4.4 Disposal:

Please note that (rechargeable) batteries must be disposed of specially. Information about this
can be obtained from your municipality or from your responsible environmental consultant.
5. Attaching instrument heads
Attach the required instrument head to the mount on the upper part of the handle so that the two
recesses on the lower part of the instrument head align with the two protruding guide pins of the
battery handle. Gently press the instrument head onto the battery handle and turn the handle
clockwise until it stops. The head is removed by turning it anti-clockwise.

5.1. Switching on and off

With battery handles type C and AA, switch on the instrument by tapping the switching ring on
the upper part of the handle in a clockwise direction. To turn the instrument off, turn the ring
anti-clockwise until the device turns off.
5.2. rheotronic® to regulate light intensity
The rheotronic® allows for the light intensity to be adjusted on the type C and AA battery hand-
les. The light intensity will be weaker or stronger depending on how often you move the switch
ring in the clockwise or anti-clockwise direction.
CAUTION!
The light intensity is at 100%, every time the battery handle is turned on. Automatic safety
shutdown after 180 seconds.

6. EliteVue® otoscope
Device function:
1) Ear specula
2) Bayonet mount

3) Focusing wheel

4) Lens system, 5.5x magnification
5) Push button for ear specula ejection

6.1. Purpose/indication

The Riester EliteVue otoscope described in these operating instructions is produced for illumina-
tion and examination of the auditory canal in combination with a Riester ear specula.

6.2. Attaching and removing ear specula

The otoscope head can take either disposable Riester ear specula (in black) or reusable Riester
ear specula (in black). The size of the ear speculum is marked at the back of the speculum.
Welch Allyn specula can also be used.
L1 and L2 specula
Turn the speculum clockwise until you feel resistance. To remove the speculum, turn it an-
ti-clockwise.
L3 specula
Place the selected speculum on the chromed metal fitting of the otoscope until it clicks into
place. To be able to remove the speculum, press the blue eject button. The speculum will be
ejected automatically.
6.3 Focusing wheel
The focusing wheel gives you the option to set the focus in the ear canal (eardrum). The high
quality lens system offers 5.5x magnification and a field of view of 11 mm in diameter at a
distance of about 20mm.

6.4 Pneumatic otoscopy

Pneumatic otoscopy (= an examination of the eardrum), requires a ball which is not included in
normal delivery but may be ordered separately. The hose of the ball is put on the connection. You
can now carefully fill the ear canal with the necessary amount of air.
