AD629 Instruction for Use – English
Date: 2012-01-19
The AD629 diagnostic audiometer is designed to be a device for diagnosing 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 diagnosing of hearing loss using this
kind of diagnostic audiometer depends on the interaction with the patient. However, for patients not
responding well possibilities of various tests allow the tester to have at least some evaluative result.
Thus, a "normal hearing" result should not allow for ignoring other contra indications in this case. A full
audiologic evaluation should be administered if concerns about hearing sensitivity persist.
The AD629 audiometer is intended to be used by and audiologist, hearing healthcare professional or
trained technician in an extremely quiet environment. . This instrument is intended for all patient
groups regarding sex, age and health. Careful handling of the instrument whenever in contact with a
patient should be of high priority. Calm and stable positioning while testing is preferred for optimal
accuracy.
