1.2 Intended Use The MT10 is a handheld screening tympanometer offering Tympanometry and optional Ipsi reflex testing. The MT10 allows storing of data by printing (optional printer) or by transferring data to a computer (optional software module). The MT10 tympanometer is intended to be used by an audiologist, hearing healthcare professional, or trained technician in a quiet environment (tymp and reflexes).
MT10 Instruction for Use - English Date: 2012-05-01 Page 2/16 Warnings and Precautions WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury. CAUTION, used with the safety alert symbol, indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.
Keep carton for future shipment The MT10 comes in its own shipping carton, which is specially designed for the MT10. Please keep this carton. It will be needed if the instrument has to be returned for service.
Parts that are marked with this symbol are for single use only. Label to be found in the battery compartment beneath the battery. 2.4 Connections Infrared adapter (the MT10 has been tested with Actysis ACTIR2000U USB adapter and it is recommended by Interacoustics to use this device).
Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries. Four batteries are required. If the MT10 is to be used infrequently we recommend alkaline cells are fitted. NiMH batteries have a high self-discharge rate and are likely to need recharging if left unused for several weeks. To fit the cells remove the battery compartment cover on the base of the MT10.
The function of the left and right keys is usually shown on the bottom line of the display. When not performing a test the MT10 will switch off automatically if no key is pressed for 90 seconds. This time can be extended to 180 seconds in the CONFIGURATION menu.
