CONTENTS
Thank you for purchasing OtoClear®,
powered by Aquabot
OtoClear®, powered by Aquabot® provides a simple, yet effective, solution to patient safety, patient discomfort, and compacted cerumen removal. The key to this
system is the OtoClear ear irrigation tips that are attached to the end of the wand.
OtoClear ear irrigation tips direct water to the ear canal wall at 30 degree angles
avoiding directly impacting the tympanic membrane.
This manual is designed to explain the proper assembly instructions for the
entirety of the kit, including bottle assembly, cleaning, and tip placement.
Note: Any other use for the product outside of the intended use stated herein,
Bionix shall not be held liable.

Before you begin:

and location of any cerumen. Hard or impacted wax may require a cerumenolytic
agent.

membrane is perforated or if tympanostomy tubes are pres-
ent. Discontinue irrigation immediately if bleeding, irritation,
or other trauma to the ear canal or tympanic membrane.

USE INSTRUCTIONS:
Clean by filling base half full

with soapy water, twist on the
lid, shake to clean and then

This will pressurize the unit to
approximately 35 psi. Take note
of the force required on the last
pump and use this as a guide
for when to stop pumping on
future charges so that you do
not over-pressurize the unit.
To release water, firmly press
6
the colored circle on the back
of the trigger.
Attach Aquabot to top of
3
bottle and close firmly by
rotating clockwise.
The safest method to depressurize the unit is to
7
hold it upside down, while keeping the weighted
screen above the water line. Then press the
trigger to spray out compressed air.
WARNING: Failure to remove the OtoClear Tip
runs the risk of cross contamination between patients.
The tip is designed to be a single-use product.
