Operation Manual easyScreen
Selecting From the Patient List
A patient can be selected from the Patient list. Press the Select Patient button on
the Home screen.
You can find the desired patient in the patient list in several ways
(Figure 52):
• Use the Search button to open a screen in which
you can enter all or part of the patient’s ID, last or first
name to search for matching patiencts. The patient list
will be shortened to include only matching entries.
• Scroll the page using the UP and Down arrow
buttons to find the desired patient name.
Select the patient of interest to open the Patient information screen.
After selecting the patient you can proceed to:
• Review the patient’s test history
• Test the patient.
In the Select Patient list at the right side of the row with the patient’s name, a square
is present and the appearance of the square reflects the test status as described below.
No tests are saved in the device for this patient (Figure 53).
Tests are saved in the device (between 1 and 49) (Figure 54).
The maximum number of tests is saved (50). No additional tests
can be performed for this patient (Figure 55).
You must transfer the tests to the HearSIM PC application
which will delete the patients and tests saved on easyScreen.
Only then can you transfer or enter this patient’s ID again to the
device and perform more tests.
5.8 Preparing for Testing
Test Environment
5.8.1.1 General
The ideal environment for hearing screening is one that is acoustically quiet with
minimal potential for electrical interference (for ABR). This is not easily achieved in a
hospital, where most newborns are screened.
Nevertheless, the screener should be aware that the environment can impact the
testing process and results and should attempt to control the environment to the extent
that this is possible.
