Pump Speed:
With AA222 there are four different pump speed settings:
Minimum (17 daPa/sec).
Medium (50 daPa/sec).
Maximum (>150 daPa/sec).
Automatic (see below).
A slow speed will be more time consuming, but may give more
detailed information. The horizontal displacement of the
tympanometric curve’s peak in the sweeping direction caused
by inherent hysteresis of the system and the middle ear itself
will be smaller with lower speed.
With the Automatic setting speed and precision is combined in
the tympanometric sweep. At the start of the sweep the pump
speed will be at maximum due to the fact that the information
derived from the first part of the sweep only contains little
information of diagnostic value.
The speed will gradually be reduced to minimum speed when
coming closer to the peak. Just before and just after the peak
the pump speed will be at minimum since this part of the
sweep diagnostically is the most important part. At the final
part of the sweep the speed will gradually increase again to
reach maximum at the end of the sweep.
