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 tip 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.
CoolStar is ideal when water can not be used for stimulation (tympanic membrane perforation, …), when water inlet and outlet are not available in the examination room and when ambient room temperature exceeds 22°C.
Cool and warm air caloric stimulator
Minimal temperature reachable: 10°C with water temperature in glass jar below 50°C

| 34891 | Diagnostic caloric vestibular stimulation system |
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.
