SafKan Health Announces Partnership with Signia to Make the FDA-Cleared OtoSet Ear Cleaning System Available Through Signia Aspire

 SEATTLE, Wash – SafKan Health is excited to announce its partnership with the hearing aid innovator, Signia, to make the OtoSet^® Ear Cleaning System available through Signia Aspire. 

According to the American Academy of Otolaryngology, excessive earwax is present in over 35 million Americans including 1 in 10 children, 1 in 20 adults, and more than one-third of the senior population. Excessive or impacted earwax is very common and can cause hearing loss, tinnitus, vertigo, pain, and coughing. To address the need for a safer and more effective solution to treating impacted earwax, SafKan Health developed the first automated and FDA-cleared ear cleaning device called OtoSet^®. 

How OtoSet works

In a quick cleaning cycle, liquid flow is directed from solution containers through disposable ear tips and towards the walls of the ear canals to break down earwax. Continuous micro-suction draws the earwax and liquid back through the ear tips and into disposable waste containers for an easy, safe, effective, and mess-free procedure.

• Earwax is one of the most common reasons for hearing aid frustration and earwax tends to become harder and less mobile as you get older which can create hearing loss and prevent a full exam of the ear. 
• OtoSet^® is the first FDA-cleared ear cleaning device to remove mild to severe earwax impactions quickly and safely. 
• OtoSet^® combines and controls the two most popular methods of earwax removal, irrigation and micro-suction. 
• Allows providers to reduce referrals to otolaryngologists, creating further trust with patients and better service.
