USING THE SIMULATED EARWAX
1. Select the ear to be examined.
2. Select the yellow or brown earwax.
3. Lightly shake the capped ear wax prior to using as some
settling of the material occurs.
4. Lightly squeeze the desired amount of simulated ear wax
into the ear replica. (See figure 4.)
5. Perform examination procedures.
6. Remove simulated earwax with a cotton swab prior to
storing.
CARE OF THE SIMULATOR
Normal soil accumulated on the surface of the simulator can
be removed with mild soap and lukewarm water. Use Nasco
Cleaner (LF09919U) to remove stubborn stains from the sim-
ulator. Simply apply to soiled area and wipe clean with a soft
cloth or paper towels. Return clean, dry replicas to the hard
carry case. For extended storage periods, store clean, dry rep-
licas and simulator in clear unprinted plastic for added protec-
tion. (See figure 5.)

CAUTIONS
• Handle ears carefully to prevent accidental tearing of the
soft material.
• DO NOT remove ear by pulling on the earlobe.
• Solvents or corrosive materials will damage
the simulator.
• Never place simulator or ears on any kind
of printed paper or plastic. These materials
will transfer indelible stains. Ballpoint pens
will also make indelible stains.
