3i Newborn Hearing Screener IFU 024913 RevD Revision Date 08/05/2020
42
The ALGO 3i screener updates the result occasionally, so if you move the screener, or accidentally
disconnect a clip, there may be a delay in the reading. The outcome of the Artifact Check will be
one of the following:
PASS indicates that the source of myogenic interference was the baby. Even a sleeping baby can
generate myogenic interference. The ALGO 3i screener is functioning properly. See Chapter IX.
Troubleshooting for tips on resolving myogenic interference.
FAIL indicates that either the environment or the ALGO 3i screener is the source of interference.
Move the ALGO 3i screener to another location and repeat the test. If the result is now PASS, the
source for the interference is likely in the environment. Monitor the screening environment for
other equipment which may be causing interference.
If the FAIL condition persists, call Natus Technical Service or your authorized service
representative for help in determining other potential sources of interference.
PASS/FAIL: If the window alternates between PASS and FAIL, the source of interference is not
clear. Move the ALGO 3i screener to another location and repeat the test. If the FAIL or
PASS/FAIL condition persists, call Natus Technical Service or your authorized service
representative for help.
