Results storage and reporting
When the screener is set in its default settings, the instrument stores the results from
one patient (left and right ears) in its non-volatile memory for subsequent printing. The
screener is capable of storing up to 250 test results.
The results are displayed on the LCD on the front of the device and are stored in the
device’s internal memory. After testing is complete, results can be printed using the
printer or exported to a computer.
Save/Store test results mode
The screener automatically saves the results of completed tests in the non-volatile
memory even if the battery is temporarily discharged. However, the screener is not
intended for long-term storage of test results.
Note You are strongly encouraged to print or transfer all test results at the
completion of testing to avoid potential loss of data.
The screener has two operating modes for saving and storing test results:
•
SAVE L/R
• SAVE 250
SAVE/LR is the default operating mode.
SAVE L/R mode
When operating in the default SAVE L/R mode, the screener saves the most recent test
results for each ear and prints or transfers only these results. This allows you to retest a
patient after a REFER result and to print or transfer only the most recent test result for
each ear.
Welch Allyn recommends that you print the results after each patient when using the
default mode.
SAVE 250 mode
When operating in the SAVE 250 mode, the screener can save up to 250 tests. There are
two methods of using the SAVE 250 mode:
