1.3.2

The PreAmplifer Cable

The PreAmplifier cable (used with IMP440/DPOAE440/TEOAE440/ABRIS440) detects which ID transducer is connected to it and will automatically read the calibration data from the ID transducer. The PreAmplifier cable allows you to change from one ID transducer to another at any time as they use the special Omnetics plug.

1.3.3

Contra Phone (for acoustic reflexes only)

The long clinical extension cable (shoulder box) used with IMP440/DPOAE440/TEOAE440 contains calibration data for only one contra phone. The specific contra phone is calibrated with the shoulder box and cannot be swapped over to another transducer without changing the calibration data in the shoulder box. Available contra phones for use with the Long Clinical Extension Cable (shoulder box): CIR55 (insert) EARTone3A (single insert) (US only) TDH39 (single headphone) DD45 (single headphone)

To run contralateral reflex measurements via the PreAmplifier cable, you will need a contra phone ID transducer using the Omnetics plug. The contra phone that connects to the (IMP/OAE) shoulder box uses a different plug and is not compatible with the PreAmplifier cable. Please contact your distributor if you require a PreAmplifier cable compatible contralateral headset (ID transducer). Available contra phones for use with the PreAmplifier cable: CIR55 ID transducer (insert) EarTone3A (single insert) ID transducer TDH39 (single headphone) ID transducer DD45 (single headphone) ID transducer

2.3 Hardware installation When connecting the Titan to the mains supply and to a computer, the following warnings must be observed:

1. External equipment intended for connection to signal input, signal output or other connector, shall comply with the relevant IEC standard (e.g. IEC 60950 for IT equipment and the IEC 60601 series for medical electrical equipment). In addition, all such combinations - systems - shall comply with the standard 60601-1, Safety requirements for medical electrical systems. Equipment not complying with IEC 60601 shall be kept outside the patient environment, as defined in the standard (at least 1.5 m from the patient). 2. 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.

Titan Instruction for Use – EN

3. 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.

4. For maximum electrical safety, turn off the power from a mains powered instrument when it is left unused. 5. In order to comply with IEC 60601, use of the direct power adapter to mains for the Able AP1310 thermal printer when it is connected to the cradle is not permitted. The cradle connection provides power for the thermal printer.

6. In order to maintain a high level of safety it is necessary to have the instrument and its power supply checked according to the medical electrical safety standard IEC 60601-1 on a yearly basis by a qualified service technician. 7. Do not disassemble or modify the product as this may impact on the safety and/or performance of the device.

1. DO NOT connect the Titan hardware to the computer before the software has been installed! 2. Storage in temperatures below 0C /32F and above 50C /122F may cause permanent damage to the instrument and its accessories. 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. Although the instrument fulfils the relevant EMC requirements, precautions should be taken to avoid unnecessary exposure to electromagnetic fields, e.g. from mobile phones etc. If the device is used adjacent to other equipment, caution must be taken to observe that no mutual disturbance appears. 5. The temperature of the battery pack in the Able AP1300 thermal printer will rise if it is powered through both the printer’s power supply and through the RJ12 cable to the cradle. Use either one or the other power connections, but never both, as this may severely reduce the lifetime of the battery. 6 Great care should be exercised when handling transducers, as rough handling, for example dropping onto a hard surface may break or damage the parts. 7. The connectors marked with the symbol shown below should not be touched without taking necessary ESD (electrostatic discharge) precautions.

The precautionary symbol: 8. The best way to protect the Titan from ESD is to avoid the build-up of electrostatic charges through the use of conductive footwear and floor coverings. Humidification of the air is also an effective preventive means. Failing to comply with these measures can cause the build-up of voltage levels of several thousand volts. If the Titan is subjected to such an ESD pulse, it may be necessary to remove the battery for a few seconds and then restart the instrument.

Within the European Union it is illegal to dispose of electrical and electronic waste as unsorted municipal waste. Electrical and electronic waste may contain hazardous substances and therefore have to be disposed of separately. Such products will be marked with the crossed-out wheelie-bin image shown to the left. User cooperation is important in order to ensure a high level of reuse and recycling of electrical and electronic waste. Failure 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.

2.5 Mounting a Cradle on the wall In order to mount the cradle to the wall you will need the following tools: a drill and a screwdriver. You may need to find out which plugs and screws are best to use depending on the material of the wall. Use the retaining plate of the cradle and a pencil to draw the exact position of the 3 screw holes on the wall. Make sure that the height is chosen in a way that you can still read the Titan display when it is placed in its cradle. Drill the holes and insert the plugs provided. Use three screws to mount the retaining plate to the wall.

