Use Instructions - Bionix OtoClear Instrucciones De Uso

OtoClear , powered by Aquabot
®

USE INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Clean by filling base half full with soapy
water, twist on the lid, shake to clean and
then spray soapy water through the unit.
Repeat with fresh water.
2. Fill base to 32 oz. mark on 1000mL bottle
and 19 oz. on 650mL bottle. Fill the water
reservoir of the delivery device with warm
water (approximate body temperature).
DO NOT use cold or hot water as it may
cause dizziness in some patients.
3. Attach Aquabot to top of bottle and close
firmly by rotating clockwise.
4. Grasp the OtoClear Tip and twist onto the
luer lock fitting of the adapter until it stops.
5. Pump no more than 6 times. This will
pressurize the unit to approximately 35 psi.
Take note of the force required on the last
pump and use this as a guide for when to
stop pumping on future charges so that you
do not over-pressurize the unit.

6. Insert OtoClear tip fully into the ear canal. The flared design
of the OtoClear tip protects against over-insertion. Tip: Fully
inserting OtoClear Tip will help eliminate backsplash.
7. Place a basin beneath the outer ear to capture draining efflu-
ent. Note: The OtoClear tip directs the water towards the walls
of the ear canal creating a turbulent lavage that effectively
dislodges the cerumen. The exit portals control backsplash
and deliver the effluent into the basin.
8. To release water, and irrigate the ear
canal firmly press the colored circle on
the back of the trigger.
9. Reexamine the ear canal. Repeat the irrigation procedure as
needed. Sometimes a large plug of wax will not exit through
the portal. In these cases, we recommend the use of a Safe Ear
Curette™ to extract any remaining cerumen.
10. Remove any remaining water in the ear canal with an
absorbent sponge. When procedure is complete, remove
and dispose of the single-use OtoClear tip.
11. The safest method to depressurize the unit is to hold it upside
down, while keeping the weighted screen above the water
line. Then press the trigger to spray out compressed air.
WARNING: Failure to remove the OtoClear Tip
runs the risk of cross contamination between patients.
The tip is designed to be a single-use product.
