There are a few conditions under which the ALGO 3i screener will automatically terminate the
screening process:
Cable(s) disconnected
Battery charger connected
Screening time limit exceeded
Battery too low to complete screening
Cable(s) disconnected; battery charger connected
Caution: If either cable is disconnected from the ALGO 3i screener or if the battery charger is plugged
in during the screening, an Error message will appear and the ALGO 3i screener will terminate the
screening without saving a screening record. Damage to the device could also occur.
Screening time limit exceeded
Warning! Infants should not be screened for longer than 60 minutes. Wait 24 hours before re-screening
the infant.
The ALGO 3i screener will automatically terminate the screening after 60 minutes and display an
error message. A partial screening record will be written if at least one ear has achieved a result.
Battery too low to complete screening
If the battery charge status drops below a certain threshold during the screening process, the
ALGO 3i screener will automatically terminate the screening and display an error message. A
partial screening record will be saved if at least one ear has achieved a result. The ALGO 3i
battery must be charged before another hearing screening can be performed.
Step 8: Observe screening complete
Monitor screening until completion.
When the ALGO 3i screener has completed screening, it will automatically display the
Screening Complete window, which indicates that the ALGO 3i screener has saved a
screening record to its memory. A screening record includes both the infant data and the
screening result. This window will stay active until you click “X” or “OK”, giving you time
to discuss results with parents or other care providers. Screening results are automatically
saved in the ALGO 3i screener memory for later review, printing, and exporting.
Step 9: Remove and discard supplies
Remove sensors (and earphones), by first disconnecting the ALGO cables, then gently lifting
the sensor (or earphone) while supporting the underlying skin with your fingers. If there is
resistance, a moist gauze sponge can be worked along the edge of the sensor to loosen the
seal.
Caution: Do not leave sensors on the baby for prolonged periods. If the baby perspires under a
sensor, skin irritation may develop.
Note: Natus screening supplies are for single-patient use. Use a new set of supplies for each infant
screened.
Step 10: Return to MainMenu/Disposition screening record
A. From the Screening Complete window, you may click “X” to return to the MainMenu,
then either power off the device or screen another infant.
