Test phase

During the testing phase, the screen will display the ongoing measurement in graphical format. The result
can also be reviewed after the test is complete.
There are two options for viewing the results – SNR or Value graph view. The user can set desired view
from the M2 menu.
Testing is complete when the green 'READY' light is illuminated. Both the tester and patient should remain
as still and quiet as possible until the green light turns on. The
progress. Aborted tests are not saved on the device..

Saving results

The results of the test are automatically saved in memory as soon as the test is completed. The results will
be saved even if the unit turns off or the battery is temporarily depleted.
By default (Save L/R Mode), the OtoRead
the same ear will overwrite the existing test result.

The SNR graph view displays the signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) for
each DP test frequency or TE test band.
Each column represents one test frequency (DP) or frequency band
(TE). The height of each column represents the SNR measured.
When a protocol with Pass/Refer criteria has been selected, the user
will see a horizontal white line at the decibel level corresponding to
the SNR required for the test frequency (DP) or frequency band (TE)
to be classified as detected. Green bars indicate the test frequency or
band has met the detection criteria. A checkmark in the color of the
measured ear will be displayed on top of these bars.
Red or blue empty bars indicate no detection at that frequency or
band. The blue or red indicates the test ear side.
The value graph view displays the absolute OAE level and noise
levels for each DP test frequency or TE frequency band.
Blue "x" symbols (left ear) or red "o" symbols (right ear) represent the
absolute emission levels at each DP test frequency or TE frequency
band. White upside-down triangles represent the noise floor at each
DP test frequency or TE frequency band.
The green line indicates the min OAE level set (the default setting is
-10 dBSPL for both TEOAE and DPOAE).
The shaded area is the Expanded Boys Town Normative data.
Refer to the section Viewing DPOAE results with normative data
for more information.

the view setting.
