Max. intensity
Menu

Auto Settings..
Select the desired maximum level of the stimulus intensity (up to 105 dB HL).
Default: 105 dB HL
Note
•
To avoid automatic testing being interrupted because of high stimulus
intensity levels when reaching the warning limits, it is recommended that you
set the max. intensity to 95 dB HL.
This intensity level is below the warning level for all available stimuli.
Automatic testing always stops after presenting the stimulus at the Max. intensity. For
safety reasons, testing at higher intensities is possible only in manual mode.
Warning
•
When testing manually, be careful when you select the Stimulus
intensity so as not to expose the patient to too high intensity levels!
Note
•
Whenever a stimulus level exceeds the warning level
(> 108 dB SPL re 2cc), the stimulus intensity value will start flashing and all
automatic testing is paused. You are then prompted to decide whether to con-
tinue or to move on to the next stimulus type.
In Manual testing, whenever a stimulus level exceeds the Intensity Safety level
((> 115 dB SPL re 2cc), the stimulus intensity value will start flashing.

Verification

Auto Settings..
Select the type of verification strategy to be used after the reflex criterion has been
met by the automatic threshold search.
The stimulus may be retested for reproducibility, or the next one or two intensity
levels can be used to confirm the reflex growth properties.
