Between patients

In between patients, the silicone tip of the instrument stylus should be inspected for wear and wiped down with a sanitary disinfectant such as Isopropyl Alcohol 70% or similar substance appropriate for external use on humans.

Cleaning the exterior housing and grip

Cleaning is the only maintenance recommended to be performed by owner. Cleaning the device can be accomplished by wiping with a dry cloth.

Changing (alternating) stylus tips

The Impulse and Impulse iQ Adjusting Instrument® come standard equipped with interchangeable single stylus and cervical and lumbar dual styluses. The styluses are held in place by a small black o-ring found on the shaft of the stylus. To remove a stylus, simply grasp the instrument housing firmly and pull the stylus out of its compression fitting – there will be an audible pop, but, don’t worry – it’s perfectly normal.

Stylus o-ring lubrication

  1. Remove the Cap
    Carefully take off the plastic top from the oiler. The cap is cone-shaped and black in color.
  2. Position the Oiler
    Hold the oiler at approximately a 45-degree angle to the surface of the o-ring you wish to lubricate.
  3. Dispense Lubricant
    Observe the tip of the oiler:
  • If no lubricant appears, gently squeeze the oiler.
  • A small droplet of oil should begin to form at the tip.
  1. Apply to O-ring
    Lightly touch the droplet to the o-ring and move the oiler around the surface to distribute the lubricant.
  2. Even Out Lubrication (Optional)
    Take a separate stylus and gently press its o-ring against the lubricated o-ring.
    Move it in a circular motion to help distribute the lubricant evenly.
    ⚠️ Be careful not to touch the metal parts of the stylus together, as this may cause excess grease to transfer onto surfaces where it’s not wanted.
