Quick Start Guide
SIBELSOUND 400
Congratulations for purchasing an audiometer from SIBELMED, a leading company in the sector.
To optimise the use of this device, please refer to the USER'S MANUAL.
The SIBELSOUND 400
clinical audiometer is a compact two-channel device, the main components of which are a tone
generator, a noise generator, a set of earphones for air conduction, a vibrator for bone conduction
and an alphanumeric liquid crystal screen.
The whole system is controlled by a Digital Signal Processor DSP that allows audiometric
examination to be carried out quickly, simply and reliably to establish hearing thresholds and to
carry out screening tests such as suprathreshold tonal tests.
INSTALLATION
Install the device somewhere:
- With a 90V - 264V mains outlet and ground connection (required power is < 50 VA).
- With room temperature between 10 ºC and 40 ºC.
- With relative humidity lower than 90% without condensation.
- Next to a soundproof cabin or in a room with a very low level of ambient noise (another possibility is
placing noise dampers in the earphones).
- Away from possible splashes of water or any other liquid.
- Free from objects that prevent air ow during operation.

PERFORMING AN AUDIOMETRIC TEST,step by step
1. Make sure that the patient is sitting comfortably, relaxed and rested and
paying as much attention as possible to the test.
2. Explain what the audiometric test that is going to be performed consists of
and what the patient should answer after hearing the tones.
3. Depending on the test, place the air conduction earphones or the bone conduction vibrator on the
patient and remove glasses or any ornaments that may prevent correct positioning, and ensure that
the patient's hair does not get in the way of the connection between the two transducers and the ear
lobe or the mastoid bone.
4. Connect the mains cable to the audiometer and the power supply.
5. Connect the accessories to the corresponding connection points.
6. Move the switch located at the back of the device to the “I” ONposition. The equipment
then performs a self-check in which it tests whether all the accessories are connected and whether the
original calibration is correct. If the result is negative, it displays an alert showing which accessories are
missing and/or the date of the most recent calibration.
7. Press the key and use the / keys to choose TESTS and choose the
test type: TONAL (Tonal Audiometry)/ SISI (Sisigram)/ SPEECH (Speech audiometry)/ FREE (Free
audiometry). Press
8. Press the key, enter a reference and press (this option is not
available during the free test).
