Managing Results
Users have the option of printing to the optional thermal printer,
transferring results to the GSI Data Manager database or utilizing
Auto Print. Specific options will vary depending on the configuration
of the system purchased.
Saving Results
The Corti instrument automatically saves the results of completed
tests in the non-volatile memory (meaning tests are saved even if the
battery is temporarily discharged). However, the Corti is not intended
for long-term storage of test results.
NOTE:
Users are strongly encouraged to print/transfer all test results
at the completion of testing to avoid potential loss of data.
When operating in the default "
Save L/R
" mode, the Corti instrument
will save the most recent test results for each ear and print/transfer
only these results. This allows the user to retest a patient after a
“REFER” result and to print/transfer only the most recent test result
for each ear. It is recommended that the results be printed after each
patient in the default mode.
When operating in the "
Save 250
" mode, the Corti will save up to 250
tests. There are two options in the Save 250 mode:
1. The Corti will automatically number each test from 1 to 250.
2. The Corti Data Manager is used to transfer patient names to
the Corti and the Corti will display the names.
The
250 Mode
allows the user to save all tests for each patient (tests
of the same ear are NOT overwritten) and to test multiple patients
before printing or transferring results. When patient names are used
(patient names are uploaded from the Corti Data Manager to the Corti
unit) the patient names are displayed on the Corti Unit in alphabetical
order. To move to a different name than the one displayed on the
Corti screen, use the left or right arrows to cycle through the names
until the desired name is on the display. A patient named “Unnamed”
is always included at the beginning of the Corti list for instances when
a patient is being tested but the patient name was not transferred to
the Corti.
See Instrument Settings - Save Mode on page 32 for more
information.
NOTE
: When the Corti automatically numbers the tests, it is
important to manually keep a record of the test numbers for each
patient.
