Overview

When speed, safety, and accuracy matter most, hospitals choose the GSI 70 Automated OAE newborn hearing screener from Grason-Stadler. The GSI 70 is ideal for the demanding setting of well-baby or NICU nurseries: it's fast, easy to use, intelligently and ergonomically designed, and backed by Grason-Stadler's reputation for quality and service. There are two versions of the GSI 70 - the Single-Patient model, which is suited for hospitals with fewer than 500 births per year, and the Multi-Patient model, which easily meets the screening and data-management requirements of nurseries handling larger newborn populations.

You can have results in as few as 10 seconds per ear when babies are properly prepared for this noninvasive otoacoustic emissions (OAE) test. Several features make the GSI 70 one of the fastest automated OAE screeners available. Our superior probe design reduces the noise that can interfere with OAE testing, resulting in a faster, more accurate screening result. The system's intelligent design produces just enough tones to get an accurate assessment in as little time as possible. And the portable screener makes it easier and faster to bring the test to the baby. The GSI 70 offers all that you'd expect from Grason-Stadler, the leader in hearing testing since 1949.

The GSI 70 is easy to use. Just enter the name, run the test, and store the data. The simplicity is in the system's three large buttons - green to present the tones, blue and pink for saving results from the left and right ears. A foot switch enables hands-free operation so you can comfort a baby or steady the probe tip. The Multi-Patient version features a convenient touch screen and stylus for selecting names, and all test results can be easily transferred for data management and auditing. Learning to operate the GSI70 is easy. Grason-Stadler's training program includes a 10-minute video, instructional booklet, and user manual to ensure confidence and comfort in operating the GSI 70 Automated OAE hearing screener.

As more states mandate universal newborn hearing screening, proper documentation becomes essential. Both the Single-Patient and Multi-Patient models provide hard-copy results of the left and right ears, combined in the same graphical report. When printed on adhesive paper, it's simple to include this report in the patient's file. The Multi-Patient version takes data management to a new level with software that makes it easy to download multiple baby names from your PC, select the name of the baby being tested, and then reliably transfer and store results after completing a screening session. Data can also be exported to the GSI 60, a diagnostic OAE system you may have in an on-site audiology clinic, or to OZ, a software program that tracks results and can customize communications to notify parents and physicians of screening results. These features add tremendous value in helping hospitals with audits and complying with state mandates.
