Measuring Considerations for Power Fits
RITE Power uses a high performance Receiver which requires
ample room in the ear canal. To determine if your client’s ear
canal can accommodate this Receiver and an additional 2 mm
vent, please use the measurement gauge supplied.
Using the measurement gauge
1. Hold the handle of the measurement gauge so that
the plane side of the handle is up.
2. Insert the gauge into the ear canal (with the plane side up)
until the size indicator is fully surrounded by the ear canal.
If the size indicator fits easily within the ear canal, the client
is an excellent candidate for RITE Power.
3. If the size indicator does not fit in the ear canal but is hidden
behind the tragus when viewing from a 45 degree angle,
the Power Mould can be fit. If the size indicator is visible
when viewed from a 45 degree angle, the client is not a
candidate for a Power Mould.
Note: The gauge must be cleaned and sterilised before
re-use. First clean any visible cerumen from the gauge with
a dry or moist tissue. Next soak the gauge in a cold sterilant
for at least 6 hours.

Attaching the Power Mould
Use a Power Receiver without an Adapter housing.
If the Receiver has an Adapter, see page 35 for instructions
on how to remove this. Hold the Receiver unit in one hand
and the Power Mould in the other hand, positioned as
illustrated.
Insert the Receiver unit into the Mould until it is fully covered
and recessed to approx. 1 mm. Use the back of the removal tool
if needed.
