Device Description

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 60s By default, temperature values are 27°C, 30°C, 37°C and 44°C. Minimal temperature reachable: 3°C over the ambient temperature Maximal temperature reachable: 48°C Water flow: fixed, 350ml/min Timer Requires a water supply and an outlet Intended user: Qualified users, ENT doctors, audiologist, nurses and medical staff trained to the device and to the caloric testing process.

GMDN Terms

Code	Name	Definition	Implantable	Status
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.	No	Active
