The GSI 38 Auto Tymp is a versatile combination instrument which provides testing
capability for tympanometry alone, tympanometry combined with screening acoustic
reflex measurements, and screening audiometry. Four different versions are available
to meet your individual testing needs.
The basic version provides two modes of
operation, tympanometry alone and tympanometry plus screening ipsilateral acoustic
reflex testing.
A second version permits tympanometry alone and tympanometry
combined with ipsilateral and contralateral screening acoustic reflex measurements.
The third version provides testing capability for all three test modes, i.e., tympanometry
alone, tympanometry combined with ipsilateral and contralateral screening acoustic
reflex measurements, and screening audiometry.
Finally, the fourth version allows
tympanometry alone, tympanometry combined with ipsilateral acoustic reflex screening
testing and screening audiometry. It is possible to field retrofit versions one, two and
four with the full functionality provided with version number three after the time of
original purchase.
