The water caloric stimulator is a device that delivers a stream of water 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.An internal chronometer offers through a second rotary switch the possibility to select the stimulation time. Five stimulation times are available: 20, 30, 40,50 and 60sBy default, temperature values are 27°C, 30°C, 37°C and 44°C.Minimal temperature reachable: 3°C over the ambient temperatureMaximal temperature reachable: 48°CWater flow: fixed, 350ml/minTimerRequires a water supply and an outletIntended user: Qualified users, ENT doctors, audiologist, nurses and medical staff trained to the device and to thecaloric testing process.
An assembly of devices intended to apply heat stimuli in the form of a stream of air or water into the ear canal. 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. The stimulation of the semicircular canal produces involuntary eye movements (nystagmus) which are measured using a nystagmograph. It is used for vestibular function testing for assessing the patient's balance system. This device is typically used in an ear/nose/throat (ENT) department.
