Attach the probe tube
A clear probe tube must be attached to the probe head before an eartip is applied.
1. Insert a new probe tube into the probe head until it is fully seated.
A properly inserted probe tube snaps securely into place when it is fully seated in the
probe head.
2. To remove a probe tube, grasp the tube and pull gently away from the probe head
with a slight twist.
It is not necessary to replace the probe tube with each eartip; the tube is reusable as
long as the probe tube is clear.
WARNING If the probe tube becomes dirty or clogged, it must be
replaced. A dirty probe tube may produce wrong results.
Eartips
The screener comes with a box of disposable, single-use eartips that fit a variety of ear
canal sizes. The determination of the appropriate eartip size should be made by persons
with proper training and experience. The probe must have a probe tube applied and an
eartip attached before inserting it into an ear canal. The eartip must seal the ear canal.
The best test results are obtained when the eartip is inserted deeply into the ear canal
instead of flush with the ear canal opening. Caution must be taken, however, to ensure
that the eartip does not extend too deeply into the ear canal. Use only the eartips
approved for use with the instrument. The eartips are disposable and must be replaced
after each patient.
