FDA Clears Clearwater's Canadian at-Home Dizziness Treatment Device

(Wireless News Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has cleared DizzyFIX, an at-home
treatment for vertigo and dizziness which helps guide patients through
the Epley maneuver, for sale in the U.S.

"DizzyFIX will now be available by prescription in the U.S. and is
already available over-the-counter in Canada and other countries," said
Dr. Alp Sener, MD, PhD. "Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is
one of the leading causes of dizziness. Dizziness from BPPV affects as
many as 10 per cent of people over age 60."

The FDA ruling followed an extensive review by the U.S. agency of
peer-reviewed research demonstrating the effectiveness of the DizzyFIX
in treatment of BPPV.

Developed by ear, nose and throat specialists, the DizzyFIX is a
low-cost, patent-pending dynamic visual-feedback device that easily
attaches to a hat. It is used as a guide to the Epley maneuvers
(particle repositioning maneuvers) that treat the most common cause of
vertigo, BPPV.

As many as one in ten people over the age of 60 will suffer from the
sudden spinning attacks that characterize BPPV, which can cause nausea,
falls and long-term disability.

"Patients who suffer from vertigo now have an alternative to simply


masking the symptoms with drug therapy," says Dr. Matthew Bromwich,
DizzyFIX inventor and ear, nose and throat specialist. "DizzyFIX
enables patients to treat and cure their own symptoms from the comfort
of their own home."

Clearwater Clinical is a Canadian company whose partners met during
their education and are either in training or have recently completed
training as specialist physicians and surgeons, clinical and basic
scientists, computer specialists and businessmen.



Their primary objective is to foster the development of novel concepts
in medical technology and introduce them into the marketplace.
