Applications:
The Gimalux Otoscope should only be used to examine the external ear and for general no-invasive
examination.
Unlike the conventional models, this otoscope makes use of a halogen lamp and optic fibres to convoy
the light beam. The otoscopes Gimalux are delivered in an imitation leather case and are equipped with
a disposable speculum.
Precaution:
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. The product or its components cannot be used for purposes
different from the one specified in the present manual. Do not use the equipment in case it is damaged.
Apply to your retailer. Avoid precarious repairs. Repairs shall be carried out with original spare parts only,
which shall be installed according to the intended use.
