Amplivox Ltd. is aware that safety rules within individual organizations vary. If a conflict exists between the instructions in this manual and the rules of the organization using this instrument, the more stringent rules should take precedence. -
Page 11: Environmental Factors
As with all instruments of this nature the measurements taken will be influenced by significant changes in altitude & pressure. The Otowave 302 tympanometer must be re-calibrated if it is to be used at elevations greater than 800 m above mean sea level. -

Page 13: Measuring Security
UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION 2.3.7. MEASURING SECURITY To guarantee that the Otowave 302 works properly, the instrument should be checked and calibrated at least once a year. The transducers supplied with the tympanometer are specifically calibrated with it; if these transducers are changed recalibration will be required. -
Page 14: Connections
Please note: Only connect the accessories supplied with the instrument or supplied by Amplivox or an Amplivox distributor. These parts have been tested for use with the Amplivox Otowave 302 tympanometer for compliance with the standards IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-2. The use of accessories other than those specified may compromise compliance with these standards. -

Page 20: Principles Of Operation
3.2. PRINCIPALS OF ADMITTANCE MEASUREMENT The Otowave 302 measures the admittance of the tympanic membrane and middle ear by playing a continuous tone into the ear canal at either 226 Hz or 1000 Hz. The level of this tone is calibrated to give 85 dB SPL (226 Hz) or 79 dB SPL (1000 Hz) into a 2 ml cavity. -
Page 21: Acoustic Reflex Measurement
The reflex stimulus may be produced in the ear being measured (ipsilateral mode), the opposite ear (contralateral mode) or in both ears (ipsilateral mode followed by contralateral mode). For contralateral stimulation the reflex tone is produced in a separate transducer supplied with the instrument. D-0115696-C (OM038) – Otowave 302 Operating Manual... -

Page 58: Appendix A - 1000 Hz Typanometry & Meatus Compensation
��_���� = ��_�������� − ��_���� D-0115696-C (OM038) – Otowave 302 Operating Manual... - Page 59 ��_�������� − ��_���� The baseline value (Y ) is the measured admittance of the ear when at maximum pressure (normally +200daPa for the Otowave 302). This approximates Y because the applied pressure reduces Y towards 0 (but not all the way to 0, otherwise it would not be possible to hear the probe tone at all; nonetheless the approximation is sufficient for clinical purposes).
-
Page 60: Calar Vs Vector Baseline
Although vector subtraction is the only correct solution at 1 kHz, it may be unfamiliar to users and therefore the Otowave 302 offers the option of selecting either scalar or vector baseline compensation for 1 kHz tympanograms. Use of scalar baseline compensation will give results similar to those from some other instruments and be comparable with publications that have used scalar baseline compensation. -
Page 61: Reference Point For Baseline Value
10.4. REFERENCE POINT FOR BASELINE VALUE An additional feature of the Otowave 302 not found on other screening tympanometers is that the user can decide whether to use 400 or + 200 daPa as the reference point for the baseline value. -
Page 62: Appendix B -Baseline Mode
11. APPENDIX B –BASELINE MODE 11.1. GENERAL The Otowave 302 can display tympanograms in a variety of graphical formats allowing the operator to choose the most appropriate for the patient under examination. This is achieved by altering the DISPLAY MODE and the meatus compensation (or BASELINE OFFSET). -
Page 63: 1000 Hz Tympanometry
COMPONENT MODE – YBG The Otowave 302 also provides a component display when using a 1 kHz probe tone where separate uncompensated Y, B and G traces can be shown. These may help to interpret the tympanograms and help to define the middle-ear pressure in cases where the Y display alone gives misleading or ambiguous conclusions. - Page 64 Copyright © 2018 Amplivox Ltd.
