When the selected ears have been tested and the results saved the PROCESS RESULTS menu will be
displayed. This accesses the following functions:

Save the results in the internal database
Review the results as described above
Return to the main menu
The results of the last test performed remain available even if the Otowave has been turned off. To view these
results select VIEW THE LAST TEST from the main menu. After selecting the required ear the tympanogram
will be displayed. It will then be possible to view the results and select the PROCESS RESULTS menu as if
the test had just been completed.

be saved to the Otowave’s database, printed or sent to a computer to ensure that data is not lost.

EAR SEAL CHECK
The type of ear seal check employed at the start of a test can be set in the CONFIGURATION menu (Section
0). The default QUICK option is adequate for most tests, although it may not always be possible to generate
the extremes of pressure with this setting.
However if difficulty is experienced in using the ear tips to create a seal the alternative THOROUGH option
may be helpful. This checks that a range of pressures will be available before starting a test by means of a
visual indication of the quality of the seal:
TESTING LEFT EAR
Obtaining ear seal
Low :
High :
Cancel
The number of bars shown indicates the robustness of the seal. The probe should be adjusted in the ear until
two or more bars are shown for Low & High.
