The air caloric stimulator is a device that delivers a stream of air to the ear canal at controlled rates of flow and temperature and that is intended for vestibular function testing of a patient's body balance system. The vestibular stimulation of the semicircular canals produces involuntary eye movements.The handle is equipped with an otoscope head where a disposable ear tips can be fixed for easy management of hygiene. The otoscope handle provides also a magnifying glass and integrated light to inspect the ear canal and the tympanic membrane without obstructing the stimulation.By default, temperature values are 27°C, 30°C, 44°C and 47°C.Five stimulation times are available: 40, 60, 80,100 and 120sWarm air caloric stimulatorMinimal temperature reachable: 5°C over the ambient temperatureMaximal temperature reachable: 48°CAir flow: fixed, from 10 to 13l/min, without ear tipTimerIntended user: Qualified users, ENT doctors, audiologist, nurses and medical staff trained to the device and to thecaloric testing process.
