Jodi-Vac Hearing Aid Vacuum System Benefits
- Desiccator:
– Desiccator goes into vacuum removing atmospheric moisture in the chamber as well as in the hearing instrument and the transducers.
– Plate is heated, 105 degree to 107 degress F
– A dry (blue) desiccant will remove two good sized drops of water in 20 minutes, much more than moisture, less than dripping wet
– Desiccant can be rejuvenated by microwaving. Blue is serviceable, pink is moisture laden.
– Desiccator indicator light is on when heater is on under vacuum - Air Pressure:
– ISO LuerLoc assembly is permanently attached to blue tubing.
– 3 reinforced flexible air pressure reamers used as a vent reamer, excluding pressure vents.
– Blue coiled tube extends to a full length of 35″.
– Air pressure also serves to dry and blow debris from battery compartments, volume controls, push buttons and switches. - Vacuum:
– Medical grade LuerLoc filter is easily replaceable.
– Wax/Debris collects in filter and a busy office should get six months of use from one filter.
– Vacuum filters are not serviceable, replace when full.
– The reusable ball in the filter is a flow indicator; an unclogged needle sends the ball towards the black connector.
– Three needles specifically designed for hearing instruments and two reamers are included.
– These needles range in size to efficiently clean large earmolds, ITE, ITC, CIC, RIC and thin tubes.
– Blue coiled tubing extends to a full length of 35″.
