MAICO MB 11 Classic
Efficient Binaural Newborn Hearing Screening
The MAICO MB 11 Classic is a cutting-edge device designed for efficient and reliable newborn hearing screening. This device utilizes automated Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) testing to provide quick and accurate results, making it an essential tool for audiologists.
One of the key features of the MB 11 Classic is its use of the patented CE-Chirp® stimulus. Unlike standard clicks, the CE-Chirp® stimulates all regions of the cochlea simultaneously, generating higher responses and faster results. This advanced technology ensures highly accurate outcomes, even in typical nursery conditions.
The MB 11 Classic is designed for ease of use and flexibility. It supports a variety of disposable options, including Eartips, Infant EarCups™, and different electrode types. These disposables are significantly cheaper than those used with competitor products, offering substantial savings on monthly newborn hearing screening costs.
The device’s automatic impedance check ensures precise and clear signal conditions by verifying the conduction between the skin and the electrodes. This feature is crucial for obtaining accurate measurements and reliable results.
The updated PC software enhances the screening process by guiding users through each step with on-screen instructions. The software displays the EEG signal and noise level throughout the test, alerting users if an electrode loses contact with the skin. After the quick screening, the results are immediately displayed as “pass” or “refer,” which can be saved as a PDF or printed for documentation. The software also offers flexible data exporting options for tracking and reporting purposes.
The MB 11 Classic’s simultaneous binaural screening capability allows for efficient testing of both ears at the same time. This feature, combined with the advanced ABR detection algorithm, provides fast and reliable results within seconds. The device captures and stores all data automatically in the MB 11 database, ensuring seamless data management and easy access to patient information.
In addition to its technical capabilities, the MB 11 Classic provides valuable diagnostic information. ABR tests can detect hearing defects located behind the inner ear, such as auditory neuropathy (AN), ensuring comprehensive screening and early intervention.
