UGD Probe (TEOAE/DPOAE) for ABR

The UGD ABR probe from Otodynamics Ltd. is a probe for TEOAE (Transient Oto-Acoustic Emission Probe) and DPOAE (Distortion Product Oto-Acoustic Emission Probe) examinations. It is suitable for all age groups, from newborns to children and even adults. The UGD ABR probe can be used with the following Otodynamics Ltd devices:

• Otoport Advance with ABR extension
• Otoport Flexi with ABR extension
• Otoport Lite DP with ABR extension

The UGD ABR probe comes with one coupler tube. Replace tips and coupler tubes regularly to ensure the longevity of the probe. We recommend replacing tips after every examination and coupler tubes after 20-40 TEOAE/DPOAE examinations. These coupler tubes can easily be replaced by removing the probe body and lid first.

The UGD ABR probe comes in two different colors for easy binaural identification of the left (blue) and right (red) ear. Select the appropriate color (one UGD ABR probe per pack) or a pack consisting of two UGD ABR probes with both colors.

The UGD ABR probe connection cable has a length of 1m.

Application Notes

As with all probes from Otodynamics Ltd, it is important to:

• Fit a new ear tip before each TEOAE or DPOAE test.
• Check that the coupler tubes are not contaminated before fitting the tip. If the coupler tubes are contaminated, replace them. We recommend fitting new coupler tubes at regular intervals (approx every 20-40 tests) as a preventive measure.
• Perform weekly probe QA tests.

To replace a coupler tube first, unplug the probe from the instrument. Remove the tip and then the lid. Remove the coupler tubes by pushing the end of the tubes down onto a hard surface. Pull out the tubes by gripping them. Never remove them by pulling on the cable. Finally, pull the coupler tubes away from the probe. After the new coupler tube has been fitted into the probe, reassemble it in reverse order.

UGD probes have three holes at the output side, one is for the microphone and the other two are for the loudspeakers. 

The UGD ABR probe is available in two different colors for binaural identification. Blue is for the left ear and red is for the right ear.
