6 Operating instructions IA OAE suite
When operating the instrument, please observe the following general precautions:
1. Use this device only as described in this manual.
2. Use only the disposable Sanibel ear tips designed for use with this instrument.
3. Always use a new ear tip for each patient to avoid cross-contamination. The ear tip is not designed
for reuse.
4. Never insert the OAE probe tip into the ear canal without affixing an ear tip as omission may damage
the patient’s ear canal.
5. Keep the box of ear tips outside the reach of the patient.
6. Be sure to insert the OAE probe tip in a way which will assure an airtight fit without causing any harm
to the patient. Use of a correct and clean ear tip is mandatory.
7. Be sure to use only stimulation intensities acceptable to the patient.
8. It is recommended to conduct an OAE probe test at the beginning of each day to ensure that the
probe and/or cable is functioning correctly for DPOAE/TEOAE measurements.
9. Clean the probe tip regularly to ensure wax or other debris stuck in the probe tip does not affect the
measurement.
10. The presence of tinnitus, hyperacusis or other sensitivity to loud sounds may contraindicate testing
when high intensity stimuli are used.
