4.
Examine the ear canal to determine the appropriate size eartip for the test
and position the eartip on the probe. Be certain that the eartip is pushed
as far down the probe tip as possible so that the eartip is flush with the tip
of the probe.
5.
Confirm that the green lamp on the probe box is blinking, which
indicates that the instrument is ready to begin the test.
6.
Insert the probe tip securely into the ear canal so that its opening is
completely covered with the eartip and there are no visible leaks.
7.
Begin the test by pressing the START button on the front panel (or the
button on the probe box). The starting pressure is set from the peak of
the marked tympanogram. If no tympanometric peak has been marked
then the default start pressure is set to 0 daPa.
8.
When the test begins, the systems checks for any leaks or occlusions and
adjusts the pressure to the starting pressure. Press the PRESENT button
to deliver the acoustic stimulus. This is indicated by the green lamp on
the probe box (and indicator on the device screen) changing from
blinking to steady.
9.
View ongoing test results on the graphic display area, and on the
pressure and admittance meters. After presentation of the stimulus, the
system is paused and waits for the next presentation (if threshold seek is
off).
10.
Adjust the level button as necessary and the press the PRESENT button
to start a new reflex. The user may abandon the testing by pressing the
STOP button at any point. If threshold seek is enabled, the level will
adjust automatically until a threshold is found or the maximum level is
reached. The start and stop levels are set in the settings menu – Settings
dialog and in the PC Config App.
11.
Upon completion of a stimulus, numeric values for maximum
compliance deflection (mmho) appear at the bottom of the graph near the
X axis.
12.
Pressing the STOP button ends the reflex test. Additional reflex data
cannot be stored to the tab. To save any of the reflex data as the
threshold, select waveform from the test data and press the Store button
on the test menu. The zoom function may be used to examine the
data more closely and call out and mark thresholds and no
responses.
