 All additional equipment, which is connected to the
analog and digital interfaces of the unit, must meet the
requirements of relevant EN specifications (for inst. EN
60950 for data processing equipment and EN 60601 for
electrical medical appliances). In addition, configurations
must satisfy system specification EN 60601-1-1. When
additional equipment is connected to the signal input or
signal output section on the unit, the person making the
connection is deamed "a system configuration operator"
and as such is responsible for meeting the requirements
of system specification EN 60601-1-1. For answers to
additional questions, please contact your local specialist
supplier or GN Otometrics technical service.
 The irrigation jet must not get into contact with contaminated
material.
 Only use the warm water jet when a tube tip is installed!
 Take caution to avoid injury to the eardrum when intro-
ducing the water jet !
 For hygienic reasons jet connections must be changed
after each patient. This also prevents retrograde ger-
mination of the warm water system.
Use only for irrigation of auditory canal !
