AABR/OAE NEWBORN SCREENER

The GSI Novus™ is a sleek, handheld, comprehensive newborn hearing screener. The Novus features a touch screen display and intuitive software in a compact hardware design. The Novus may be configured with any combination of auditory brainstem response (ABR) and otoacoustic emissions (TEOAE and DPOAE) which allows for seamless two stage infant hearing screening.

RAPID PASS/REFER TESTING

With a single start selection, you may run ABR 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.

1. COMBINED ABR/OAE TESTING

The Novus can combine ABR 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 hearing 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.
