Use with the Bionix OtoClear Ear Lavage System.
Description
Bionix OtoClear® Ear Irrigation Tips & Systems help healthcare workers provide safe and comfortable ear irrigation without the backsplash, at half the cost of a self-constructed device.
Problem: Traditional ear irrigation sprays water directly into the ear canal, which can be painful, dangerous and messy.
Solution: OtoClear® Ear Irrigation Tips, with Gentle Touch Design, directs water to the ear canal wall with three divergent streams, instead of directly at the Tympanic Membrane.
Result: A safe, well tolerated, and clean ear irrigation tip at half the cost of other irrigation methods.
Step 1 Grasp the OtoClear tip and twist onto the luer lock fitting of the delivery device until
it stops.
Step 2 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.
Step 3 Prime the unit by discharging into a sink.
Step 4 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.
Step 5 Place a basin beneath the outer ear to capture draining effluent.
Note: The OtoClear tip directs the water toward 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.
Step 6 Reexamine the ear canal. Repeat the irrigation procedure as needed. Sometimes a large
plug of wax will not exit through the portal.
Step 7 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
