The AirC is an air caloric stimulator intended to deliver controlled warm or cool air to the external ear canal for caloric vestibular stimulation during vestibular function testing.
An assembly of devices intended to evaluate a patient’s vestibular function through the application of heat and/or cold stimuli in the form of a stream of air or water into the ear canal, whereby involuntary horizontal eye movements (nystagmus) are produced and measured using a nystagmograph. The procedure may also be referred to as caloric reflex test, and is typically used for assessing a patient's balance system and/or to test for brainstem death. It typically consists of an irrigation system that includes a pump, valves, heaters and regulators to control the rate of flow and temperature of the medium. This device is typically used in an ear/nose/throat (ENT) department.
