Take note of the calibration interval indicated. Use of the

instrument beyond the calibration interval expiry date can lead to

unreliable diagnoses.

Hygiene

The earpieces of the tympanometer probes are disposable; do not

use the same earpiece for different patients. Dispose of earpieces

after use.

Use

The instrument is able to generate tones at an intensity potentially

damaging to the patient. Take particular care to set the intensity of

the tone correctly before it is presented.

DISPOSAL

Like any other electronic device, the Timpani tympanometer contains

certain extremely hazardous substances, albeit in extremely small

proportions. If released into the normal refuse collection system without

suitable preliminary treatment, these substances cause serious damage to the

environment and to health. At the end of its service life, accordingly, each

component of the appliance must go through a sorted collection process:

this means that the user should deliver (or despatch) waste items to the

sorted collection centres set up by local authorities, or alternatively, hand

them back to the dealer when purchasing a new appliance of the same or

similar type.

Thanks to the sorted collection of waste items and the subsequent

processing, recovery and disposal operations they undergo, appliances can

be made from recycled materials, and any negative impact of improper

waste management on the environment and on health can be suitably

limited.

CONFORMITY

The Timpani tympanometer is a class II device, in accordance with Annex

IX of the medical devices directive 93/42/EEC as amended and

supplemented by directive 2007/47/EC.
