USE OF EQUIPMENT AFTER TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
Please make sure that the instrument is functioning correctly before use. If the instrument has been stored in
a cold environment (even for short period of time), please allow the instrument to become acclimatized. This
can take long time depending on the conditions (such as environmental humidity). You can reduce the
condensation by storing the instrument in its original packaging. If the instrument is stored under warmer
conditions than the actual use conditions no special precaution is required before use. Always ensure proper
operation of the instrument by following routine check procedures for audiometric equipment.

HARDWARE INSTALLATION
Refer to Section 11 for important information regarding the connection of non-medical electrical
equipment to medical electrical equipment.
The audiometer is powered and controlled by a computer (PC) using software supplied for this
purpose. This software must be installed before the audiometer is connected to the PC.
All other connections should be made before connecting the audiometer to the PC.
A USB cable is provided to connect the Otosure to a PC. The connected port on the PC must be to USB
specification 1.0 or 2.0. Connect the headset and the patient response switch to the Otosure and then make
the connection from the Otosure to the PC. No specific warm-up time is required although the device
registration to the PC might take a short time to complete.
Please note:
Please refer to Section 4 for instructions on how to install the software and drivers, how to
carry out the first-time connection to a PC, and how to undertake a basic operational check to ensure the
audiometer is functioning correctly.
