Save 500 mode
When operating in the ‘Save 500’ mode, the OtoRead
TM
will save up
to 500 tests. There are two options in the ’Save 500’ mode:
The OtoRead
TM
will automatically number each test from 1 to 500.
This allows the user to save all tests for each patient (tests of the
same ear are NOT overwritten) and to test multiple patients before
printing or transferring results. In this mode, it is important to keep a
record of the test number(s) for each patient.
The OtoRead
TM
Module software is used to transfer patient names to
the OtoRead
TM
and the OtoRead
TM
will display the names. The
maximum number of patient names that can be transferred to the
device is 50 (including the ‘unnamed’ patient). When patient names
are used, the patient names are displayed on the OtoRead
TM
device
in the same order as displayed in the module software. To move to a
different name than the one displayed on the OtoRead
TM
screen, use
the LEFT or RIGHT arrows to cycle through the names until the
desired name is displayed. ’Unnamed’ is always included at the
beginning of the OtoRead
TM
list for instances when a patient is being
tested, but the patient name was not transferred to the OtoRead
TM
.
When transferring names to the device, only 15 characters are
retained for first name, last name, patient ID and other supported
identifiers. This limit is also reflected on thermal printouts.
Refer to Instrument Settings – Save Mode for information on changing the save mode settings.
