Intended Use; Important Safety Instructions - Interacoustics OtoRead Manual De Instrucciones

The OtoRead™ OAE Test Instrument i™s designed to be a screening device for hearing loss.
Sensitivity and specificity of this type of device are based on the test characteristics defined by the
user, and may vary depending on environmental and operating conditions. The presence of
otoacoustic emissions suggests normal outer hair cell function, which in turn correlates to normal
hearing. However, a passing result using this instrument is not an indication that the full auditory
system is normal. Thus, a PASS result should not be allowed to override other indications that hearing
is not normal. A full audiologic evaluation should be administered if concerns about hearing sensitivity
persist. A REFER test result should not be assumed to be an indicator of a lack of auditory function;
however, it should be followed with full audiologic diagnostic testing.
