ENT Endoscopy Systems in Minnesota

iotaMotion, Inc. is a medical technology company specializing in robotic-assisted surgical systems for cochlear implant procedures. Founded in 2015 by otolaryngologists from the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, the company develops precision surgical platforms designed to enhance electrode array insertion during cochlear implant surgery. The flagship iotaSOFT® Insertion System is an open-platform robotic system that standardizes insertion speed and force control, reducing surgical variability while preserving residual hearing and minimizing intracochlear trauma. The system is designed for patients aged 4 years and older and is currently deployed across 25 surgical centers in the United States. iotaMotion addresses a significant clinical need—more than 430 million people worldwide experience disabling hearing loss—by improving surgical precision, reducing patient anxiety through standardized procedures, and enabling broader access to cochlear implantation. The company's technology supports surgeons through controlled, consistent insertion techniques while offering hospitals cost-effective implementation and patients improved standardized outcomes.

Preceptis Medical Inc. manufactures the Hummingbird Tympanostomy Tube System (TTS), an FDA-cleared medical device that enables in-office pediatric ear tube placement without general anesthesia. The system is designed for ENT surgeons to perform tympanostomy tube insertion in an office setting, addressing the approximately 1 million pediatric ear tube procedures performed annually in the United States. The Hummingbird procedure eliminates the need for operating room facilities, general anesthesia, pre-operative testing, and post-operative recovery restrictions. Clinical benefits include immediate return to normal activities, completion in minutes, and up to 65% cost savings compared to traditional OR-based surgical approaches. The device is particularly valuable for pediatric patients with recurrent otitis media, as it restores proper middle ear ventilation and reduces fluid buildup. Preceptis Medical markets the Hummingbird to ENT physicians and pediatric families, providing physician education resources, patient support materials, and a locator service to connect patients with trained providers. The company maintains FDA 510(k) clearance and appears to operate a network of participating ENT practices offering the procedure.
