Overview
Comprehensive and portable, the Chartr 200
VNG / ENG from ICS is avestibular testing system that provides
state-of-the-art features based on ICS’ 30 years of experience in
audiology. It handles all traditional vestibular test functions and
capabilities for securing data and consolidating patient records. Combining the two most important tests, video and electronystagmography,
into ICS’ single device, it also incorporates a comprehensive test
battery, customizable report templates and a built-in Interpretation
Assistant™. The Interpretation Assistant™ is a unique diagnostic
algorithm that supports you in making comfortable diagnoses and accurate
test interpretations .
Precise, accurate data collection
Dedicated hardware ensures a smooth stimulus presentation and
accurate data collection. For oculomotor tests, the device allows the
collected data to be synchronized with the precise corresponding
stimulus position and buffered-in hardware. The computer performs
real-time data analysis without lagging or dropping data points.
Options to make your device work harder for you
The built-in ENG module completes the
system and ensures that the clinic or office doesn’t have to turn away
patients who can’t be tested using VNG and the goggles. ICS Chartr 200
is available in a VNG-only and an ENG-only device in addition to the
combined model. The convenient remote-control or optional footswitch
lets you operate the software from a distance, so personal contact with
the patient can be maintained during testing.
Take it anywhere
In addition to its precision, accuracy and
flexibility, the Chartr VNG / ENG system features effortless
portability. Compact hardware and a lightweight light bar mean the
device can be moved easily between offices and connected to a laptop via
USB for off-site work. Lightweight VG40 Video Goggles add to the portability while also ensuring patient comfort. In addition, they are
also noise- and drift-free.
Timesaving integration with ICS Caloric Irrigators and Evoked Potentials
Our computer-based VNG and ENG systems
offer integration of the caloric stimulation function. The program
remotely selects warm and cool temperatures. Test initiation
simultaneously starts the recording and the caloric countdown timer.
Combining the ICS Chartr 200 with the ICS Chartr EP 200 provides a combined patient database.
The ICS Chartr EP 200 offers the ability to collect a neurological ABR,
Electrocochleography, and VEMP* which add value to the vestibular test
battery.
