Air Fx Irrigator Instructions for Use - EN
Note: if you manually change the temperature on the Air Fx itself by depressing one on the
temperature buttons during the preparing stage, it will also change the temperature in the
Interacoustics software. If you cancel the test at any time the irrigator will go into rest mode until
you click on the green arrow button to start another caloric test.
If you attempt to manually change the temperature on the irrigator once you have already collected data
you will receive an error message warning you that the temperature change is not allowed.
If the irrigator is not properly plugged into the computer's USB port, when the green arrow button is
pushed to start the caloric test, the following message will appear:
If the Air Fx is used as a stand-alone device without Interacoustics' VNG software, then press the Cool
button to select the Cool Irrigation or press the Warm button to select the Warm Irrigation. The desired
temperature can be adjusted up or down by using the front panel temperature adjustment push buttons.
This temperature adjustment will only be effective for this irrigation. If you want to adjust the default cool
or warm temperature, see the section Error! Reference source not found..
Recommended caloric irrigation sequence is warms first, then cools. After the
last warm irrigation, push the cool irrigation button and allow the irrigator to run
for 5 to 7 minutes before performing the cool irrigation. This 5-7 minute period
is the standard recommended duration between irrigations when changing
temperature to allow the patient's ears to equilibrate. The time will also produce
a more accurate air irrigation temperature, even if the irrigator display reads
'Ready' before the 5-7 minutes have elapsed.
