NOVUS
AABR/OAE NEWBORN SCREENER
The new GSI Novus™ is a lightweight, hand-held, comprehensive newborn hearing screening instrument. The Novus features a touch screen display and user-friendly software in a compact hardware design. The Novus may be configured with AABR, OAE, or both which allows for seamless two stage infant screening.
RAPID PASS/REFER TESTING
With a single start selection, you may run AABR or OAE tests. The Novus will evaluate probe stability and automatically begin the testing routine. Powerful response detection algorithms for OAE and ABR ensure the Novus will quickly assign a pass or refer result.
PORTABLE
Newborn screening devices need to be efficient and portable.The Novus is the perfect solution for a busy hospital that needs a device that is reliable, maneuverable, and fast.
DEPENDABLE
A newborn screening program has no time for device malfunctions. The Novus is designed to withstand the constant, intense nature of hospital screening and is a device that you can rely on, day in and day out.
EASY TO USE
A newborn screening device that is too complicated can be inefficient and slow down training and workflow. The Novus has a straight-forward and logical interface that hospital screeners can learn quickly and with confidence.
TEST BOTH EARS SIMULTANEOUSLY
The Novus gives you the ability to test both ears at the same time with a sophisticated ABR algorithm, saving time. The device differentiates ears by using alternative simulation rates.
KEY NEWBORN SCREENER FEATURES
1. COMBINED AABR/OAE TESTING
The Novus can combine AABR and OAE capabilities into one device. Reduce training time and screen infants in well-baby and NICU nurseries with one device.
2. CE-CHIRP STIMULI FOR ABR
CE-Chirp ABR responses are twice as large as traditional click stimulus. Larger responses result in faster test times.
3. QUICK TEST OPTION
Perform a test without needing to enter demographic information. Ideal when training new staff.
4. AUTOMATED PASS/REFER
Save time with automatic results as soon as pass/refer criteria are met. The Novus is optimized for the infant ear.
5. TOUCH SCREEN DISPLAY
Screening staff feels an instant comfort with the intuitive touch screen display and can navigate seamlessly through the testing screens.
6. WIRELESS CHARGING
A wireless charging dock is available with the Novus. Screening tests can be completed any time when the battery is low and is placed in the dock. A fully charged Novus can last for approximately 50 ABR screens or 150 OAE screens.
AABR
The Novus uses fast rate automated auditory brainstem response (AABR) technology with a powerful response detection algorithm.
OAE
Distortion Product Otoacoustic Emissions (DPOAE) and Transient Evoked Otoacoustic Emission (TEOAE) protocols provide visual feedback to the screener through every step of the screening test.
RESILIENT BATTERY LIFE
A heavy testing workload is no problem for the Novus. The Novus is capable of performing approximately 50 ABR or 150 OAE screens on a single charge. When the battery is low, testing may continue while the Novus is stationed in the cradle.
HearSIM
HearSIM™ software is a dynamic tool that has everything you need to manage your newborn hearing screening program. Store, view, and print test results. Export patient and testing information. Customize the Novus settings.
