MA 1 by Maico – Mobile and intuitive screening audiometer
The MA 1 by Maico is a screening audiometer designed to combine clinical efficiency, portability, and ease of use. It meets the needs of hearing professionals working in hospitals, private practices, schools, or while on the move. Designed for quick handling, this device enables accurate hearing loss detection through an intuitive interface and reliable components.
This device is intended for audiologists, hearing care professionals, or trained technicians, and should be used in a quiet environment to ensure the quality of the results. It can be used to assess patients of all ages, including children who are able to respond to auditory stimuli. While the MA 1 enables fast screening, it does not replace a complete audiological evaluation when hearing loss is suspected.
This model emphasizes portability without compromising performance. Powered by two AA batteries, it does not require a power outlet, making it an ideal choice for mobile procedures. The included DD 45 audiometric headset is specifically calibrated for this model and should not be replaced without recalibration. This requirement ensures highly accurate measurements—essential for reliable clinical interpretation.
The MA 1 is compatible with a sturdy, compact carrying case, making it perfect for field use. Its build complies with electrical safety standards according to IEC 60601-1, making it a safe medical device even when used alongside other medical equipment.
The device should be used in a quiet environment, at room temperature, to avoid any acoustic or electromagnetic interference that could distort the results. Regular maintenance is recommended, including cleaning and disinfecting the ear cushions after each patient, to prevent cross-contamination.
The MA 1 is also designed to be easy to maintain. It requires an annual functional check, for which the original packaging should be kept. If a defect is found or the headset is damaged, recalibration is necessary to maintain the reliability of the device.
The MA 1 by Maico stands out for its compact format, great ease of use, and accuracy. It is an ideal solution for hearing screening tests in various professional contexts. It combines lightness, robustness, and medical compliance, making it a trustworthy investment for demanding professionals.
