and

Overview of MADSEN Xeta

for a full description of unpacking instructions,

controls and socket connections.

Safety

This manual contains information and warnings which must be followed to ensure the safe performance of MADSEN Xeta.

Warning

•

Local government rules and regulations, if applicable, should be followed at all times.

•

Standards and safety

gives you an overview of device labelling and standards.

•

contains relevant warning notes.

Training

It is recommended that you read this manual and the OTOsuiteUser Guide, and make yourself familiar with MADSEN Xeta
before you begin testing a patient.

Note

•

If you are using the OTOsuite Audiometry Module with NOAH, we recommend that you are familiar with the

screens and functions provided in NOAH.

Terminology

The correct term for the person being tested/evaluated/serviced may depend on the setting in which the system is being
used. For this manual the term “Patient” was chosen, but you may configure OTOsuite to use another term.
