6. Saving Results in the Internal Database
Up to 30 tests can be saved in the Otowave 102 internal database.
To save the results of a test select SAVE RESULTS from the PROCESS
RESULTS menu that is displayed on completion of a test. This option can
also be accessed by selecting VIEW THE LAST TEST from the main menu
and scrolling through the results using the ► key as long as the test results
have not already been saved or deleted (e.g. by starting and then aborting
a new test).
A three character identifier is used for the record. This is also used as the
reference for the patient’s name on the printed record and for data
transferred to a computer. The identifier would typically be the patient’s
initials, and as the tympanometer uses a combination of this identifier and
the date/time of a test to refer to stored records this same identifier may be
used for different tests for the same patient.
