Ear tips:
Use new ear tips for each patient. Ear tips are for single patient use only.
Probe tube:
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 Probe Check phase. Disinfection of the probe tube
between patients is not required. The probe tube requires replacement only when it becomes clogged.
The cleaning instruction outlined in this Instruction for Use may not conform to the infection control
guidelines of the user's facility. The disinfection materials and procedures applied in the user's facility may be
more appropriate for their circumstances than the methods outlined above (see cautions below). The
frequency of cleaning and disinfecting is dependent on the facility's risk assessment, usage, and test
environment.
