When you test reflexes using these automatic or semi-automatic features, the reflexes are automatically determined using
different stimulus levels. These levels are predefined, but can be adjusted. It may be necessary to customize the settings
relating to automatic testing.
When you use automatic or semi-automatic testing or when you use test sequences, always make sure that the automatic
settings are set according to your needs.
These settings are found in:

High intensity levels
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.
When testing the stimulus types between 500 and 2000 Hz, reflexes not found at this intensity are considered abnormally
elevated (using a 2-standard deviation criterion from the average threshold level in adults).
Whenever a stimulus level exceeds the warning level (> 108 dB SPL re 2 cc corresponding to >=115 dB SPL in 0.5 cc), the
stimulus intensity value will start flashing and automatic testing is paused. You are then prompted to decide whether to
continue or to move on to the next stimulus type.
Warning
•
The sound pressure level in the ear canal increases when you test patients with small ear canals.
Always comply with local practice and recommendations for presenting loud stimuli.
Measurements saved
MADSEN OTOflex 100 automatically keeps the last 3 deflection curves measured.
When saving in NOAH, up to 52 individual reflex deflection curves (screening, threshold and decay) are saved. Priority is
given to deflection curves documenting increasing deflections with increasing stimulus intensity above the threshold.
