Quick Guide
The Quick Guide describes a typical examination using one of the preset protocols.
Starting OtoAccess™: ASSR
1. Switch on your ASSR workstation and wait for windows® to start.
2. Double click on the OtoAccess™
3. Choose an existing client (or enter and save a new client)
4. Double click on the ASSR icon
Performing an ASSR measurement
1. Prepare the patient according to "Quick Reference for Preparing the Patient"
2. Select desired ASSR test protocol.
3. If needed, adjust the rejection level to have a large size EEG displayed, but without the EEG
changing to red. Settings higher than 20 µV indicates a less than ideally relaxed patient (or electrical
noise interference), and less than perfect recording results are thus to be
expected. 80 µV or higher will not provide optimum results.
4. Click on the Start button to begin the ASSR test.
5. As results are obtained, additional test intensities can be selected by
right clicking within the desired frequency pane.
6. When the test is completed it is possible to:
Provide an Estimated Audiogram
Go to the "Audiogram" tab, to see the Estimated Audiogram. Changes can be made if needed, by
applying a different correction table
with the mouse.

Helpful tools:
Temporary change to Auto Test: Prior to starting a test, the default selection of frequenencies to be
tested can be modified in the "Stimulus" section in the upper left hand corner of the recording screen.
Temporary Setup disable or enable frequencies, change intensities, adjust parameters to patient
arousal state etc, temporarily for this session. Changes are effective in the current session only, and
will NOT permanently change the test protocol.
