Operating instructions The instrument is switched on automatically when the USB cable is connected to both the Callisto™ and the PC. A green indication light on the Callisto™ will indicate that it is “ON”. When operating the instrument, please observe the following general precautions: 1.
3.1 AC440 using the tone screen elements The following section describes the elements of the tone screen. Menu provides access to Print, Edit, View, Tests Setup, and Help. Print allows for printing the data acquired during the session Save & New Session saves the current session in Noah or OtoAccess® and opens a new one.
Page 33
Fold an area so that it only shows the label or the buttons of that area. Unfold an area so that all buttons and labels are visible. Show/hide areas can be found by right mouse clicking on one of the areas.
Page 34
Edit Mode button activates the editing function. Left clicking on the graph will add/move a point to the position of the cursor. If right clicking on a specific stored point a context menu appears offering you the following options: Mouse controlled audiometry enables you to do the audiometry using the mouse only.
Page 35
After saving the session, changes can only be made within the same day until the date changes (at midnight). Note: these timeframes are limited by HIMSA and the Noah software, and not by Interacoustics. The Output list for channel 1 provides the option to test through head phones, bone conductor, free field speakers or insert phones.
Page 36
Sim/Alt allows toggling between Simultaneous and Alternate presentation. Ch1 and Ch2 will present the stimulus simultaneously when Sim is selected. When Alt is selected, the stimulus will alternate between Ch1 and Ch2. Masking indicates if channel 2 is currently in use as a masking channel and in that way makes sure masking symbols are used in the audiogram.
Page 37
The hardware indication picture indicates whether the hardware is connected. Simulation mode is indicated when operating the software without hardware. When opening the Suite the system will search for the hardware. If it does not detect the hardware then the system will automatically continue in simulation mode and the Simulation icon (left) will show in place of the connected hardware indication picture.
3.2 Using the speech screen The following section describes the elements of the speech screen: Input Level allow for adjusting the input level to 0 VU for the selected input. This ensures that correct calibration is obtained for the microphone. WR1, WR2, WR3 (Word Recognition) toggles between different speech lists if selected in the AC440 setup.
Page 39
The Output list for channel 1 provides the option to test through the desired transducers. Note that the system only shows the calibrated transducers. The Input list for channel 1 provides the option to select white noise (WN), speech noise (SN), microphone (Mic 1) and wavefile. Note that the background shading is according to the side that is selected, red for right and blue for left.
3.2.1 Speech audiometry in graph mode Graph mode presentation settings under “Test Symbols” in the lower left corner and in the presentation options (Ch1 and Ch2) shows where you can adjust the test parameters during the test. 1) The graph: The curves of the recorded speech graph will be displayed on your screen. The x-axis shows the intensity of the speech signal and the y-axis shows the score in percent.
3.2.2 Speech audiometry in table mode The AC440 Table Mode consists of two tables: The SRT (Speech Reception Threshold) table. When the SRT test is active, it is indicated in orange The WR (Word Recognition) table. When WR1, WR2, or WR3 is active the corresponding label will be orange The SRT table The SRT table (Speech Reception Threshold table) allows for measuring multiple SRTs using different test...
Page 42
The WR table The word recognition (WR) table allows for measuring multiple WR scores using different parameters (e.g. Transducer, Test Type, Intensity, Masking, and Aided). Upon changing Transducer, Masking, and/or Aided re-testing an additional WR entry will appear in the WR table.
PC keyboard shortcuts manager 3.2.3 The PC Shortcut Manager allows the user to personalize PC shortcuts in the AC440 Module. To access the PC Shortcut Manager: Go to AUD module │Menu │ Setup │PC Shortcut Keys To view the default shortcuts, click on the items in the left hand column (Common 1, Common 2, Common 3, etc.) To personalize a shortcut, click on the column in the middle and add the custom shortcut in the field on the right hand of the screen...
3.2.4 Technical specifications of the AC440 software Medical CE-mark: The CE-mark indicates that Interacoustics A/S meets the requirements of Annex II of the Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC. Approval of the quality system is made by TÜV – identification no. 0123.

(at midnight). Note: these timeframes are limited by HIMSA and the Noah software, and not by Interacoustics. Single Frequency button is a test that lets the fitter play a single frequency warble tone. Once clicked, the exact frequency, input and output can be seen on the graph.
Page 48
On Top Mode button converts the REM440 into an on top window that includes only the most essential REM features. The window is automatically placed on top of other active software programs such as the relevant hearing aid fitting software. Whilst adjusting the gain handles in the fitting software, the REM440 screen will at all times stay on top of the fitting screen allowing for easy curve comparison.
Page 49
Simple View/Advanced View buttons toggle between an advanced screen view (including the test and fitting prescription information on the right hand side) and a more simple view with a larger graph only. Normal and Reversed Coordinate System buttons enable you to toggle between reversed and normal graph displays.
