BLOOMINGTON, Minn., March 17, 2004 - GN Otometrics, the world leader in hearing and balance diagnostic systems, will introduce OTOflex 100, the first and only Bluetooth wireless immittance diagnostic system, at the American Academy of Audiology's annual conference in Salt Lake City next month. OTOflex 100 offers a comprehensive battery of diagnostic and/or screening tests to assess middle ear conditions. High frequency tympanometry and reflex testing with broad band noise stimulus (ipsi and contra) are now available in a compact and truly portable design. Available in both a Quick Screen version and a full diagnostic version, OTOflex 100 is a seamless PC interactive wireless system that brings mobility and speed to immittance testing.
"This advanced generation of technology will allow immittance testing to be conducted in an entirely new way," said Terry Ross, vice president of sales at GN Otometrics. "Now, audiologists can conveniently bring the test to the patient, capture data and print reports quickly without the cumbersome cabling and space-taking designs of equipment of the past. This truly is the future of diagnostic testing."
