Virtual SVV™ Instructions for Use – US
3.1.3
Base station
The Base Station Incorporates the wireless transceiver for communication between the patient's handheld
remote and the USB interface to the PC. This permits real-time transfer of the patient's settings and the data
from the virtual reality goggle sensors to the application software.
3.1.4
Application software
The application provides the operator with control of the test routine and continuous monitoring of all
parameters (e.g. angle of head tilt, angle of luminous line). The graphic display elements indicate
continuously the movements of the luminous line as the patient adjusts it to the perceived visual vertical and
monitors the orientation of the virtual reality goggle. After confirmation by the patient, the set values are
stored and presented in the on-screen results chart. In this way the operator can track how well the patient is
performing with reference to the threshold range. The software also generates a test report sheet containing
all measurement data. This can be output to electronic or hardcopy media.
Installation of OtoAccess™ database
