2 Testing the patient
• Switch on the AccuScreen PRO.
• Select "Test" from the Main Menu.
• The AccuScreen PRO displays a list, where patients are listed either by their last names or ID
numbers (depending on the setting in "Options" - "Settings 2" - "Patient list mode"). Select the
name or number of the patient to be tested and press OK. Make sure that you have selected the
correct patient and press OK.
• Alternatively, you can manually enter a new patient’s name and data.
• Select the type of test you wish to use and press OK.
• Select the ear to be tested and then fit the probe in the appropriate ear canal of the patient.
• To place the probe in the ear canal, gently pull the pinna back and slightly down and insert the
probe, twisting it slightly as you insert it. Make sure that the probe fits well.
• Make sure that the cable is not in contact with any vibrating surfaces during testing.
• You can easily compensate for spontaneous movements of the head by reducing the pull on the
probe cable. To do so, form a big loop, which you hold loosely with one hand close to the head of
the patient.
• Press OK to confirm the selected ear and start the test.
• For TEOAE, DPOAE and DPOAE Diagnostic tests, calibration (CAL) is performed. For ABR
tests, the AccuScreen PRO performs an impedance test followed by calibration.
