3.3.4 Cleaning the Probe Tip
In order to secure correct immittance measurements it is important to make sure that the
probe system is kept clean at all times. Therefore please clean the probe on a periodic
basis. It is indispensable to remove cerumen from the probe tip’s small acoustic and air
pressure channels. Therefore please follow the illustrated instructions below. The pictures
show the procedure on the Pen Probe (left) and the Shoulder Box (right).
Never clean the probe tip while the tip is still attached to
the probe
