Description

Vesticam2 Infrared Video Goggles – Binocular

Vesticam’s vestibular IR video goggles (Video Frenzel goggles) support clinicians to get to the root cause of dizziness, vertigo and other vestibular problems.

The eye is a window to your patient’s vestibular system. Vestibular clinicians, specialists, and emergency physicians need to observe and interpret small, fleeting eye movements to accurately diagnose and manage vestibular and balance conditions. But even with thorough training and ideal conditions, observations can be difficult.

Vesticam2 is an infra-red video eye-movement recording system. The system provides a clear recording of eye movements, with and without fixation. Clinicians can observe real time and also review transient eye movements during standard vestibular oculomotor tests.

Portable, lightweight and able to be used with most android smartphones, laptops and computers, Vesticam2 was designed with your clinical needs and patients in mind. The result is a system that works simply and seamlessly in a clinical setting to enhance your diagnostic capabilities.

RELIABLE VESTIBULAR ASSESSMENT

EASY TO ADJUST
Fits a wide range of face shapes and sizes. Goggles can be effortlessly focussed and adjusted through a 22mm inter-pupillary range.

EASY TO SET UP & USE
Does not require extensive IT knowledge or technical training. Set up takes less than a minute. Intuitive and user friendly.

EASY TO TRANSPORT AND SHARE
Lightweight and compact, the goggles are designed to move from room to room or clinic to clinic. Upload and save videos using your usual EMR pathways, then share easily for a second opinion

EASY TO CLEAN
No need for autoclaving. Simply use effective, anti-microbial wipes to clean face plate and head band.

FULLY ADJUSTABLE AND EASY TO FOCUS
Fits a wide range of face shapes and sizes. Goggles can be effortlessly focussed and adjusted through a 22 mm inter-pupillary range.

USE WITH OR WITHOUT FIXATION
Camera units come with internal fixation light which can be switched on or off during testing. Removable eye patch also allows patients to quickly see the world again, to reduce anxiety, allow for patient relocation and support monocular OMT recording.

EFFORTLESS CAMERA SWAP BETWEEN EYES
Camera units can be switched from one eye to the other in seconds. Simple twist and lock mechanism prevents any image slippage.

REVIEW, SAVE AND SHARE VIDEO FILES
Upload and save videos using your usual EMR pathways. Replay videos at normal or half speed and quickly and easily share recordings for a second opinion.

FAQ

1. Do I need monocular or binocular IR Video Goggles?
Both monocular (one camera) and binocular (two cameras) units enable you to record eye movement during 15 different bedside vestibular tests, including Emory Clinical Vestibular Chair test.

The primary difference between the two units is that binocular goggles allow you to view disconjugate eye movement. For some clinicians this may not be critical, but it can be valuable advanced vestibular clinicians, and for those working in areas such as neurology or traumatic brain injury.

Note that when testing with binocular goggles, a computer must be used to record eye movement. This allows viewing of both eyes and a room camera, but makes them less compact and versatile than monocular goggles which can be used with smartphone, tablet or computer.

Vesticam2 IR video goggles come standard as monocular units. An extra camera unit and leads can be purchased separately to allow for binocular viewing. Once set up for binocular, you can easily unclip one camera unit to use as monocular.

2. Does Vesticam2 have an internal fixation light?
Yes! Press the button at the end of the joy-stick to switch the internal fixation light on and off. The goggles must be attached to a recording device for the fixation light to work.

3. Can I swap the camera to record either eye?
Yes! Camera units can be switched from one eye to the other in seconds. The simple twist and lock mechanism prevents any image slippage. The eye cover can be removed and swapped in the same way.

4. What tests can I use Vesticam2 goggles for?
Vesticam2 IR goggles make it possible to use tests that are sensitive, specific and have a low vulnerability to bias. Vesticam2 supports 15 clinically and academically accepted vestibular tests. Click here for a full list.
Adding a second camera enables you to use Vesticam2 as a binocular unit to view disconjugate eye movement.
Vesticam units cannot be used for Test of Skew or Convergence testing.

5. Does Vesticam2 fit the faces of small children as well as adults?
Yes! Vesticam2 has a robust but flexible goggle mounting plate that has been designed to fit young and old, and broad and small faces. The ability to slide the camera through 22mm range combined with the patented Vesticam joystick add even more flexibility and comfort for your patients.

6. Can patients use Vesticam2 with a face mask in place?
Yes! Because the Vesticam2 Video Goggles keep the patient’s nose free, they remain completely light tight, even if the patient is wearing a face mask.

7. What’s included with Vesticam2?
Vesticam2 comes standard as monocular IR video goggles with no recording device. The monocular package includes:
• Flexible and adjustable goggles mounting plate, with quick release side buckles

10. What recording devices can be used with the Vesticam2 IR video goggles?
Vesticam IR video goggles can be used with an android smartphone, tablet, or computer (PC or Mac).

To view and record eye movement on an android phone or tablet, you will need the Vesticam App. The Vesticam App is intuitive and user-friendly android software designed for vestibular clinicians. The App will not work on an iPhone or computer.

To view and record eye movement on a computer (PC or Mac) you can use either the standard video viewing software which comes with most computers, or freely available encrypted OBS software. Vesticam recommends and supports the use of OBS, and provides free setup support of OBS with modifications to make it perfect for use by vestibular clinicians.

11. Can I use the Vesticam2 IR goggles with my own smart phone?
An android recording device supplied by Vesticam comes with the free Vesticam App pre-installed, is fast, has good quality screen image and good quality sound for recording.
Vesticam IR video goggles can be used with most android mobile phones/smartphones and tablets with operating systems > version 9. To use your own smartphone with Vesticam IR video goggles you will need to upload the Vesticam App.
Eye movement videos are considered medical records. Vesticam does not recommend or support using a phone with a SIM card in situ.
