. If your child has ever suffered from a painful earache, and that includes most parents, you’ll be delighted to hear about PhotoniCare. The Champaign, Illinois startup recently expanded to North Carolina, where it has set up shop at the North Carolina Biotechnology Center’s Landing Pad. PhotoniCare has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration clearance to market its OtoSight Middle Ear Scope. OtoSight is a patented hand-held device that uses near-infrared light waves (optical coherence tomography, or OCT) to provide a uniquely important view of the tissue of the middle ear behind the eardrum. The device allows medical practitioners to more-accurately determine the presence or absence of fluid in the middle ear and visualize the type of fluid causing the ear infections that plague more than 80% of children. These infections are a leading cause of hearing loss, surgery and antibiotic use.
