IntroductionThe Aircalorisator is a device used for caloric tests in ENG (Electronystagmography) and VNG (Videonystagmography) diagnostics, developed by HOMOTH Medizinelektronik GmbH & Co KG. It is recognized for its ease of use and effectiveness in ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) diagnostics worldwide.
AdvantagesThe device uses air for caloric stimulation, which eliminates the need for water collection and connections. It is suitable for patients with perforated eardrums and can be used in any patient position.
