Caring for the Micro-Probe

OtoRead™ Support

The OtoRead™ micro-probe utilizes a disposable probe tube (probe tip) design. Removal and replacement of the probe tube is fast and easy, saving the clinician time spent on cleaning a contaminated probe tube.

The probe tube is designed to be disposed of and replaced when debris (e.g., wax, vernix etc) clogs the end that is exposed to the patient’s ear canal

The probe tube does not need to be replaced after each patient, but it is important to inspect the probe tube before each test to ensure it is clear and free of debris.

If you notice the following, remove the probe tube, dispose of it, and replace it with a new one:

Wax or debris is visible in the end of the probe tube after testing
