Advanced Bionics Launches Active Insertion Monitoring (AIM) System: An Innovative Monitoring Solution for Implant Surgery and Post-Op
AIM stands for Active Insertion Monitoring, and is designed to be an invaluable tool for surgeons and hearing care professionals working with cochlear implant patients.
- AIM stands for Active Insertion Monitoring, and is designed to be an invaluable tool for surgeons and hearing care professionals working with cochlear implant patients.
- The challenge with CI surgery today is that surgeons have no objective means of monitoring the function of the cochlea during electrode insertion.
- The AIM system addresses this issue by using the implant to record ECochG, a proven1 measure of cochlear health, during insertion.
- Utilizing the advanced measurement capabilities of the AB implant technology, AIM is able to measure ECochG potentials in real-time and provide feedback to the surgeon during electrode insertion.