Put the power cable, printer cable and USB cable behind the retaining plate. Attach these to the cradle before sliding the cradle onto the retaining plate.

Now the spare battery and Titan can be placed in the cradle.

LED 1 will show a solid green light when the Titan is placed inside the cradle and its battery is fully charged. LED 1 will flash green while the battery is charging. LED 2 will show a solid green light when the spare battery is placed inside the cradle and is fully charged. LED 2 will flash green while the battery is charging. LED 3 will show a solid green light when the cradle is attached to the mains power.

2.7 Calibration Cavities and Issues The Titan cradle has a built-in 2cc cavity which can be used for a quick validity check of the probe calibration. You can use the 0.2 ml, 0.5 ml, 2.0 ml and 5.0 ml cylinder cavities for more thorough checks. To perform a calibration check, select a protocol that measures a tympanogram. Do not use an ear tip! Place the probe tip completely into the cavity. Perform the measurement. Check the volume that was measured. The allowed tolerance in the volume measurement is ± 0.1 ml for cavities up to 2 ml and ± 5% for larger cavities. These tolerances are applicable for all probe tone frequencies. We strongly recommended calibrating each probe and contra phone at least once a year. If a probe is handled roughly (e.g. dropped onto a hard surface) it might need to be calibrated again. Calibration values of the probe are stored in the probe itself. Therefore probes can be exchanged at all times. The contra phone is, however, calibrated together with the shoulder box. You should not exchange contra phones from one shoulder box to another without calibrating.

2.9 Installing Bluetooth for direct printing with HP Officejet 100 Mobile Printer or a thermal printer When the Titan is used as a hand held unit it can use Bluetooth to directly print to either a thermal printer or to most Bluetooth PC printers. However, functionality with Bluetooth printers is only guaranteed for the HP Officejet 100 Mobile Printer and other printers compatible for use with the HP Bt500 Bluetooth dongle. In order to use Bluetooth for printing, the Titan print option needs to be setup for connecting to a printer (and not to a PC). Find this setting by switching on Titan and pressing Protocol | My Titan | Titan… Item Bluetooth Connection should be set to “printer”. Change the option by pressing the R or L key on the handheld unit. To install the printer connection you switch on the Titan and press Protocol | My Titan | Printer | Search. When the search is completed, select the serial number and/or type of printer and press Select. Note that most HP printers, according to their manuals, allow direct printing through a USB connection. Connecting the Titan directly through USB will NOT allow you to print. Note that the HP printers allow the use of a pin code for the use of Bluetooth. Titan will NOT be able to print to your printer if this function is used.

2.10 Installing Titan and its battery The battery compartment is opened by gently pressing the indentation and sliding the cover downwards.

Place the battery inside the compartment.

The Titan battery automatically starts charging when placed in the cradle if this is connected to mains power. Keeping the spare battery in the cradle charging compartment means you will always have fully charged spare battery. Interacoustics provides a medically approved mains power supply to be used for charging the Titan. A DC USB adaptor can be used to connect the Titan to the medically approved mains power supply when the cradle is not in use. Then the battery in Titan is charged within the same time frame as if it was placed in the cradle. The Titan battery can also be charged via connection to a PC with a USB cable provided. Testing can be performed while the Titan battery is charging. The following table gives an estimate of the charging time (ct) in hours for the battery. Be aware that negative numbers mean that the battery is discharging. Charge times for the spare battery in the cradle and the battery in the Titan while placed in the cradle are the same.

2.11 Changing Probes and Extension Cords on the Titan The Titan probe can be connected in four ways to the device: 1) directly to the Titan (IMP440/WBT440 only) 2) using the short extension cable (IMP440/WBT440/DPOAE440/TEOAE440) 3) using the long clinical extension cable with the shoulder box (for OAE & IMP) 4) using the PreAmplifier cable (for OAE/IMP & ABRIS) Note that the length of the tubing influences the pump speed in the IMP440 module. When the probe is directly connected to the Titan, pump speeds are about 60% higher than when it is connected via the long clinical extension cable (shoulder box) or PreAmplifier cable. For the most accurate measurements it is recommended to use probe while connected via the long clinical extension cable (shoulder box) or PreAmplifier cable.

Ensure that the Titan is switched off before attaching or detaching the probe, short or long clinical extension cable (shoulder box) or PreAmplifier cable from the Titan.

To release the probe or one of the extension cables from the Titan, press the button at the back of the Titan and pull the probe or extension cord out while holding onto the base of the probe or extension cable. Do not pull directly on the cord of the extension cable as this can damage the tubing connections! Do not pull directly on the probe tip as this may cause it to break!

Connect the extension cord or probe to the Titan by lining up the red triangles and pushing the probe or extension cable into the connection plate.
