Intended use
The Tyto Otoscope is an electronic otoscope that enables capturing and transmission of video and still
images of the external ear canal and tympanic membrane, whereby a clinician at one location on an IP
network can view images and videos of a patient on site or at a different location on the IP network
with the signal carried on an IP connection between the two locations.
1.2. Product Overview
The Tyto Otoscope
™
is a user-friendly, electronic otoscope that digitally records video imaging of the
ear canal and eardrum.
The otoscope tip connects to your Tyto
Device to facilitate the process of communicating data and
video with other clinicians or healthcare professionals. Recorded data may be forwarded for diagnosis
by another clinician in a different location.
The Tyto otoscope is designed for use in a clinical or home environment. It can be used in a number of
scenarios:
•
By an adult at home, to perform an examination on themselves or others, with the results
submitted for subsequent review by a clinician
•
By an adult at home, to initiate a live virtual visit with a clinician and enable examination during the
video conference
•
By a clinician/healthcare professional from a remote location, via live video conference
•
By a clinician/healthcare professional, with the patient physically present in the clinic.

2.1. Cleaning Instructions
Clean the device before use. The cleaning should be done using 70% isopropyl alcohol wipes or
cloth/swabs (e.g. q-tips) dipped in 70% alcohol. Clean the outer surface by swabbing or wiping the
surface with the alcohol wipes. Use the q-tip swab, dipped in 70% alcohol, on narrow and less accessible
surfaces, such as the otoscope lens, located at the front of the otoscope.
Note
: Do not use any other cleaning materials or chemicals to use the otoscope.
Do not use a brush to clean the otoscope’s lens, as it might scratch it.
