  • Page 7: Chapter 1 Safety: Warnings And Information

    Be sure to read this manual through completely, so that all of the features offered by the Trumpet instrument can be used to their full potential. In particular, be sure to read this chapter in its entirety, as it contains information and warnings that are of fundamental importance in ensuring safe and correct use of the device.
  • Page 8: Intended Use Of The Device

    Trumpet can be also an audiometer. An audiometer is a device that helps the operator in defining the patient’s auditory sensitivity by generating and delivering to the patient sound stimuli of different types and intensities for diagnostic purposes.
  • Page 9: Precautions

    Use only the power adapter supplied by Inventis s.r.l. The Trumpet is a medical device: if connected to a computer (or any external device) located within the "patient area" (as defined in EN 60601-1-1), this likewise must be a medical...
  • Page 10 (as habitually occurs in soundproof booth installations). If the transducers are not connected directly to the Trumpet , a new calibration procedure will be required before the instrument is used.
  • Page 11 1.4.4 Avoiding discomfort for the patient The Trumpet is capable of generating pure tones at an intensity potentially harmful to the patient (up to 90-100 dB SPL). Take particular care over the intensity of the tone before presenting it: studies have shown that exposure...
  • Page 12: Disposal

    ISPOSAL Like any other electronic device, the Trumpet contains certain extremely hazardous substances such as cadmium or mercury, albeit in extremely small proportions. If released into the normal refuse collection system without suitable preliminary treatment, these substances can cause serious damage to the environment and to health.
  • Page 13: Conformity

    ONFORMITY The Inventis Trumpet device is a class II device, in accordance with Annex IX of the medical devices directive 93/42/EEC as amended and supplemented by directive 2007/47/EC.

    The Trumpet is also a diagnostic audiometer that can be used to perform pure tone and speech audiometry by air or bone conduction.
  • Page 18 QuickSIN Ch. 2 AC, FF If the power adapter of the Trumpet is disconnected during an audiometry exam, only AC (Air Conduction) and BC (Bone Conduction) modes remain enabled, whereas FF (Free Field) mode is disabled. To enable free field mode, the power adapter must be reconnected (see Chapter 3 Installation).
  • Page 19: Accessories

    CCESSORIES The Trumpet can be supplied with all or only certain of the accessories described, depending on the module purchased. If a licence is purchased at a later time, then the corresponding accessories will also be supplied (those not included in the version of the instrument purchased initially).

  • Page 21 Insertion of probe tube The Trumpet comes with a set of probe tubes (REM licence). To insert this accessory, position the blue part of the tube over the metal cylinder that provides the housing for the tube (A in the illustration) and push in gently until fully home.
  • Page 22 The status LED will begin to blink in blue while searching for the Trumpet, and it will become orange when it is connected to it. If the Trumpet is not found (it is necessary that the device is connected to the power supply and to a switched-on PC via USB), the probes will continue to blink in blue and will turn off after some minutes.
  • Page 23 If the probes are sold together with the Trumpet they will already be paired with the device, otherwise before using them it is necessary to perform the...
  • Page 24 In case of any problemi it is possible to turn off the probes manually by keeping the button pressed for more than 10 seconds. They are however turned off every time that Trumpet is not in use by Maestro, unless they are in charge position.
  • Page 25: Preparation For An Rem Test

    2.2.4 Probe tube calibration (REM) The position for calibration of the probe microphones is indicated below (refer to Maestro – Fitting and hearing aid test functionalities – User Manual for further information on how to proceed with calibration). The tip of the probe tube must be inserted into the relative guides, as near as possible to the reference microphone, and the headset placed at around 1 metre from and in front of the active speaker.
  • Page 26 2.3.1 Measurements in the ear When preparing the patient for an REM test, observe the following procedure: Position the patient at around 1 metre from and facing the speaker of the instrument, and in such a way that the ears are placed approximately at the same height as the instrument.
  • Page 27 in the relative hole (if necessary, refer to heading 2.2.1 Probes (REM) for further information) and position the tube as illustrated below: In this way it will be possible to ensure the probe tube is kept straight when inserted into the auditory canal. If required for the measurement (i.e.
  • Page 28 Should it be impossible to rely on the cooperation of the patient for the entire duration of an REM test, measurements can be acquired by way of a coupler using the RECD unit, or a Drum instrument connected to the same PC as the Trumpet.
  • Page 29 RECD unit Before proceeding with the test, the speaker of the RECD unit must be equalized and the microphones calibrated. The operation requires that the coupler microphone and the reference microphone, suitably aligned one with another, should be positioned on the speaker of the RECD unit as illustrated in the image below.
  • Page 30 Adapter (1) is designed for use with ITE, ITC and CIC hearing aids. Make certain that hearing aid is securely connected by using adhesive insulating putty. Adapter (2) allows connection of BTE type hearing aids to coupler using an ear hook. Adapter (3) is designed for use with RIC hearing aids.
  • Page 31 Before a fitting procedure can be carried out using the RECD unit, the operator must always begin with the acquisition of an RECD curve, so that all the measurements made with the coupler can effectively simulate those normally obtainable in the ear. The software will enable the coupler measurement functionality only after the acquisition of an RECD curve has occurred.
  • Page 32 Once the measurement in the ear has been obtained, the response in the coupler can be measured. Electing to use a disposable tip for acquisition of the measurement in the ear, the response in the coupler can be measured only with the adapter (1): this situation is identified as the HA1 configuration.
  • Page 33 The response in the auditory canal can also be measured using the earmold of the patient's hearing aid, rather than a disposable tip. Likewise in this instance, the probe tube must first be inserted in the auditory canal of the patient as described in Heading 2.3.1, following which the mold, connected previously to the insert transducer, can be placed in the ear.
  • Page 34 HA1-mold configuration The second configuration, on the other hand, identified as HA2, requires the connection of the adapter (2) to the coupler. In this instance, the only action required is to connect the outlet of the adapter (2) to the insert transducer using the 25 mm silicone tube, as shown in the following figure: HA2-mold configuration...
  • Page 35 The only action required is to connect the Drum to the same PC as the Trumpet. For an overview of how the hearing aid is positioned correctly in the Drum instrument, refer to the Heading Position the hearing aid in the test chamber of the relative manual: Drum –...
  • Page 37: Chapter 3 Installation

    CHAPTER 3 Installation Whilst the installation of the Trumpet device is a relatively simple procedure, it should be entrusted to a person with the requisite skills. If the installation is not performed correctly, the system could be affected by safety problems when in use.

  • Page 45: Chapter 4 Maintenance

    Transducers are manufactured utilizing ultra-fragile diaphragms that could be damaged in the event of impact. Handle with care during maintenance operations. The Trumpet device do not require any special periodic maintenance other than calibration and normal cleaning, both of which are described in this chapter.
  • Page 46: Periodic Checks
