Five categories matter. Compliance integrity: does the system meet ANSI S3.6, OSHA 1910.95, and MSHA requirements? Is it an FDA-listed medical device? Does it perform all required frequencies per ear? Does STS detection follow OSHA methodology precisely? Does it support boothless testing with documented ambient noise monitoring?
Five categories matter. Compliance integrity: does the system meet ANSI S3.6, OSHA 1910.95, and MSHA requirements? Is it an FDA-listed medical device? Does it perform all required frequencies per ear? Does STS detection follow OSHA methodology precisely? Does it support boothless testing with documented ambient noise monitoring? Workflow integration: does the system fit how testing actually occurs at your facilities — shift patterns, location access, employee throughput needs? Data management: where do records go? Who controls access? Can historical audiograms be imported? Can results be exported for regulatory reporting? Professional oversight: does the system support the Professional Supervisor and Audiology Reviewer workflow, or require managing that separately? Total program cost: equipment, calibration, professional services, data management, and technician time — compared against what you currently pay per test. SHOEBOX: SHOEBOX PureTest addresses all five evaluation categories — ANSI S3.6 and FDA-listed compliance, on-site workflow integration, cloud-based data management with import and export, built-in Professional Supervisor and Audiology Reviewer support through SHOEBOX Audiological Services, and a predictable per-unit subscription cost model.
