  • Publication number: 20240261493
    Abstract: A system for cleaning an ear of a user is provided. The system includes a fluid reservoir, a temperature sensor, a portable applicator, a fluid pump, and a controller. The fluid reservoir contains a fluid. The temperature sensor generates a temperature control signal corresponding to a fluid temperature of the fluid. The temperature sensor may include a thermistor. The portable applicator includes an output nozzle connected to the fluid reservoir via a fluid supply line. The portable applicator may include an output flow control trigger controlling an output flow of the fluid from the output nozzle. The fluid pump controls a flow of the fluid from the fluid reservoir to the portable applicator via the fluid supply line. The controller is operatively coupled to the fluid pump. The controller adjusts the flow of the fluid based on the temperature control signal.
