General Maintenance Procedures
The performance and safety of the instrument will be maintained if the following recommendations
for care and maintenance are observed:
1
It is recommended that the instrument go through at least one annual service, to ensure that
the acoustical, electrical and mechanical properties are correct. This should be carried out by
an authorized repairer in order to guarantee proper service and repair.
2
Before connection to the mains network, be sure that the local mains voltage corresponds to
the voltage labeled on the instrument. Always disconnect the power cord if the instrument is to
be opened for inspection.
3
Observe that no damage is present to the insulation of the mains cable or the connectors and
that it is not exposed to any kind of mechanical load that could involve damage.
4
For maximum electrical safety, turn off the power from a mains powered instrument when it is
left unused.
5
Do not place the instrument next to a heat source of any kind, and allow sufficient space
around the instrument to ensure proper ventilation.
6
To ensure that the reliability of the instrument is maintained, we recommend that the operator
at short intervals, for instance once a day, performs a test on a person with known data. This
person could be the operator.
7
If the surface of the instrument or parts of it are contaminated, it can be cleaned using a soft
cloth moistened with a mild solution of water and detergent or similar. The use of organic
solvents and aromatic oils must be avoided. Always disconnect the mains power adaptor and
battery during the cleaning process, and be careful that no fluid enters the inside of the
instrument or accessories.
8
After each patient examination, ensure that there has been no contamination to the parts
touching the patient. General precautions must be observed in order to avoid cross-
contamination of disease from one patient to another. If ear cushions or ear tips are
contaminated, it is strongly recommended to remove them from the transducer before they are
cleaned. Water should be used for frequent cleaning, but in the case of severe contamination
it may be necessary to use a disinfectant. The use of organic solvents and aromatic oils must
be avoided.
9
Great care should be exercise when handling transducers, as rough handling, for example
dropping onto a hard surface may break or damage the parts.

Unpacking and Inspection
Check the box and its contents for damage
When the instrument is received, please check the shipping box for rough handling and damage. If
the box is damaged it should be kept until the contents of the shipment have been checked
mechanically and electrically. If the instrument is faulty, please contact your local distributor. Keep
the shipping material for the carrier's inspection and insurance claim.
Keep the carton for future shipment
The Titan comes in its own shipping carton, which is specially designed for the Titan. Please keep
this carton. It will be needed if the instrument has to be returned for service.
If service is required please contact your local distributor.
