Cellscope Oto FG1199 Instructions For Use Download Page 2

FOR ADULTS AND CHILDREN OVER AGE 3:

1.  Sit your child in a comfortable place and ask your child to stay as still as possible. 

2.  It’s helpful for the child to be in an upright position during the exam.

3.  Gently pull the outer flap of the affected ear UPWARD and BACKWARD to  

straighten the ear canal.

4.  Insert the tip and look at the iPhone screen to see inside the canal. 

5.  Aim towards the darkest area as this indicates a deeper area of the canal where  

the eardrum is found.

Video tutorials (which include sample images of the eardrum) are available for viewing within  
the mobile app and on the web at 

www.cellscope.com/support/videos

MOBILE APP OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

the recording screen.

7.  Once you have captured a view of the eardrum on the iPhone screen, tap the camera button 

again to end the recording (there is no required video length).

8.  Repeat steps for 3-6 for the other ear.

9.  Follow the instructions within the app to add additional information to the exam,

11. Clean the reusable tip for future use.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

This device may only be used for inspection of the external ear canal and eardrum. Do not use for 
any purpose other than an otoscopic exam to avoid injury or damage to the device. If you can see 
something stuck in the ear canal, do not insert the otoscope.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:

CAUTION: This device is not designed or intended to provide a diagnosis of ear infections or 
other ailments of the ear. This device should not be used as a basis for starting or modifying 
treatment without independent confirmation by medical examination. Do not attempt 

self-diagnosis or self-treatment based on the recording results and analysis. Self-diagnosis or 
self-treatment may lead to deterioration of your health. 

CAUTION: Proper care and handling is essential for satisfactory performance of the Oto device.  
Examine the device thoroughly before and after use. If any damage or irregularities are found,  
do not use the device.

•  To avoid injury, do not place Oto attachment directly against skin or other objects. Light emitted  

from the Oto may be intense enough to increase surface temperature or cause damage to 
objects or living beings. 

•  Use appropriate tips for the age and anatomy of the patient to avoid possible discomfort.

•  Patients should always consult their physician if they notice changes in their health,  

regardless of ear exam results. 

•  To avoid cross-contamination between patients, do not reuse the same tip without disinfecting it 

prior to use. See Cleaning Instructions.

•  Do not use the device with any objects plugged into the iPhone 5/5s Lightning® connector,  

the headphone jack or other non-standard areas of the iPhone 5/5s. 

•  Do not use in the presence of flammable anesthetics, drugs or pressurized oxygen (such as in a 

hyperbaric chamber, ultraviolet sterilizer or oxygen tent). 

•  Do not place other equipment adjacent to the phone and device during use. 

•  Store out of reach of infants, small children, or anyone incapable of using the device properly. 

•  Do not use the device anywhere that usage of the iPhone 5/5s is not permitted. The Oto was 

not tested for immunity to electromagnetic disturbances and may not function correctly in an 
environment where electromagnetic disturbances generated by other equipment are present. 

•  Do not use the device in conjunction with water, or in a wet environment.
