Propulse Cleaning Guidelines

Do not attempt to clean the Jet Tip. Use one Propulse Disposable 'One Use' Jet Tip / Propulse Single Use QrX™ per patient treatment and discard to clinical waste after use as this reduces the risk of cross infection between patients.

External cleaning should be done by hand, wiping with a damp cloth only. Apply liquids to cloth not the unit. Do not immerse the unit in water. Mild detergents and disinfectants may be used externally.

Internal cleaning of the Propulse II / III / NG Ear Irrigator pump and waterway must be carried out PRIOR to use.

  1. Place one Propulse Cleaning Tablet into the reservoir, fill with warm water to the 500ml mark on the reservoir and wait for the tablet to completely dissolve
  2. Run the Propulse Ear Irrigator for a few seconds to fill the pump and hose
  3. Leave to stand for 10 minutes
  4. Empty the reservoir of the solution, then fill the reservoir with cool boiled water or well run cold tap water and operate the Propulse to flush through the whole system to ensure no cleaning solution remains
  5. This cleaning procedure should be used prior to each days usage of the Propulse Irrigator
  6. DO NOT leave the solution in the unit for longer than stated

Cleaning Tablets for the Propulse Electronic Ear Irrigator - the importance of using the correct strength cleaning solution cannot be overstated. A solution that is too strong will in time damage the Propulse and one that is too weak will fail to provide the correct level of cleaning and decontamination. To this end the manufacturer has introduced a simple to use, effective specific strength CHLOR-CLEAN™ decontamination tablet. Propulse Cleaning Tablets are available from your normal Propulse supplier or direct from Mirage (UK Only).

Please Note: Damage caused to your Propulse Ear Irrigator by not using the recommended cleaning agent will invalidate your warranty.

Other instruments used with the Propulse should be cleaned according to local guidelines.
