  • Page 5: Introduction

    1 Introduction Intended Use The Titan with IMP440 Impedance System is an electroacoustic test instrument that produces controlled levels of test tones and signals intended for use in conduction diagnostic hearing evaluations and assisting in the diagnosis of possible otologic disorders, It features tympanometry and acoustics reflex.

  • Page 6: Safety Notes

    1. Use this device only as described in this manual. 2. Use only the disposable Interacoustics ear tips designed for use with this instrument. 3. Never insert the probe tip into the ear canal without affixing an ear tip as omission may damage the patient’s ear canal.
  • Page 7 7. 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. 8. When presenting contralateral stimuli using headphones – do not try to conduct measurements without the MX41 cushion in place.

    To install the printer connection you switch on the Titan and press Protocol | My Titan | Printer | Search. When the search is completed, select the serial number and/or type of printer and press Select. Note that most HP printers, according to their manuals, allow direct printing through a USB connection. Connecting the Titan directly through USB will NOT allow you to print.

  • Page 18: Charging The Battery

    Keeping the spare battery in the cradle charging compartment means you will always have fully charged spare battery. Interacoustics provides a medically approved mains power supply (ASA30M-0301) to be used for charging the Titan. A DC USB adaptor can be used to connect the Titan to the medically approved mains power supply (ASA30M-0301) when the cradle is not in use.

    Note: If you want to run contralateral reflex measurements via the PreAmp, you will need a contra phone ID transducer using the Omnetics plug. The contra phone that connects to the (IMP/OAE) shoulder box uses a different plug and is not compatible with the PreAmp. Please contact your dealer if you require a PreAmp compatible contralateral headset (ID transducer).

  • Page 32: Placing And Using The Shoulder Box Or Preamplifier

    For more stable testing, we recommend using an extension cord with a mushroom shaped ear tip. Make sure that this ear tip inserts completely into the ear canal. Mushroom shaped ear tips allow you to test ‘hands free’ from the Titan. This reduces the chance of contact noise disturbing the measurement. As an indication, the following chart predicts which ear tip size can be used for patients of a certain age.
