Probe Test for TEOAE
Probe performance is crucial to TEOAE test results. We recommend that you conduct a probe test at the
beginning of each day before starting to test on patients to ensure that the probe is functioning correctly.
•
Before conducting the probe test, ensure that the probe tip is clean and free of wax and/or debris
•
Always conduct the probe test in a quiet test environment
•
Only use the recommended cavity for testing. Using a different type of cavity may either not detect
probe faults or may incorrectly indicate a faulty probe
3.6.1
Performing the Probe Test
1. Select the Probe Test TEOAE protocol on the handheld device or in the PC software.
2. Insert the probe tip without an ear tip attached into the Probe Test Cavity or the 0.5cc cavity
provided with the Titan.
3. Press the Start button and let the test run until it stops (approx. 30 seconds). Do not stop the
test manually.
4. If the probe is functioning correctly (no TE bands get a checkmark), it is possible to continue
with daily testing.
5. If error messages appear during testing or if one or more of the TE bands has a checkmark
above it at the end of the test, the probe test has failed. Check and clean the probe tip for
wax or debris and redo the probe test. If the probe test fails a second time, the Titan must
not be used to test on patients. Contact your local distributor for assistance.
