It is an irresponsible risk to clean eartips for re-use, as cleaning solution or wax can end up inside the
ear probe and give incorrect results.
Warning:
Never reuse disposable eartips. Eartips are cheap and any perceived cost saving will
not outweigh the risks to the device and more importantly, the patient.
Calibration
In order for the Kuduwave to operate correctly it is vital that it is calibrated correctly. eMoyo has the
equipment and necessary expertise to calibrate your Kuduwave. Please contact eMoyo to schedule
your next calibration.
Daily Calibration Verification
It is advisable to perform a biological test at the start of each day that the Kuduwave will be used.
Annual Calibration
Annual calibration is required. eMoyo will calibrate and return your Kuduwave to you in accordance with
your maintenance contract.
Note:
The Kuduwave software has been designed to automatically warn you when the minimum
calibration is due. Your device will be assessed annually to determine its serviceability before it is
calibrated. The Kuduwave users can expect a minimum service life of 5 years.
Note:
Environmental corrections are accounted for in the calibration of the Kuduwave. The device will
remain in calibration as long as the environmental recommended conditions are not exceeded. Namely
for combinations of temperature within the range of 15 °C to 35 °C, relative humidity within the range of
30 % to 90 % and ambient pressure within the range of 98 kPa to 104 kPa.
Ad Hoc Calibrations
Some states or countries require audiometers to be calibrated more than once a year, especially when
audiometers are used for mobile testing. Please make sure what the legislative requirements are for
your state or country. If you are ever in doubt whether the Kuduwave is in calibration it is recommended
to verify the calibration biologically. If you are still in doubt it is essential to do an electro- acoustic
calibration check.
Calibrations by Other Organizations
Due to the digital, robust and integrated design of the Kuduwave, chances of it going out of calibration
are very slim. If another organization wants to calibrate a Kuduwave, they may perform a typical
calibration process to verify that the thresholds and frequencies of the unit are correct. After completing
the calibration routine the calibration organization will not need to adjust any thresholds or frequencies.
A calibration certificate must be issued to show that the Kuduwave is within calibration limits. In the
unlikely event where the calibration shows limits outside acceptable limits, please contact eMoyo
immediately.
Storage and Shipping
Warning:
When shipping the Kuduwave please use the robust shock absorbing carry case to
