Interacoustics MT10 Handheld Tympanometer with IPSI-REFLEX

MT 10 Handheld Tympanometer with IPSI-REFLEX

Professional handheld tympanometer for setting fast and reliable testing in an easy and cost-effective way.

Objective analysis

The MT10 automatic tympanometer is fast and easy to operate and provides objective measures that cannot be obtained by otoscopy alone.

Easy and fast tympanograms

Results can be obtained with little efforts and with no response required from the patient. This is especially beneficial when dealing with difficult-to-test patients or small children.

Clinical application

The MT10 is also suitable for diagnostic use as tympanometer and reflex responses are all recorded with detail. With MT10 you can detect otitis media (a major cause of temporary or permanent hearing impairment in children), a perforated eardrum, cholesteatomas and certain neurological disorders. You can also check tympanostomy tubes and follow up on post medical treatments.

Ipsilateral Acoustic Reflex

Four different reflex tests at 500, 1,000, 2,000, 4,000 Hz may be performed per ear using either fixed or automatic intensity selection. The test is carried out at the correct pressure level and the actual reflex characteristics are displayed on the screen for the operator to view and interpret.

30 patients in memory

The MT10 can hold test results of up to 30 patients in its memory. This makes it possible to screen a large group of patients and print out the data later.

PC-integration

Full data-transfer to PC through optional infrared USB interface and software. Supplied with handle, set of 139 disposable ear-tips (mixed sizes) and 4x1.5 V, manual in GB, DE, FR, IT, ES, SE, GR, PT, DK, FI, CZ, PL, LT, EE, HU, NL, NO, IS, RO, MK.
