2.2. Connect Otoscope Tip and Disposable Speculum
Before you start using the device, it is important to connect the otoscope tip correctly. Connect the
otoscope to the Tyto device using the blue dot guiding marks:
Tyto Device
Otoscope Tip
Otoscope Tip and Tyto Device connected
After connecting the otoscope tip, place a disposable speculum on the tip and lock it in
place by rotating it.
Note:
Choose the correct size of disposable specula: for adults use the shorter specula with wider
opening (4.0mm), which enables a wider Field of View; for small children use the longer specula
with the narrower opening (3.0mm).
Note:
Do not use an otoscope disposable speculum that has cracks or contains sharp objects.
Note:
Discard the disposable speculum after use.
Note:
In case you feel pain or discomfort during the ears exam, stop the exam, retract the
otoscope and update the clinician if you’re using it during an online visit
.
