ICS AirCal

Product catalog summary
Technical Specifications
The ICS AirCal operates within a temperature range of 12°C to 50°C, with recommended settings for cool and warm stimuli at 24°C and 50°C respectively. It features a digital temperature readout with an accuracy of +/- 0.4°C and a time to temperature of less than 60 seconds. The flow rate ranges from 4 to 10 liters per minute, with a recommended setting of 8 liters per minute and an accuracy of +/- 0.4 liters per minute. The device is powered by an internally mounted compressor and supports remote control when integrated with Otometrics VNG/ENG systems. Safety features include a primary temperature read-out and a separate over-temperature cut-off.
Size and Weight
The device measures 13.5 inches in width, 12 inches in depth, and 4 inches in height, with a weight of 17.5 lbs (7.9 kg) when the reservoir is empty and 18 lbs (8.2 kg) when full.
Operating Environment
The ICS AirCal operates effectively in temperatures ranging from +15°C to +35°C, with relative humidity below 90% at 35°C non-condensing, and air pressure between 600 hPa and 1060 hPa. It should not be operated at temperatures below -20°C or above +60°C to avoid permanent damage.
Storage and Handling
For storage, the temperature range is -25°C to +60°C, with similar humidity and pressure conditions as the operating environment. The reservoir should be emptied if the device is stored for extended periods or shipped.
Calibration and Standards
Calibration is not required unless performance issues arise. The device complies with safety standards EN 60601-1, UL2601-1, CAN/CSA C22.2 NO 601.1-90, and EMC standard UL 60601-1.
Features and Benefits
The ICS AirCal offers accurate air-based stimuli comparable to water irrigation, with a superior delivery head for precise application. It features an intuitive digital display for easy operation, even in low-light conditions, and integrates seamlessly with Otometrics VNG/ENG systems for efficient workflow. The device is portable, quiet, and has a small footprint, making it suitable for various clinical settings.
