Usage Guidelines
Before use, confirm compatibility with the specific otoscope model. Attach a new speculum securely to the otoscope head according to the manufacturers instructions. Ensure the speculum is firmly seated to prevent detachment during examination.
After completing the examination, remove and discard the speculum in accordance with facility waste disposal policies and local healthcare regulations. Do not attempt to clean, disinfect, or reuse the speculum, as it is designed for single-use application only.
