MedRx Video Otoscope
Using the Video
Otoscope
CAUTION: The MedRx Video Otoscope is only to be used by
a person qualified in the use of an Otoscope. Misuse can
cause a patient pain and possible injury.
Video otoscopy has multiple purposes in hearing assessment and hearing instrument fitting.
The Video Otoscope is used for:
• Performing the initial otoscopic examination prior to testing.
• Capturing and storing images to the NOAH™ patient database.
• Troubleshooting problems with the hearing aid, such as blocked
receivers and microphones.
• Probe microphone placement for Live Speech Mapping
measurements.
Always perform an otoscopic examination of the ear canal prior to testing
to determine if earwax or other foreign matter will interfere with probe
tube insertion. If this is a problem, the patient should be referred to an
appropriate resource for removal of the wax or debris. If abnormal ear
conditions are noticed on this examination, an appropriate medical referral
is recommended before evaluating hearing or fitting hearing instruments.
The speculum is always to be used with the system.
The speculum must be cleaned or replaced between usage per
accepted medical practice procedures.
Prior to insertion, the probe should be held within 1/4" of a
known object, such as your finger, to check the quality of the
image. Sometimes the lens is smeared with cerumen or other
matter and will need to be vigorously cleaned with an alcohol wipe
in order to provide a clear image.
IMPORTANT: Since the Video Otoscope incorporates glass
lenses for image transmission it is breakable. Although the
tip is tapered to improve durability, any impact or crushing to the
tip may cause serious damage to the instrument.

the Otoscope probe, or a common disinfectant.
