4.3.1 Ear rinsing system (option)
 The ear rinsing system is supplied with water by a heated
(37°C) 4.5 l storage container (, Fig. 17). This container
caneasilybelled,cleanedordisinfected.Thepumpturns
on automatically only when pressure drops. Water pressure
andowquantitymayberegulatedwiththereleaselever
on the irrigation handle. With the switch , Fig 17 a, the
ear irrigation system can be switched on and off.
 Switch on the ENT unit only after water has been
 lledin the storage container of the ear rinsing sy
stem.
 Usee.g.themeasuringcup(000.0583.0)tollthestorage
container with water of drinking quality (at least 2 l, max.
4.5 l) and close the lid.
 The water must not be contaminated and its tem-
perature must not exceed 37°C as it cannot be cooled
down. If there is no water of drinking quality
  available,youmayalsollinisotonicsaline
solution. Alternatively, you may achieve drinking
  waterqualitybylteringorboilingthewater
resp.by adding disinfectants.
 This system may not be used if the auditory canal is
injured as there might be a risk of infection if the
irrigation liquid is contaminated.
 The temperature display indicates the water temperature.
It takes approx. 15 min. until 2 litres of cold tap water are
heated up to 37°C. Observe the temperature display and
check water temperature prior to every application. As
soon as the middle lamp is lit the water has reached the
desired temperature.
 Take the water handle out of its holder and spray off water
until all air bubbles are removed and the level of the pump
noise gets lower (repeat this procedure every time the
pump noise gets loud, e.g. after long periods during which
it has not been used or after the water level has dropped
below the suction limit).
 Change the jet connection daily. Only use disinfected jet
connections to avoid a spreading of germs. Use the hose
tip to avoid damages to the tympanic membrane.
 Cleaning: Empty the storage container and the hose system
every evening using the irrigation handle. The remaining
uidcan,forexample, beremovedwiththesuction sy-
stem.
 To avoid a contamination of the storage container
please use a disinfected suction attachment.
 Disinfection: The storage container has to be disinfected
once a week with a surface disinfectant (see list of recom-
mended disinfectants in chapter 5.5).
 The hose system of the ear rinsing equipment has also to
be effected disinfected once a week with a hose disinfec-
tant.
 A measuring of the total number of germs is to be effected
in regular intervals. If there is a considerable increase in
germs between storage container and irrigation handle a
biolmremovingprocedureandaspecialdisinfectionof
the hose system have to be effected by an ATMOS service
technician.
 Before cleaning the storage container, switch off the
unit as, otherwise, the canister might get too hot when
  noliquidislledin.
