The GSI TympStar sets the standard for clinical Middle-Ear testing. The sophistication, functionality and flexibility of the GSI TympStar provides unparalleled testing capabilities. The GSI TympStar’s ergonomically designed control panel allows you to select a test protocol by simply pressing a button, and its large screen makes for easy viewing of test parameters, possible alteatives and test results. The high-speed printer generates reports in concise graphical or tabular formats. GSI TympStar options include a VGA monitor for displaying test results, an exteal printer that produces test results in a larger format, and a keyboard for entering patient information. The GSI TympStar also offers several options for managing and archiving data including inteal memory for 26 tests and a standard RS232 for data exchange.

Tympanometry

The GSI TympStar offers automatic or manual 226 Hz tympanometry in a diagnostic or screening mode. Sensitivity scales are automatically determined based on the peak amplitude of the tympanogram. The built-in screen can simultaneously display up to three tests, helping you to determine the presence or absence of a peak on a low-amplitude tympanogram.

Acoustic Reflex Threshold Testing

Acoustic reflex testing with the GSI TympStar allows you to automatically or manually time the tone presentation. Multiple stimuli and intensities are available to determine the threshold level for the acoustic reflex. Automatic threshold determination and threshold marking are available.

Reflex-Decay Testing

The GSI TympStar’s screen clearly displays reflex decay time in seconds, as well as marks the five and ten second interval points.

Eustachian Tube Function (ETF) Testing

Two separate test modes are available, one for testing ETF with an intact tympanic membrane (TM) and one for testing ETF in a perforated TM. The ETF mode for an intact TM eliminates the need to instruct a patient to perform a Toynbee or Valsalva test.
