Performance Verification of the Kuduwave™
To test the Kuduwave hardware, plug in the device and perform
(built in calibration verification
tool). This will also indicate any performance issues. Report any faults found to your distributor.
Disconnecting the Kuduwave™
If it is required that the Kuduwave be disconnected, ensure all test data is saved and close the software.
The USB cables can then be unplugged. For safe storage and to extend the lifespan, please wind the
USB cables in large loops when returning to the case for storage.
Ear Inserts
Ear tips must be firmly attached to the plastic tubes using the stainless steel
couplers or the plastic probe designed for silicone eartips. eMoyo will not be held
liable for any complications if eartips are reused without following the cleaning and
maintenance protocol: After each use, wash and rinse with warm soapy water, then
soak in a 70% alcohol solution for 5 minutes. Once washed, check all water droplets
are dry. If not, take a cotton bud and remove leftover water before use.
USB Patient Response Button
Connect the USB cable of the response button to either one of the ear cup USB
ports, or into a third USB port in the PC. A light will pulse (come on and switch off
again) if connected correctly.
Note: Not all Kuduwaves are powered the same by different laptops and the
response button may not work when plugged into the ear cup USB port. Use the
response button in the laptop port in these cases.
Positioning the Kuduwave™ Headset
When not in use, place the headset on a stable surface. Cleaning and disinfection
can be done with cleaning wipes which are intended for cleaning plastics that
comply with EN1276.
Although there are a number of ways to position the Kuduwave correctly on the patient’s head, the
following technique is recommended:
Step 1: Initial Position
Gently place the Kuduwave headset on the patient’s head, resting just above
both ears. Ensure the headset is positioned correctly i.e. the left ear cup
(indicated by a Blue LED light) must be on the patient’s left hand side and the
right ear cup (indicated by a Red LED light) must be on the patient’s right hand
side.
Step 2.1: Insert Foam Eartips
Squeeze and roll the foam tip down to its smallest diameter using your thumb
and index finger. Pull the ear by the pinna up and back for adults (pull the pinna
down for children), and insert the foam tip into the ear canal. Ensure that the
