Installation
Prior to switching the device on, please proceed with connecting the transducers required for testing.
The following is required for performance of the main tympanometry tests:
the Probe plus the DD45 or TDH39 transducers for contralateral stimulation.
Connect the power supply cable to the device, checking to ensure that the cable is turned correctly to
connect to the power mains, then press on the rear switch (21) to power the device on.
According to the EN60601-1 Standard provisions, the device falls under class 1. It is therefore necessary that
the power grid, which it is connected, is provided with a grounding connection.
Parameter Setups
Once the device is on, proceed with the principal settings involved with test performance.
Press the F1 key (4) to access the setup menu. Via the adjustment knobs (3) or the down arrow, select the
PARAMETER SETUP function and then press ENTER (6). Use the side arrow keys (7) to select the various
options and/or to change selected options. Use the down arrow key to move to the next setup function.
On SETUP page, available options are grouped in separate sections.
Device general parameters
Language: changes the end-user interface language.
Date and time: changes the system date and time that is currently displayed.
Contra Refl ex: selects the type of transducers to be used for contralateral stimulation (DD45, TDH39 or INSERT).
Refl ex Up-Down: changes display of the patient response during Refl ex testing.
Autorun: if enabled, starting of the middle ear analyzer tests is automatic.
Pump reset key: if enabled, it provides for manual pressure reset in middle ear analyzer tests (Signal CH2).
Manual Refl exes: this option is only available for the Refl ex test in manual mode. If set on "level", by
pressing START (13), the test will start and the stimuli will be emitted in sequence with varying the level but
not the frequency. If set on "frequency" the stimuli sequence will be executed varying the frequency but
maintaining the level unvaried.
Tymp Protocol: 2 options available: Adult and Children. "Children" is the fastest way to execute the test,
both protocols guarantee the same accuracy.
Leakage Test: the leakage test parameters can be changed to set the appropriate sensitivity to check the
probe sealing into the ear.
Refl exes Threshold: the automatic refl ex recognition sensitivity can be settled to diff erent levels.
Single Graph: if active, the right and left tympanogram reports are printed separately with the internal
thermal printer. (R36M or R36M-PT only)
The setting entries can be confi rmed by pressing F5 (4).
Time and date settings can be stored by pressing F3 (4).
Press F1 to return to the main Test Selection page.
