Interacoustics Handheld OAE Product Detail
Model: Otoread
The OtoRead is a fast, automatic handheld OAE instrument for testing newborn babies, children and adults. Several default test protocols are available using either TE or DP. Actual test results along with a Pass or Refer indication are available on the display as well as in print from a thermal printer.
The user has a choice of three different lengths of cable from the unit to the probe, providing great flexibility to accommodate a variety of testing situations. Tests may even be performed with the unit resting in its cradle.
Applications
The OtoRead is ideal for newborn hearing programs. Because the OtoRead is so flexible, the newborn program manager can establish a defined protocol that can be followed by any trained individual. All that is required is a proper seal at the ear canal and pressing a single button to initiate the test. The printed results reveal a Pass or Refer and the actual data can be reviewed by the program administrator. The OtoRead is also suitable for an ENT oraudiology clinical setting. Expanded protocols allow up to 6 frequency evaluations extending up to 12kHz with the Distortion Product model. The DPOAE/TEOAE test protocols
can be set up with standard or custom pass/refer criteria. With this flexibility the OtoRead can be used as a full diagnostic instrument to evaluate ototoxicity, difficult to test patients, occupational hearing loss onset and functional hearing loss cases.
The Instrument
The OtoRead has a sleek, ergonomic design which makes it easy to hold and administer a test. Reliable test results are a must for any situation. The OtoRead utilizes a superior noise rejection algorithm and a quick, accurate ear canal calibration to maximize the quality of your test results. A simple four arrow keypad in conjunction with a display screen lets the user easily move through the tests, review data, setup various test protocols and change basic settings. It even has memory for storing up to 50 ears which can be recalled for review. The OtoRead has the capability to transfer data to a PC. The handy OtoRead cradle is used to store the instrument and to transfer data to a PC or printer. Tests can even be run while the
OtoRead rests in the cradle. The OtoRead is powered by standard alkaline batteries so you can have unrestricted movement at the patients ear, or simply go from room to room as you see different patients.
The Probe
The OtoRead has a small and lightweight probe insert with a removable cone. This allows for quick cleaning or replacement should it become clogged with cerumen from the ear canal. The probe is also detachable, allowing various lengths of cable to be connected so the instrument can be set up for the convenience of the user
