Otoscope
The Otoscope is designed to examine the external ear and for general non-invasive
examination.
Features:
- Made from Impact Resistant re-enforced plastic and highly reliable corrosion resistant
stainless steel.
- Easy replacement of lamp.
- Distal fibre optic illumination with super bright 3.5V Xenon/Halogen.
- Insufflation port pneumatic testing of tympanic mobility.
- Swivel type window with 3x Magnification lense for sharp images and minimal Reflection.
The Otoscope should only be used to examine the ear when a tip is fitted.
Pressure should be applied with great care when doing pneumatic testing.
OPERATING INSTRUCTION
Attach the otoscope head to the handle by bayonet locking system, it is necessary to hold
the battery handle and head in each hand and match the bayonet grooves on both the head
and handle, push the head down and turn the head clock wise as in Fig.1.
1. Check that the connection between the head and handle is perfect and that the rheostat
works properly.

reusable (black) tip is fitted. Push the tip onto the instrument so that the internal projection
engages in the slit (A) as in Fig.1. Twist to the right to lock.
Changing the lamp:
With the Otoscope, first unlock the head from the handle and pull the lamp (D) downwards
as in Fig.2. Push in the new lamp.
Magnifying lens:
The lens (B) has 3 x magnifications and can be swiveled aside for instrumentation.
Insufflations port:
An insufflations bulb can be fitted to the port (C). A separately Insufflations bulb is used for
pneumatic testing of tympanic mobility.
General illumination:
The Otoscope can be used with or without a tip for general illumination of e.g. the oral cavity
or skin. Avoid contact with sensitive or damaged skin.
