3 Operating Instructions
The instrument is switched on by pressing either the R or L button on the handheld unit. When operating the
instrument, please observe the following general precautions:
1. Use this device only as described in this manual.
2. Use only the disposable Sanibel ear tips designed for use with this instrument.
3. Always use a new ear tip for each patient to avoid cross-contamination. The ear tip is not designed
for reuse.
4. Never insert the probe tip into the ear canal without affixing an ear tip as omission may damage the
patient's ear canal.
5. Keep the box of ear tips outside the reach of the patient.
6. Be sure to insert the probe tip in a way which will assure an airtight fit without causing any harm to
the patient. Use of a correct and clean ear tip is mandatory.
7. Be sure to use only stimulation intensities acceptable to the patient.
8. When presenting contralateral stimuli using the insert phones – do not insert the phones or in any
way try to conduct measurements, without a correct insert ear tip in place.
9. When presenting contralateral stimuli using headphones – do not try to conduct measurements
without the MX41 cushion in place.
10. It is recommended to conduct a probe test at the beginning of each day to ensure that the probe
and/or cable is functioning correctly for TEOAE measurements.
11. Clean the probe tip regularly to ensure wax or other debris stuck in the probe tip does not affect the
measurement.
12. Clean the headphone cushion regularly using a recognized disinfectant.
13. Contraindications to testing include recent stapedectomy or middle ear surgery, a discharging ear,
acute external auditory canal trauma, discomfort (e.g, severe otitis externa) or occlusion of the
external auditory canal. Testing should not be performed on patients with such symptoms without a
medical doctor's approval.
14. The presence of tinnitus, hyperacusis or other sensitivity to loud sounds may contraindicate testing
when high intensity stimuli are used.
