is not required.
External parts of the instrument/probe can be cleaned to remove visible particulate
contamination. Do not attempt to insert any object into probe.
This instrument is not designated as a "sterile" device. Wiping with a clean cloth or towel
provides suitable cleaning of the housing and probe exterior. Repeat this weekly, or as
often as conditions warrant, to prevent a build-up of grime from normal handling and use.
Low-level disinfection is appropriate for this type of instrument, but this standard might
not conform to the infection control guidelines of your facility. The disinfecting materials
and procedures applied in your facility might be more stringent for your circumstances
than the methods outlined above. The frequency of cleaning and disinfecting depends on
the facility’s risk assessment, usage, and test environment.
Calibrate the screener
Calibrate your screener every 12 months for measurement accuracy. Failure to do so
may affect the stability of the device.
Replace the probe tube
Probe tubes are disposable and should be replaced when they become clogged.
Replacement probe tubes are included with the screener.
1. Grasp the probe head with the fingertips of one hand.
2. Use the eartip to grasp the clear, plastic probe tube with the fingertips of your other
hand.
