Caution: This product is designed for use on hearing aids. DO
NOT USE ON THE HUMAN EAR.
Caution: To avoid the risk of electrical shock or serious injury
do not remove the white cover of this equipment. Service should
be performed by factory trained and authorized personnel.
BASIC OPERATION
The Ultra Vac was designed to give dispensers and technicians a
functional tool for repairing, restoring and maintaining hearing aids.
It is easy to use which makes it ideal for those who may be just
getting started and powerful enough for the demands of the most
experienced technician. A vacuum gauge has been mounted on the
front panel to indicate the vacuum pressure of the Drying Chamber
during use. The functions and applications for this product are:
Vacuum Wand - Used to extract ear wax and debris from
inside receiver tubes, microphone tubes, vents and battery
compartments.
Pulse Power - This feature dramatically improves the
performance of the Vacuum Wand for attacking deep or
stubborn debris accumulations.
Pressure Function - Used to blow air through the vacuum
wand and to clear clogged cleaning tips.

Drying Chamber - Displaces moisture trapped within a
hearing aid.
The system is turned on by pressing the function switches on the
front control panel. The operation of each function is explained
later in this manual. We recommend the system be turned off
when not in use for extended periods of time (especially
overnight).
The function switches on the front panel are labeled to easily indicate
which feature is being used. To maximize performance, the Drying
Chamber and Vacuum Wand cannot be used simultaneously. By
turning on one of these functions, the other will automatically be
turned off.
RECOMMENDED PROCEDURE
We recommend you follow the restoration steps listed below to
get the maximum benefit from the Ultra Vac.
Hearing Instrument Evaluation - It is good practice to
examine the instrument for obvious defects and discuss with
your patient any concerns they have with the operation of the
aid. Counsel patient on what you will be doing to improve or
correct the problem. If possible, test the condition of the
battery and if it is weak or dead, replace it. If the aid is dead
(or damaged), have the patient acknowledge this before
proceeding.
Remove Visible Wax - Using the cleaning tool kit provided
with the Ultra Vac, clean any large, visible accumulation of
cerumen from the instrument.
Drying Chamber - Place it in the Drying chamber to displace
and evacuate moisture vapor from within the aid.
Vacuum Wand - Use the Vacuum Wand to remove wax and
debris from the receiver tube, microphone inlet and battery
compartment. It is a good practice to do this even if you do
not see any debris. Many of the component failures in an aid
are caused by accumulation of micro-particles of debris. For
deep or stubborn accumulation, use PULSE POWER mode for
improved vacuum wand performance.
Pressure Function - Use this function to clear obstructed
vacuum needle tips and to blow debris from vent tracks and
battery compartments.
