4 Preparing for testing
4.1 Preparing AccuScreen
• Follow the instructions in Getting Started with AccuScreen, 20 .
• You can download patient data in advance from the AccuLink database (see the AccuLink User Manual).
• See Testing with AccuScreen, 35 on how to proceed with the specific tests.
4.2 Preparing the equipment
Every day before you start testing on patients, we recommend that you perform whichever quality tests that may be
necessary to make sure that probe, electrode cable and ear coupler cable function correctly. See Quality Tests
, 58 .
Note: Insert only clean probe tips in the test cavity.
See 11.4.1 Cleaning the built-in test cavity , on page 73 .
4.2.1 Preparing the probe for testing
Inspect the probe for deterioration (color changes, surface changes) of the reusable probe parts before every usage. If
deterioration occurs, contact your distributor.
4.2.2 Connecting the probe
Note: The probe socket is intended to connect the ear probe or ear coupler to AccuScreen. No other device may be connected to
this socket.
1. Place AccuScreen face down.
The probe plug sleeve and the coloring around the probe socket are blue.
2. Align the ridges on the plug with the notches in the blue-bordered socket on the top end of AccuScreen.
3. Gently insert the probe plug into the probe socket. The plug does not require force to be inserted properly.
Disconnecting the probe
Note: Do not pull the plug by the cable when you disconnect the probe. Instead, pull the sleeve of the grey
connector.
When disconnecting the plug, do not twist it. Instead, hold the sleeve of the plug and release it by pulling it straight out of
the socket.
The probe will not be released if you pull anywhere else than on the sleeve of the plug.
