New immittance solution by Otometrics with innovative, lightweight probes delivers quick sealing, maximum control and reliable results.
Schaumburg, IL | September 7, 2016 – GN Otometrics, the leading global manufacturer of audiology instrumentation and software solutions announced that the new MADSEN® Zodiac—its newest immittance testing solution—was recently cleared by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The new solution, built from the ground up with special focus on the probes, brings greater control, confidence and efficiency to immittance testing.
“We worked closely with hearing care professionals to develop MADSEN Zodiac,” says Clément Sanchez, audiologist and product manager at Otometrics. “Our ambition was to build an immittance solution that is responsive, efficient and reliable throughout. If you take a close look at the details, for example, the ergonomic probes, a truly intuitive interface, the robust, responsive pump, cleanable surfaces, integrated workflow and many other fine features, you quickly discover that MADSEN Zodiac delivers on what hearing care professionals need in immittance testing – control, confidence and efficiency from beginning to end.”
Distinctive probe design with Dual Probe™ option
The new MADSEN Zodiac is designed with particular focus on the probes and the way clinicians work during immittance testing. There are three probes – Quick Check for screening and Classic or Comfort diagnostic probes for advanced testing. The probes are ergonomic, easy to use and lightweight, helping clinicians to achieve faster and more stable placement and a reliable seal.
MADSEN Zodiac is the only immittance testing solution with a dual probe option. This allows the clinician to keep the screening probe and the diagnostic probe connected at the same time – all the time – ready to use for uninterrupted workflow. In addition, light and audio indicators on the probes provide immediate information about the seal, which ear you are testing and when the test starts and stops. Remote controls on the probes and shoulder strap allow clinicians to stay close to the patient throughout the test.
Streamlined immittance screening and testing
MADSEN Zodiac has a dedicated immittance module based on OTOsuite® software – the shared integrated interface for all Otometrics hearing assessment and fitting solutions. A flat menu structure and easy to use software makes it easy to work in the system without getting lost. Clinicians can work with immittance, assessment, OAE, video otoscopy and fitting in one easy to use system. Flexible data handling enables you to combine data from one or all of your devices and create professional, customized reports.
MADSEN Zodiac is available in three versions: Quick Check, Diagnostic and Clinical and as stand-alone or PC-based solutions, with the PC-based solution optimized for touch screen. For more information about MADSEN Zodiac, please visit www.audiologysystems.com/zodiac.
