MADSEN Zodiac - OTOsuite interfacing
MADSEN Zodiac is designed to operate with the OTOsuite Immittance module. From the OTOsuite Immittance module,
which is NOAH compatible, you can perform tests, monitor test results, create User Tests, store and export data, and print
reports.
Noah
The Noah System is a HIMSA product for managing clients/patients, launching hearing test applications and fitting software,
and storing audiological test results. MADSEN Zodiac test results can be stored in the Noah database via OTOsuite.
Printing test results
Some versions of MADSEN Zodiac have a built-in thermal printer for printing test results. When MADSEN Zodiac is used in
connection with the OTOsuite Immittance software module, test results can be transferred to OTOsuite for printing as
OTOsuite reports.
1.1 The OTOsuite Immittance module
The OTOsuite Immittance module offers real time presentation of test results
and full test control of MADSEN Zodiac directly from a PC. Stand-alone ver-
sions of Zodiac, which have integrated user interfaces, can be operated inde-
pendently of the Immittance module, although additional features and
diagnostic value are offered by the Immittance module's comprehensive user
interface and NOAH compatibility.
When used for testing, the OTOsuite Immittance module adapts to the connected test device. The test functionalities of
the OTOsuite Immittance module depend on the connected device, as does the selection of test parameters and remote
control.
