1 Scope
This part of IEC 60645 applies to instruments designed for the measurement of auditory evoked potentials from the inner ear, the auditory nerve, and the brainstem, evoked by either acoustic
or vibratory stimuli of short duration. This document defines the characteristics to be specified by the manufacturer, specifies
performance requirements for two types of instruments (screening and diagnostic/clinical),
and specifies the functions to be provided on these types. It also specifies a means
of describing the physical characteristics, in terms of electrical waveforms, of audiometric
reference and test signals of short duration used with auditory evoked potential equipment and other equipment (e.g. otoacoustic
emission instruments), and methods for their measurement.
The purpose of this document is to ensure that measurements made under comparable
test conditions with different instruments complying with this document will be consistent.
This document is not intended to restrict development or incorporation of new features,
nor to discourage innovative approaches.
Evoked response measurement using the application of electric stimuli to a subject
is beyond the scope of this document.
