The earpieces of the probe and the insert earphones are made of
biocompatible material and must be used once only, then discarded in
compliance with current waste disposal regulations.
Earpieces are not sterile. Reusing unsterilized earpieces can cause
ear infections.

LEANING THE PROBE
To guarantee accurate compliance measurements, the three channels
incorporated into the probe must be kept properly clean. In effect, these three
channels carry the compliance measurement system, the stimulus speaker, and
the pressurization system.
As illustrated below, the probe comprises a main body rigidly attached to the
instrument, a tip (to which the earpiece is fitted) and a screw collar, which keeps
the tip of the probe firmly secured to the body.
Screw collar
Earpiece
The procedure for cleaning the probe will now be described.
Remove the earpiece then loosen the screw collar so that the tip of the probe can
be separated from the main body.
Use thin nylon threads to clean the three channels in the tip of the probe. Insert
the thread into each of the channels in turn, from the base, and push through until
it can be pulled out from the top.
