Choose the test protocol from the list using the up & down arrow keys and then press Select. 3. To use a different protocol than the one selected, press Protocol and then repeat step 2 above. 4. Select the transducer (only if more than one connected to the preamplifier). 5. Select the ear for testing. TEST ENVIRONMENT The ideal test environment is a quiet room where lights and other electronic equipment are turned off. PREPARE THE INFANT Patient state The infant should be sleeping or in quiet relaxed state. Sucking, blinking, crying or movement may affect testing. Skin preparation Typically, no skin preparation is required. If the infant’s skin is oily, the electrode placement sites should be cleaned using alcohol wipes and/or skin preparation gel. Use a conductive gel with the electrodes to improve impedances. Place electrodes Place surface electrodes using the desired montage (mastoid or nape). Connect cables Connect the cables from the PreAmplifier to the respective surface electrodes. CHECK IMPEDANCE Impedances are indicated by the green/amber dots on the infant as well as in numerical format on screen. When the dot is amber, this means the impedance is poor (> 40kΩ). In this instance, it may be necessary to clean the skin and replace the surface electrode. NB. Testing is possible when impedances are poor. This may, however, affect test time and measurements.
