Epley Omniax System featured in ENT Today
The Epley Omniaxwas featured as a recommended technology for
referral clinics in a special report: Vestibular Testing
Modalities Enter the Digital Age. The technology was
listed in a table for tests that can be performed in referral
clinics. A picture of the Epley OmniaxTM featured prominently in the
story as well as a graphic depiction of an Epley Maneuver,
considered the standard of care for BPPV, the most common
form of vestibular disorder.
Also featured in the report were Dr. John Epley, a co-founder
of Vesticon and practicing neurotologist, and Dr. James
Soileau, a clinical investigator for the Epley Omniax.
Excerpt - Dizzy patients are among the most
challenging, time-consuming cases that are seen in
otolaryngologists' offices. The cause of the vertigo is often
difficult to establish, and effective treatment is often
elusive. Therefore, it can be helpful to know which
vestibular tests can be effectively conducted in the general
otolaryngology clinic and which ones are typically performed
in a referral clinic specializing in balance disorders.
