General The GSI TympStar Version 1 and Version 2 Middle-Ear Analyzers are techni-
cally advanced, computer-based admittance instruments designed to be used
in clinical or research settings. The TympStar builds on the sophistication,
functionality and flexibility of the GSI 33, offering unparalleled testing capa-
bilities. It contains total capabilities for complete, manual or automatic diag-
nostic testing for analysis of middle ear function.
Operators have
a
choice of using GSI
preprogrammed test parameters, or programming
their own test criteria. A large liquid crystal
display (LCD) clearly displays test param-
eter choices and the possible alterna-
tives. Admittance and pressure
indications are shown on the
LCD along with a
continuous digital
readout
. Test sta-
tus and invalid
choices are also shown
on the LCD.
Test results are displayed in real-time. The user can view the results as they
are being measured and then has the choice of printing the display or retesting
the patient. The high-speed printer generates reports in concise graphical for-
mats that are easy to read.
This manual addresses the service requirements of the Version 1 and the Version 2
instruments, and calls attention to the differences when necessary. Please refer to
the appropriate User Manual for more detailed information regard-
ing instrument installation and operation.
