1 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing an Amplivox audiometer. The Amplivox Model
116 is a manual screening audiometer that will give many years of reliable
service if treated with care.
1.1 Intended applications
The Model 116 screening audiometer is designed for use by general
practitioners, occupational health staff and child health professionals and
is the ideal instrument for primary care groups, schools and industry. The
audiometer is not intended for use by hearing specialists to determine the
full extent and scope of a patient’s hearing deficiency.
The instrument is completely portable, and if required may be specified to
operate from integral internal batteries (see Section 2.3 below). Test
results may be printed using the specified printer option or transferred to a
PC running the Amplivox Audibase or AudiView applications.
