About this manual
This manual is valid for the EyeSeeCam system (revision 1.3). The product is manufactured by:
Interacoustics A/S

It is the purpose of this manual to provide users of the Interacoustics EyeSeeCam module with all the
information required to carry out safe and reliable measurements.
Dizziness is a frequent symptom in ENT, Neurology, and General Medicine. Part of the clinical
examination of dizzy patients is based on the head impulse test (HIT) of the vestibulo-ocular reflex
(VOR). Head impulses are movements with small positional amplitude (10-20 degrees) but high
acceleration (3.000-6.000 degrees/s2) and high velocity (150-300 degrees/s). When performed
clinically with no quantitative analysis, the test only detects the presence of a corrective saccade as an
indirect sign of a VOR deficit.
The HIT can easily be conducted at the bedside, but it has only a moderate sensitivity (63% in experts
and 72% in non-experts). Its specificity is 78% in experts and 64% in non-experts. Sensitivity,
however, can be improved to up to 100% when quantitative data of the VOR are obtained during the
head impulse. In patients with an acute unilateral vestibular deficit the quantitative HIT is as reliable as
the caloric irrigation test. Chronic patients, however, show a pathological caloric result in only 64% of
the cases but they were reliably identified by quantitative HIT. Hence, in the acute phase of a
vestibular deficit either of these tests is sufficient, but in the chronic phase, which is typical for a
vertigo and dizziness outpatient unit, the quantitative HIT is better.
EyeSeeCam with its lightweight goggles and the integrated inertial measurement unit (IMU) provides a
measurement device for an objective and quantifiable HIT. The mobile setup with a battery-driven laptop
ensures that the HIT can be applied at the patient’s bedside and in the emergency room. With it, a doctor
can objectively and reliably assess peripheral vestibular function in a few minutes and differentiate
peripheral from central vertigo. This video-based HIT is a novel, time-saving and low-cost tool that can be
readily applied in all clinical setups, such as in vertigo outpatient units or in emergency rooms.
Intended use
The EyeSeeCam vHIT is used to present information on the performance of the balance system by
providing objective measures of eye-velocity response to head-velocity stimulus, showing the VOR
gain in the plane of rotation of the head
The system is to be used by trained personnel only such as audiologists, ENT surgeons, neurologists,
hearing healthcare professionals or personnel with a similar level of education.

Power
Maximizing the power supply
Eye images in the vHIT user interface can become flickering and unstable if the power supplied to the
camera is not maximized.
These problems mainly occur in PC systems using chipset technology from INTEL.
To maximize the power supply, CPU power saving features must be disabled either in the bios setup or
via the software as described below. It is recommended to control the CPU power saving features in the
computer’s BIOS rather than via software.
Entering BIOS
BIOS setup can be entered by following the instruction on the screen shortly after the system is switched
on.
Changing BIOS setting
CPU power saving features need to be changed to have maximum power / performance by disabling
Speed Step and other power controlling features.
See example below - changes into ‘Disabled’ must be applied to the functions inside the red boxes.

Hardware setup
•Connect the USB cable to the computer
•Connect the other end of the USB cable to the EyeSeeCam camera
•Mount the camera on the goggle using the spherical ball-and-socket joint
•Mount the calibration laser on the bridge of the goggle
•Connect the computer power supply to a wall outlet, then connect to computer
Goggle setup
The vHIT goggle generally has one camera (monocular) fixed at the top side(s) of the mask. The
camera is held in place mechanically with a spherical ball-and-socket joint. The vHIT goggle has two
spherical sockets: one for the left and one for the right eye. The spherical joint allows the camera to be
moved from the mask and plugged into the spherical socket of the other side. This allows for
examining either the left or the right eye, depending on which eye is better suited for examination. This
feature is particularly useful in patients with either a glass eye or with a ptosis.

EyeSeeCam vHIT - Instructions for Use - US Page 8
Figure 3.3.1-1vHIT goggle and ball and socket joint for camera. Calibration laser is placed on the bridge of the
goggle.
The vHIT goggle suppports the USB camera that is used to record the eye images. This constitutes
the major component of your USB vHIT system.
The USB camera uses infrared light (IR), which is not visible to the naked eye. The IR illumination
enables sessions to be performed in complete darkness. Although it seems to be dark, the eye images
will be displayed as clear and visible images due to the IR-illumination.
The USB vHIT goggle functions as free field of view only.
Before using the USB vHIT goggle please consider the following:
•The goggle and camera contain sensitive electronic and optical devices. Do not expose the
goggle or cameras to mechanical shock
•Do not expose the goggle to moisture (IPX 0 according to IEC 529)
•USB vHIT goggle is not to be used around explosive gas.
In addition to the camera, there is a calibration laser in the center providing the visual fixation targets
for calibration. The laser projects a luminous dot pattern in front of the head, for example, onto the
wall, if the tested subject is sitting in front of the wall, or onto the ceiling, if the tested subject is lying.
Just like the camera, this calibration laser can also be removed together with the camera. The
calibration laser is connected to the camera by means of a flexible wire.
IR illumination
Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are positioned at the side of the camera objective lens. The lateral LEDs
emit infrared light (IR).

D-0101516-E – 2019/03
EyeSeeCam vHIT - Instructions for Use - US Page 9
Focus adjustment
The lens of the camera module allows you to focus the image. As eye sockets vary in physical
dimension from patient to patient, absolute focus requires adjustment to provide focused images – and
focused images are a precondition for stable eye tracking and noise-free data. The eye is in focus if
details of the individual patterns in the iris (iral signature) are well visible.
Figure 3.3.3-1 Focus adjustment for camera
Calibration laser Adjustment
The calibration laser, in the center of the goggle, has a knob that allows you to align the dots on the wall
by slightly rotating the knob until the 5 laser dots are aligned horizontally and vertically. Do not adjust
the calibration laser unduly. Adjust only if the dots have gone out of horizontal/vertical alignment.
