LEANING THE
YSTEM
Non-disposable parts of the system, including the transducers and insert phone tubes
which are in direct contact with the patient may need to be disinfected between patients.
Turn OFF the system and disconnect power before cleaning the instrument. Use a soft
cloth lightly dampened with cleaning solution to clean all exposed surfaces. DO NOT allow
liquid to contact the metal parts inside the transducers (e.g., earphones / headphones). Do
not permit solutions or disinfecting agents to seep into the electronic portions of the
system. Take special care around controls, connectors, and panel edges. Remove any dust
from the exterior of the system with a soft brush or cloth. Use a brush to dislodge any dirt
on or around the connectors and panel edges. Remove stubborn dirt with a soft cloth
slightly dampened with mild detergent and water. Wipe surfaces dry afterward. Do not use
instrument or transducers until they are completely dry.
Recommendations for cleaning and disinfection of the AudioStar Pro presented in this
document are not intended to replace or contradict policies in effect or procedures
required for infection control at the facility.
Cleaning and Disinfecting Agents
According to the recommendations from the CDC, audiometric equipment is non-critical
medical equipment and typically requires cleansing followed by low to intermediate level
disinfecting, depending on the nature of the contamination. Cleaning should be done with
a mild soapy detergent (such as dishwashing liquid) and a damp cloth, or an Endozime
Sponge followed by an application of EPA-registered hospital disinfectant. Do not use any
abrasive cleaners.
Use of a non-alcohol-based disinfectant is recommended for larger areas and headphones.
Non-alcohol-based products that contain the active ingredient referred to as quaternary
ammonia compound or hydrogen peroxide-based cleaner such as Oxivir Disinfectant
Wipes are recommended to clean the ear cushions, headset, and to wipe down the
machine. The quaternary ammonia compound and hydrogen peroxide are specifically
designed to disinfect rubber, plastic, silicone, and acrylic products which are commonly
used in hearing evaluation instruments.
Single-use Accessories
Disposable or single use supplies such as eartips for the insert earphones are
intended to be discarded immediately after use. Use of disposable items on
multiple patients can lead to cross-contamination and infection.
