• Mic placement: Position the phone mic up by the nose. This maximizes the
distance between the microphone and the electrolarynx and stoma, so it does
not pick up stoma blast and electrolarynx buzzing.
13. Guidelines for demonstration use
The electrolarynx device is intended for use by a single patient. If the device is
to be used with multiple patients for demonstration and/or evaluation purposes,
the following precautions should be taken to reduce the risk of cross-infection.
13a. General guidelines
• Demonstration use of the device is intended for topical use on uninjured
skin for the purpose of identifying patient needs and preferences. It is intended
for short-term in-clinic use, and not for long-term use at home.
• The oral adapter and oral tubes are single-patient use only, and are not to be
reused between patients.
• The patient shall clean their hands and disinfect their hands with isopropyl
alcohol (IPA), or other suitable disinfectant.
• The sound head (including the sound button and foam ring) shall be replaced
between patients.
• The electrolarynx device shall be wiped down with 70% IPA before and
after use by a patient. Note that wiping down the device is never 100% safe
from cross-infection, but the risks are negligible when the device is used with
uninjured skin.
13b. Replacing the sound head:
Follow theses steps: (Illustration D)
1.Use a cloth moistened with disinfectant to wipe down the device. The wipe
should be moist, but not dripping with disinfectant. Begin wiping down the body
of the device. Be sure to apply light pressure and wipe the talk button with a
circular or twisting motion. After wiping down the body, wipe down the sound
head cap, being careful to not apply excess pressure that would cause the top
sound button to be dislodged.
2. Remove the sound head by unscrewing it.
3.The sound head should then be discarded.
4. Install a new Sound head to prepare the device for its next use.
• Be careful not to remove the silicone diaphragm underneath the sound
head. The silicone diaphragm should be retained in the groove on the coil's/
actuator's stem. (Illustration C)
• Be careful not to twist the coil/actuator. The wires should wind smoothly
around the coil/actuator. (Illustration C)
• If applicable: Make sure that the sound head Spacer is still installed. Replace
it if it is broken or missing, by installing it onto the device before installing the
new Sound-Head. (TTE/P)
