Section 508 compliance may be reviewed by the Section 508 Office and appropriate remedial action required if necessary. The Implementer of this technology has the responsibility to ensure the version deployed is 508-compliant. This technology has not been assessed by the Section 508 Office. Prior to use of this technology, users should check with their supervisor, Information Security Officer (ISO), Facility Chief Information Officer (CIO), or local Office of Information and Technology (OI&T) representative to ensure that all actions are consistent with current VA policies and procedures prior to implementation. Users must ensure sensitive data is properly protected in compliance with all VA regulations. Users must ensure their use of this technology/standard is consistent with VA policies and standards, including, but not limited to, VA Handbooks 61 VA Directives 6004, 6513, and 6517 and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standards, including Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS). However, this necessitates supporting prior versions of this technology. The VA has a five year contract window with Siemens which allows VA to support older hearing devices. Please note that previous versions of Connexx have legacy Siemens products built into this product as sub-components including SHS6 Common, SHS6 Fitting, and SHS6 Unity Fitting. A NOAH (SQL-based) database implementation is also used to measure hearing loss with audiogram and speech tests or loudness scaling. This technology saves patient data via a proprietary database component that is packaged with this product. Additionally, the software maintains a history and trending of patient visits. The product supports fitting the instrument and controlling frequency settings, microphone settings and controlling for other factors such as tinnitus. The technology allows for customizing the hearing instrument and the microphone to the individual`s needs.
