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 120s
Warm air caloric stimulator
Minimal temperature reachable: 5°C over the ambient temperature
Maximal temperature reachable: 48°C
Air flow: fixed, from 10 to 13l/min, without ear tip
Timer
Intended user: Qualified users, ENT doctors, audiologist, nurses and medical staff trained to the device and to the
caloric testing process.

| 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.
