8 Routine Maintenance
8.1 Audiometer maintenance
The Model 170 audiometer is a precision instrument. Handle it carefully in
order to ensure its continued accuracy and service. When cleaning the
instrument, first disconnect it from the mains supply. Use a soft cloth and
mild detergent to clean the instrument panel when required. Refer to ISO
8253-1 for additional guidance.
8.2 Transducer maintenance
Before use check the transducer cables and connectors for signs of wear
and/or damage. If you find any, please replace the item immediately by
contacting Amplivox or your Amplivox distributor, requesting the relevant
part number (see Section 12).
Handle the audiometric headset and other accessories with care. For
parts that are in direct contact with the patient it is recommended that
replacement parts are used or the parts are subjected to a standard
disinfecting procedure between patients.
This includes physically cleaning and use of a recognised disinfectant.
The specific manufacturer's instructions should be followed for use of this
disinfecting agent to provide an appropriate level of cleanliness.
Clean the ear cushions (including those on the Audiocups, if used) with a
recognised disinfectant, e.g. a “Mediswab”.
During the cleaning process do not allow moisture to
enter the earphone.
