Facility  info

:  Prints  automatically  those 

fields that contain data (not shown if no data 
is entered).  

 

Patient  data

:  provides  the  field  name  to 

manually enter. Can be selected/deselected 
in settings (see section 5.6.4).

Examiner

:  empty  line  for  examiner‘s 

signature. 

Session  date and time

: shows the date and 

time of the session as displayed on the device. 

Test  result  Tympanometry

:  consists  of 

frequency  of  probe  tone  (

6a

),  graphical 

display (

6b

) and numerical data (

6c

).

 

Test result Acoustic Reflexes

: shows pass 

criterion (

7a

) and test result as a graph (

7b

or a table (

7c

).  

NOTE:

 

ETF

 and 

Decay

 results are printed 

with graphical and numerical information. 

 

5.4.5.6 Transferring Test Results to PC 

Note

: For data transfer between touchTymp and MAICO Sessions it is necessary to 

activate the license for PC connection which can be additionally purchased. 

Before transferring data to a PC make sure that you have installed the PC software 
properly according to the separately delivered operation manual. Before establishing 
the  PC  connection  you  will  have  to  consider  the  recommendations  given  in  section 
4.2.4 in case the touchTymp is connected to a non-medical device.  

If  the  PC  connection  is  properly  established  and  MAICO  Sessions  is  running,  the 
connection icon 

 in the status bar will be highlighted green. To transfer the data to 

the PC, press the 

Transfer to PC

 

 button. It is only possible to transfer data of each 

test separately (

226 Hz

 or 

1000 Hz

Tympanometry

 or 

Decay

). 

  

Figure 82 

 

Figure 83 

At  the  completion  of  the  transfer,  an 

arrow

 

 icon  is 

displayed on the button to note the transfer of  the tests.  
This  is  displayed  for  each  test  transferred.  The  module 
button  will  remain  with  an 

asterisk

   until  all  tests  have 

been transferred (i.e. Tymp 226 Hz, Tymp 678 Hz). See 
Figure 82 and Figure 83.
