Viewing Results
When testing is complete, a Display similar to Display 8 will
appear. The results of the test are automatically saved in
memory as soon as the test is complete. The results will be
saved even if the unit turns off or the batteries are temporarily
depleted. This screen again indicates the test ear and further
gives the results of the test.
“PASS” on the screen indicates that the patient passed the
screening.
“REFER” indicates that the patient did not pass the
screening.
“NOISY” indicates that excessive noise was present during
the test.
“NO SEAL” indicates that a seal was not maintained
throughout the test.
“FIT ERR” indicates inadequate probe placement in the ear
canal to produce target stimulus intensities.
When the test result is “NOISY,” “NO SEAL,” or “FIT ERR” the tester should reposition the
probe, selecting a different size eartip if necessary, and retest. If the test result is “REFER”
the tester can determine from the printout whether the test should be repeated. To review
the results, push the
DOWN arrow key to return to the graph. After reviewing the results,
again push the
DOWN arrow key to return to the Main Menu (Display 1, page 19).
NOTE: Completed tests are automatically saved. By default (Save L/R Mode), the
ERO•SCAN
®
instrument will save only the last test for each ear. Starting a new test for the
same ear will overwrite the existing test.
NOTE: Once the review screen is exited, results are no longer viewable within the device.
Printing or transferring to the PC is required for continued viewing options.

Test Technique
As with other otoacoustic emission test instruments, there is a technique to learn when
using the ERO•SCAN
®
instrument, especially while testing infants. Experience with existing
OAE systems suggests that it may take up to 3 months to become completely proficient at
screening infants.
