Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Clinical ValidationExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The clinical validation phase includes the same procedures as the algorithm development phase only, the clinical validation phase is a double blind study where ultrasound score is compared to surgical findings and lab analysis.
Group II: Algorithm DevelopmentExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Ultrasound and signal information and visual otoscopic images will be collected with an engineering prototype otoscope device for children scheduled for tympanostomy tube surgery. Images of each of the child's ears will be taken by the advanced ultrasound otoscope device. Data collected will include ear laterality, surgical and lab findings of the effusion (present or absent) and characteristics as reported by the surgeon. The middle ear fluid which is usually suctioned will be collected in a trap chamber- Tympap- and this collected fluid will be send for analysis to microbiology. The pathology results will be recorded to correlate ultrasound signals to surgical findings
