INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Amplivox CA850 Audiometer, an automatic screening instrument that
incorporates a number of innovative features making it an ideal instrument for use in today's health care
environment. It will give many years of reliable service if treated with care.
1.1
INTENDED APPLICATIONS
The CA850 Audiometer is designed for use by audiologists, general practitioners, hearing aid dispensers and
child health professionals.
Capable of undertaking automatic tests based on the Hughson and Westlake method (“Computer Test”) or
the Bekesy method (“Bekesy Test”), it can also be used for manual audiometry, but it is not intended for use
to determine the full extent and scope of a
patient’s hearing deficiency.
Audiometric and patient data may be printed using a connected printer, stored in the internal database,
exported directly to a computer for use in applications such as the Amplivox Audibase database software, or
stored on a USB memory device (e.g. USB memory stick) with the option of encrypted data, for later transfer
to a computer.
Entering a patient’s previous test details (e.g. from paper records) and then conducting a new test followed by
printing and/or saving the results may be accomplished easily.
