Description
MT 10 Handheld Tympanometer
Professional handheld tympanometer for setting fast and reliable testing in an easy and cost-effective way. The MT10 automatic tympanometer is fast and easy to operate and provides objective and reliable 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 suitable for diagnostic use as tympanometer but it can also diagnose reflex responses, 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.
Integrated 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 connection
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 batteries.
