GN Otometrics ICS AirCal Cleared by FDA for Sale in U.S.

New ICS Air Caloric Irrigator Offers Improved Product Features.

Schaumburg, IL, August 29, 2012 - GN Otometrics, the world leader in hearing and balance diagnostic systems, announced today that the new ICS AirCal air caloric irrigator has received FDA clearance and is now available for sale in the United States. The ICS AirCal is a second generation of the original AirCal and offers a variety of new features and product improvements.



The ICS AirCal enables gold standard caloric irrigation by combining all the best features of air irrigation, with the precision of water irrigation. Product improvements include a condensation-resistant head, time and temperature control, water level monitors and visual and auditory signals to indicate wireless connection and testing. Additionally, it has a smaller footprint and is lighter and quieter than the caloric irrigators on the market presently.

"Otometrics and ICS have been the research and development leaders in caloric irrigators for 50 years," said Wendy Crumley, product manager at GN Otometrics. "So it makes sense that we continue to be the leaders in innovation. The ICS AirCal is the result of extensive research and listening to customer needs. For instance, based on customer feedback, we have designed the controls to be more user-friendly and they are displayed at an angle, which allows for the physician to focus more on the patient."
The ICS AirCal will be featured at the Otometrics booth #1908 at the AAO-HNSF Annual Meeting and OTO Expo, September 9-12, in Washington, D.C.
