18.3.1 Use of tips
All Otodynamics probe tips are disposable and MUST be discarded after
each test. The probe coupler tubes should be visually examined for signs
of contamination and the outer parts cleaned with an antiseptic wipe. Take
care not to squeeze any cleaning uid into the tubes.
OAEs should NOT be conducted if there is evidence of uid of any kind
in the ear canal. Not only does this pose a contamination risk, but OAEs
cannot be recorded through uid.
In the event of an accident with body uids, the tip, coupler tubes and
probe body must be changed.
