Testing procedure
Perform each of the four irrigations as follows:
Verify that a new speculum has been placed on the delivery head.
Instruct the patient to keep eyes open (VNG) or closed (ENG).
Close goggles for VNG. Have patient close their eyes for ENG.
Start collecting response and start irrigation.
Start tasking patient 20-30 seconds into irrigation.
When duration time is reached and the ICS Aircal device beeps, remove the delivery head from the patient's ear and
continue tasking.
Right after the peak of the response, allow the patient to fixate.
Collect eye movements until the response subsides.
Dispose of the speculum and carefully place the delivery head in its cradle.
If the ICS Aircal device is connected to an ICS VNG/ENG system, subsequent depressions of the flow time activation
switch will center the tracing for VNG/ENG or start the video recording for VNG. (If installed, the foot switch will also
serve to start and center tracings or start the video recording.)
