Handle the audiometric headset, bone vibrator 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.
During the cleaning process do not allow moisture to
enter the earphone, insert masker, monitor or microphone
grills etc. For specific accessories refer to the sections
below.
Earphones
Clean the ear cushions (including those on the Audiocups, if used) 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 intended 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:
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
Roll the foam eartip into the smallest possible diameter
Insert the eartip into the ear canal of the patient
