Warnings
Throughout this manual the following meaning of warnings, cautions and notices are used: 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. NOTICE is used to address practices not related to personal injury.
1. If the instrument is damaged during transport, a hazardous situation may exist and the instrument should be repaired and or/safety inspected before use. 2. Before connecting the instrument to mains power, be sure that the local mains voltage corresponds to the voltage labelled on the instrument. 3. Do not place the instrument next to a heat source of any kind, and allow sufficient space around the instrument to ensure proper ventilation. 4. Keep small parts (probe tip and ear tips etc.) outside the reach of children to prevent accidental swallowing. 5. Due to patient safety, the Eclipse system must not be used during surgery if High Frequency cutting (diathermy) is used. Please disconnect the Eclipse from the patient in this case. 6. There might be a risk of safety hazard when using simultaneously connected patient equipment. For example, the use of defibrillators may damage or break the Eclipse device. The Eclipse device may also absorb some of the defibrillator energy, resulting in an insufficient defibrillator treatment. Please disconnect the Eclipse device when defibrillators are used. 7. If the Eclipse is connected to one or more other devices with medical CE marking, to make up a system or pack, the CE marking is valid for the combination only if the supplier has issued a declaration stating that the requirements in the Medical Device Directive article 12 are fulfilled for the combination. The summation of electrical leakage currents, when several pieces of equipment are interconnected, may cause a safety hazard. 8. External equipment intended for connection to signal input, signal output or other connectors shall comply with relevant IEC standard (e.g. IEC 60950 for IT equipment and the IEC 60601 series for medical electrical equipment). In these situations the use of an optical isolator is recommended to fulfill the requirements. Equipment not complying with IEC 60601-1 shall be kept outside the patient environment, as defined in the standard (at least 1.5m from the patient). 9. Any person who connects external equipment to signal input, signal output or other connectors has created a system and is therefore responsible for the system complying with the requirements of IEC 60601-1. If in doubt, contact your service technician or local representative for help. 10. This instrument does not incorporate any separation devices at the connections for PC’s, printers, active speakers etc. Use of an optical USB is required to fulfill patient safety.
Eclipse Instructions for Use - EN
Page 5
11. When the instrument is connected to a PC and/or other items of equipment, ensure that the total leakage current does not exceed the safety limits, in order for the dielectric strength, creepage clearances and air clearances to be fulfilled according to the IEC/ES 60601-1. 12. When the instrument is connected to a PC and/or other electrical items, do not touch the Eclipse or other connected electrical items, and the patient simultaneously. 13. To avoid the risk of electric shock, this equipment must only be connected to supply mains with a protective earth. Do not use any additional multiple socket-outlets or extension cords. 14. Do not disassemble or modify the product as this may impact the safety and/or performance of the device. 15. Interacoustics will make available on request circuit diagrams, component part lists, descriptions, calibration instructions, or other information that will assist service personnel to repair those parts of this equipmenthat are designated by Interacoustics as repairable by service personnel
1. Only skilled and qualified personnel may use the Eclipse device. 2. Do not switch the power on/off for the Eclipse device while a patient is connected. 3. The specifications for the device are valid if the device is operated within the environmental limits. 4. Although the Eclipse device meets the requirements of the IEC60601-1-2 EMC standard, you should not use cell phones, pagers or any kind of radio transmitters in close vicinity to the Eclipse device, as this may disturb the measurements and lead to prolonged test times or, in severe cases, make testing impossible. 5. When connecting the device to its accessories, use only the dedicated socket as described in the section “Eclipse back panel”. If the wrong socket is selected for the transducer, the stimulus sound pressure level (SPL) will not meet the calibrated level as set in the user interface and this could lead to an incorrect diagnosis. 6. Never insert the OAE/ABR probe into the ear canal without an ear tip mounted. 7. To ensure safe operation and valid measurements, the Eclipse device and its accessories must be checked and calibrated at least once a year or more frequently, if required by local regulations or if there is any doubt about correct Eclipse device function. 8. Use only sound stimulation intensities that will be acceptable to the patient. 9. The transducers (headphones, bone conductor etc.) supplied with the device are calibrated to this specific device - exchange of a transducer requires a new calibration. 10. It is recommended that parts which are in direct contact with the patient (e.g. the probe) are subjected to standard infection control procedures between testing patients. This includes physically cleaning and use of an approved disinfectant. The individual disinfecting agent’s manufacturer's instructions should be followed to maintain appropriate levels of infection control. 11. Ensure that the right/left transducer is connected to the corresponding ear of the patient and that the correct test ear is selected from within the user interface.
Eclipse Instructions for Use - EN
Page 6
12. Single use items such as ear tips and electrodes should not be reused. Reuse of such items can lead to the spread of infection from patient to patient.
1. The LBK15 unit is not valid for performing a functional check of ASSR and ABRIS due to the nature of ASSR algorithms. For functional testing (detection of false passes), a patient must be connected with electrodes, in the absence of a stimulus (disconnected transducer). 2. Within the European Union it is illegal to dispose electric and electronic waste as unsorted municipal waste. Electric and electronic waste may contain hazardous substances and therefore has to be collected separately. Such products will be marked with the crossed-out wheelie-bin shown below. The cooperation of the user is important in order to ensure a high level of reuse and recycling of electric and electronic waste. Failing to recycle such waste products in an appropriate way may endanger the environment and consequently the health of human beings.
Outside the European Union, local regulations should be followed when disposing of the product after its useful life.

Hardware installation
When connecting the Eclipse to the mains supply and to a computer, the following warnings must be observed:
1. The Eclipse contains a built-in, medically approved safety transformer and must, in all cases, be connected to a wall outlet with a proper ground. 2. The Eclipse should not be connected to an external safety transformer as this is not required and may cause excess noise in the recordings. 3. If a connection is made to standard equipment such as a printer or network, special precautions must be taken in order to maintain medical/patient safety. 4. All contact between the conductive parts of electrodes or their connectors, including the neutral electrode and other conductive parts including earth must be avoided. 5. Avoid any mixing of cables ex. USB cables/power cord etc. mixed up with the electrode/Preamplifier cable used for the EP system. 6. To maintain electrical safety during the lifetime of the instrument, a safety check must be made regularly according to IEC 60601-1, Class 1, type BF if used for ABR measurements. For OAE measurements the instrument must be tested according to IEC60601-1, Class I, Type B. 7. DO NOT connect the Eclipse hardware to the computer before the software has been installed! 8. When the Eclipse is connected to a patient using surface electrodes and to a computer which is connected to a power outlet and/or is connected to a printer or a network, the electrical/patient safety is no longer applicable without the use of an optical USB isolator. Contact your local distributor to purchase an optical USB isolator if required. 9. The following diagrams indicate how to ensure that the Eclipse is installed correctly and patient safety is maintained.

Grounding the patient bed
The ground plug on the back of the Eclipse can be used to further reduce noise in the test environment during evoked potential testing. 1. Unscrew the Ground outlet bolt from the back of the Eclipse. 2. Attach the looped end of the ground wire around the metal screw and reattach the bolt. 3. Attach the clamp at the other end of the wire to either the patient bed or chair used during evoked potential testing. Ensure it is connected to a conductive metal part (unpainted) such as screw or bolt on the bed/chair. Please consult with a medical device safety specialist if in doubt.
