Operation Manual
touchTymp MI 26
and
MI 36
Version
5.6.12 Settings – Decay – General (MI 36 Version)
Duration: Defines the length the tone will be presented
to the patient (Figure 136). Duration can be configured
in by 5 second increments from 10 s to 30 s.
Level: Defines the default intensity of the stimulus upon
entering the screen (Figure 137). You can adjust the
level in 5 dB steps.
NOTE: The deflection of the acoustic reflex is defined
within the Acoustic Reflex settings.
5.6.13 Settings – ETF – Intact (MI 36 Version)
First Test: Defines the message while the test is in
progression. The end user can select which maneuver
will be displayed first, Swallow or Valsalva (Figure 138).
NOTE: The selection also determines the color of the
tympanometry graphs:
• Swallow represented by Orange
• Valsalva represented by Green
Pump speed: Selection of pump speed determines how
precisely and quickly the test will proceed (Figure 139).
NOTE: A slow speed is more time consuming, but
may give more detailed information.
There are four different pump speed Settings:
• Automatic (Dynamic from 600 daPa/s for low gradient
and 200 daPa/s for a gradient larger than 5 daPa)
• Minimum (50 daPa/s): slow, very precise results
• Medium (250 daPa/s): compromise of speed and precision
• Maximum (>400 daPa/s): fast, screening
Auto stop: will automatically stop measurement when
hitting the zero line to lessen the test time without
affecting results (Figure 140).
Start pressure: the pressure that is first introduced
when performing ETF – Intact measurement.
Stop pressure: the end pressure of the ETF – Intact
measurement (Figure 141).
NOTE: You can adjust the pressure in 25 daPa steps.
