at any time to cancel the test and return to the ear selection
menu.
Please note: Continuing with the test procedure will delete the
last recorded test results, stored in the short-term memory of the
instrument.
4.9.2. PERFORMING TYMPANOMETRY
Depending on the protocol selected, the test sequence will perform both tympanometry and acoustic reflex testing in
one run without removing the probe.
Please note: The protocol selected by default runs a tympanogram together with ipsilateral reflexes.
An instruction on the screen will guide you through the test
sequence. The test will start automatically by inserting the probe
into the patient’s ear.
Insert the probe into the test ear, the indicator LED b and c on the
device will flash alternatively, as well as the indicator light on the
probe which will alternate colour from yellow to green.
Once an adequate seal is detected the tympanogram
measurement is made. This takes about 3 seconds. It is important
not to move the probe and to ask the patient to remain very still
during the test.
TROUBLESHOOTING:
In rare cases, no seal can be established and the test sequence will
stay in the
EQUALIZE PRESSURE SCREEN . This situation can occur
for several reasons. Solution to this issue can be found in the
TROUBLESHOOTING SECTION .
