2. Intended Use
The MA 1 audiometer is intended to be used by an audiologist, hearing healthcare
professional, or trained technician in a quiet environment for the purpose of hearing
screening.
The instrument is intended for all patient populations including children able to respond
to a test signal.
The instrument is intended for professional use in clinics, hospitals or schools.
3. Description
The MA 1 screening audiometer is designed to be a device for screening for hearing
loss. Output and specificity of this type of device are based on the test characteristics
defined by the user, and may vary depending on environmental and operating
conditions. The screening for hearing loss using this kind of audiometer depends on the
interaction with the patient. As with any type of hearing screening, a “pass” result
should not overrule any additional concerns regarding hearing ability. A full audiologic
evaluation should be administered if concerns about hearing sensitivity persist.

3.1. Important Safety Note
The MA 1 should always be operated in a quiet room with minimal magnetic influence,
to ensure that examinations are not disturbed by external noise.
Electro-medical instruments that emit strong electromagnetic fields (e.g. microwaves,
radiotherapy devices) can affect the operation of the MA 1
Therefore, the operation of these instruments in close proximity to the MA 1 should be
avoided at all times.
The examination room should have a normal temperature between 15˚C/ 59˚F and
35˚C/ 95˚F. If the instrument has cooled down during transportation, please wait for it
to warm up to room temperature before operation.
Attention
PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE MANUAL CAREFULLY BEFORE OPERATING THIS
INSTRUMENT.
Please only use this instrument as described in the manual.
Please familiarize yourself with the instrument and its operation before using.
Should defects or damages be suspected, please do not, under any circumstances, use
or attempt to fix the instrument yourself.
Calibration of the instrument: The audiometer and the headphone complement each
other and share the same serial number (i.e. 63252). Therefore, the instrument shall
not be used with any other headphone prior to recalibration. Recalibration also needs
to be conducted, when a defective headphone is replaced.
NOTE: Uncalibrated instruments may lead to faulty measurements.
Take note to ensure that all the accessories have been properly connected.
To avoid person-to-person cross contamination of communicable diseases, parts that
come in direct contact with the patient (i.e. earphone cushions) should be
disinfected using commercial disinfectant after each use.
In accordance with the Electronic Equipment Act for disposal of electronic
equipment, the customer is obliged to dispose of the used consumables,
according to appropriate regulation at own cost.
This equipment is intended to be connected to other equipment thus forming a
Medical Electrical System. External equipment intended for connection to signal input,
signal output or other connectors shall comply with the relevant product standard e.g.
IEC 60950-1 for IT equipment and the IEC 60601-series for medical electrical
equipment. In addition, all such combinations –Medical Electrical Systems –shall
comply with the safety requirements stated the general standard IEC 60601-1, edition

3, clause 16. Any equipment not complying with the leakage current requirements in
IEC 60601-1 shall be kept outside the patient environment i.e. at least 1.5 m from the
patient support or shall be supplied via a separation transformer to reduce the leakage
currents. Any person who connects external equipment to signal input, signal output or
other connectors has formed a Medical Electrical System and is therefore responsible
for the system to comply with the requirements. If in doubt, contact qualified medical
technician or your local representative.
3.2. Unpacking and Checking the MA 1
Checking for packaging and content damage
Thoroughly inspect the exterior of the shipping box for any sign of damage or
tampering. Should any damage be noted, please notify the carrier immediately. If the
content box has been damaged during transportation, the instrument should be
checked for any electrical or mechanical defects. Should any defects be identified,
please contact the responsible dealer. Keep all original packaging to facilitate any
insurance claims against the damages.
PLEASE KEEP ALL ORIGINAL PACKAGING FOR FUTURE USE!
The MA 1 is packaged in a specially-designed box. Please keep the box as it will be
useful for sending the instrument for the annual instrument check-up.
Please contact your nearest responsible dealer should the annual instrument check-up
be needed.
