Introduction

1.1

MADSEN OTOflex 100 Thank you for purchasing OTOflex 100. OTOflex 100 is a compact and portable wireless immittance test device, which offers a complete range of capabilities for middle ear diagnostics. OTOflex 100 can be operated anywhere as a stand-alone device or operated directly from OTOsuite. OTOflex 100 integrates closely with the OTOsuite Immittance Module, with full test control from both the device and OTOsuite. When used with OTOsuite, you gain additional features and diagnostic value offered by the comprehensive user interface and NOAH compatibility of OTOsuite. OTOflex 100 - OTOsuite interfacing

OTOflex 100 is designed to operate with the OTOsuite Immittance Module. Bluetooth

OTOflex 100 connects with OTOsuite via BluetoothTM, which provides wireless connection between OTOflex 100 and OTOsuite up to a range of approximately 10 metres (approx. 33 ft), and up to a range of 100 metres (approx. 330 ft) for other electronic devices. NOAH

The NOAH System is a HIMSA product for managing clients/patients, launching hearing test applications and fitting software, and storing audiological test results. OTOflex 100 test results can be stored in the NOAH database via OTOsuite.

1.2

OTOsuite and the Immittance Module The OTOsuite Immittance Module offers real time presentation of test results and full test control of MADSEN OTOflex 100 directly from a PC. Test devices with integrated user interfaces can be operated independently of the Immittance Module, although additional features and diagnostic value is offered by the Immittance Module's comprehensive user interface and NOAH compatibility. The test functionalities of the OTOsuite Immittance Module depend on the connected device, as does the selection of test parameters, and remote control.

Introduction Intended use

The OTOsuite Immittance Module lets you work with NOAH or save and view results via XML files. The OTOsuite Immittance Module supports • screening and diagnostic tympanometry • Reflex Threshold testing • Reflex Decay testing • ETF-P • user-defined tests. Immittance Module - OTOflex 100 interfacing

The Immittance Module is designed to operate with OTOflex 100 as the test device (produced by Otometrics). 1.2.1

The flexibility of the OTOsuite Immittance Module

When used for testing, the OTOsuite Immittance Module adapts to the connected test device. Consequently, the test functionalities of the OTOsuite Immittance Module depend on the connected device, as does the selection of test parameters, and remote control.

1.3

Intended use 1.3.1

MADSEN OTOflex 100

OTOflex 100 is an audiodiagnostic device intended for clinical, diagnostic and screening tympanometry and reflex measurements performed by audiologists, ENTs and other health care professionals. It is designed for use on infants, children and adults, and is lightweight, fast, reliable, and easy to use. OTOflex 100 uses technologies which are highly effective for clinical and screening purposes. Tympanometry and Acoustic Reflex measurements measure the mechanical response of the middle ear and form a basis for evaluating whether the related physiological structures are functioning correctly or not. The OTOflex 100 probe is extremely lightweight (only 4.5 grams), and comes with comfortable, easy to insert eartips. This makes it ideal for use with children and adults. OTOflex 100 can be configured for a wide variety of tests, and it can be operated entirely manually or programmed for the user’s own combination of manual and automatic operation. In user-programmable tests the user can select the default parameters of a particular test, and combine tests to form a sequence of preset tests.
