Thank you for purchasing the OtoClear®, powered by Aquabot®. This kit provides a simple, effective solution for patient safety, comfort, and compacted cerumen removal. The OtoClear ear irrigation tips direct water to the ear canal wall at a 30-degree angle, avoiding direct impact on the tympanic membrane.

OtoClear®, powered by Aquabot® Use Instructions

1. Clean the base by filling it half full with soapy water. Twist on the lid, shake to clean, and spray soapy water through the unit. Repeat with fresh water.
2. Fill the base to the 32 oz. mark on the 1000mL bottle or the 19 oz. mark on the 650mL bottle.
3. Attach the Aquabot to the top of the bottle and close firmly by rotating clockwise.
4. Grasp the OtoClear Tip and twist onto the luer lock fitting of the adapter until it stops.
5. Pump no more than 6 times. This will pressurize the unit to approximately 35 psi. Note the force required on the last pump to use as a guide for future charges to avoid over-pressurization.
6. To release water, firmly press the colored circle on the back of the trigger.
7. To depressurize the unit safely, hold it upside down with the weighted screen above the water line. Press the trigger to spray out compressed air.

WARNING: Failure to remove the OtoClear Tip risks cross-contamination between patients. The tip is designed for single-use.
