Earol Swim 10ml  Ref: BEA001-ESWIM
	Background & Safety The practice of dosing the auditory canal with pharmaceutical grade olive oil to soften compacted earwax prior to irrigation/syringing has long been established and is recommended by the UK's National Health Service The Earol product is a patented and registered, class 1, medical device which uses metered dose pump technology to deliver olive oil to the auditory canal originally for the express purpose of softening and/or preventing compacted earwax, pre and post ear syringing. The British National Health Service (NHS) recommended guidelines advocate the use of olive oil to facilitate this process. This lead to the innovation of Earol Swim. The product coats the outer ear, repelling water protecting the user from the chances of contracting swimmers ear caused by bacteria and fungi in the water. Olive Oil pump spray has been designed to dispense olive oil in a 50mcl directed mist. It maximizes the use of the 50mcls of oil per dose by finely dividing the oil. This adheres readily to the walls of the canal and wax ensuring that the whole area is covered in a thin coating of oil. This ensures that the oil doesn't leak out of the ear Benefits of using Earol Swim Device Time to administer oil: Olive oil spray is quick and easy to use and its fine spray coats and adheres to the auditory canal and wax deposits Spoon/ dropper is non-user intuitive: Olive oil pump spray is highly patient intuitive and locates very readily into the outer ear. The product is then actuated as per a simple pump spray. Dropper cleanliness: The otological actuator can be removed and easily cleaned. There is no possibility of the product remaining in the actuator as all product is formed through the actuator when the product is actuated. Dropper health and safety: Olive oil spray has a standard otological actuator, which has been ergonomically design to fit the outer ear without any health and safety risk to the patient or the eardrum. The actuator is made of soft plastic eradicating any chance of harming the user. Spillage of an open bottle: The Olive oil pump spray is in a sealed pack, hence spillage is impossible Bottle must be opened to use: The Olive Oil pump spray has a metering valve crimped in place, hence the olive oil is not exposed to external conditions and hence microbiological ingress is eradicated. Bottle is robust: The bottle comes in a waterproof protective case that however the bottle device is extremely robust can be dropped at heights of 1 m onto hard surfaces without breaking. The device is highly patient intuitive and easy to use. Simply place the actuator in the opening to the auditory canal, tilt ones head slightly to one side and depress the actuator once. This can be followed by manipulation of the tragus. No cotton wool wad is required to be placed into the ear and the user doesn't suffer any further hearing impairment from either the cotton wool wad or swamping of the auditory canal with product. There is no requirement for other persons to be present on application. The device presents itself as a pharmaceutically elegant, 10ml preparation of semi viscous, translucent oil within a 15ml transparent glass bottle.
