Thank you for choosing the ScopeAround Ear Specula Set. This manual provides essential information for the proper and safe use of your new ear specula. These disposable tips are designed to enhance hygiene and safety when using compatible ScopeAround digital otoscopes. Please read this manual thoroughly before use and retain it for future reference.

2. Product Overview

The ScopeAround Ear Specula Set consists of 50 disposable ear specula, specifically designed to fit ScopeAround digital otoscopes with a diameter of 4.3mm and 3.9mm. These include models SA39W, SA39i, M28, and MS450.

  • Improved Hygiene: Acts as a barrier to prevent cross-infection between users or during repeated examinations.
  • Optimal Compatibility: Precisely engineered for a secure fit with specified ScopeAround otoscope models.
  • Convenient Quantity: A set of 50 pieces ensures a sufficient supply for multiple uses.

3. Setup

Before each use, attach a new, clean ear speculum to your compatible ScopeAround digital otoscope.

  1. Ensure your ScopeAround otoscope is clean and powered off.
  2. Select one ear speculum from the set.
  3. Gently push the wider end of the speculum onto the tip of the otoscope camera until it is securely seated. Ensure it is firmly attached and does not wobble.
  4. Verify that the speculum does not obstruct the camera lens or the LED lights of the otoscope.

4. Operating

The ear specula are designed to be used in conjunction with your ScopeAround digital otoscope to safely examine the ear canal.

  1. With the speculum securely attached, gently insert the tip into the ear canal. The speculum acts as a guide and a protective barrier.
  2. Always insert slowly and carefully, observing the live feed from your otoscope. Do not force the speculum into the ear canal.
  3. The speculum prevents the otoscope from being inserted too deeply, safeguarding the eardrum from accidental contact.
  4. After examination, carefully withdraw the otoscope from the ear.

5. Maintenance

The ear specula are designed for single-use to ensure maximum hygiene and prevent cross-contamination.

  • After each use, remove the used speculum from the otoscope.
  • Dispose of the used speculum immediately in a waste bin. Do not reuse specula.
  • Clean the tip of your ScopeAround otoscope according to its specific instruction manual after removing the speculum.

6. Troubleshooting

  • Speculum does not fit the otoscope: Ensure your otoscope is one of the compatible models (SA39W, SA39i, M28, MS450) and has a 4.3mm or 3.9mm diameter tip. If it is, try gently twisting the speculum as you push it on. Do not force it.
  • View is unclear with speculum attached: Check that the speculum is fully seated and not obstructing the camera lens or LED lights. Ensure the otoscope lens itself is clean.
  • Speculum feels loose: Ensure it is pushed on firmly. If it continues to feel loose, it may be incompatible or defective. Use a new speculum.
