FEATURES
The otoscope PARKER is medical equipment suitable to directly examine the external acoustic duct and the tympanic membrane. The
otoscope is available in two different models.

blue (cod. 31436) and yellow (cod. 31437).
Both models are equipped with a 2,5 V bulb and are supplied by two 1,5 V alkaline batteries type “C”.
The otoscopes PARKER are provided with a rheostat to adjust the intensity of light, a removable glass allowing a 3X magnication and
an output for air insufation to check the mobility of the tympanic membrane.
The otoscopes PARKER are delivered in an imitation leather case and are equipped with three autoclavable specula Ø 2,5 - 3,5 - 4,5
mm.
The product or its components cannot be used for purposes different from the one specied in the present manual.

The operation necessary to remove and replace the speculum is very simple:
- Turn the speculum counter clockwise and draw it out of its seat.
- To re-attach the speculum, insert it into the head by matching the grooves with the small pivot and turn clockwise.
OPERATION
First of all it is necessary to choose the size and the type of speculum suitable to the acoustic duct to examine.
Besides the ones provided as standard, on request it is possible to deliver disposable specula with different sizes and colours (cod.
31491 - 31492 - 31495), which can be assembled on the head by means of an adapter (cod. 31493). An adapter can be also supplied
to install a disposable alligator speculum (cod. 31494) (see picture), suitable to examine children.
The examiner shall turn on the light by means of the black knurled ring nut located on the handle upper side. Both PARKER models
are equipped with a rheostat. Thus pressing the white pushbutton and slowly clockwise rotating the ring nut it is possible to increase
the intensity of light. Counter-clockwise rotate the ring nut to turn down the light until it is off.
After the use, make sure that the light is off.
MAINTENANCE
Periodically check the battery conditions, making sure that no sign of corrosion or oxidation is present, in case of necessity
replace them with new alkaline ones. Carefully handle the batteries as the liquids they contain can irritate skin and eyes.
Before being used, thoroughly check the product. The same operation shall be carried out after cleaning.
- Check that the connection between the head and the handle is perfect and that the rheostat correctly works.
- If the light is intermittent or in case it does not turn on, check the bulb, the batteries and the electric contacts.
In case the bulb stops working, it is possible to replace it with original spare parts (cod. 31449).
To replace the bulb, it is necessary to take the speculum out, counter-clockwise turn the bulb and screw the new one down (see
picture). It is advisable to use only original bulbs.
Before removing the bulb, make sure that the instrument has been off for some minutes; otherwise you run the risk of being
burnt.
- Check that the glass is clean; on the contrary it shall be removed. To do this counter-clockwise rotate it and at the same time pull it
towards you.
After cleaning, reintroduce the glass into its seat making the groove match with the small pivot and clockwise rotating it (see picture).
- It is advisable to always have new bulbs and batteries at disposal for the maximum light.
- The otoscope head and handle can be cleaned with a cloth soaked with disinfectant, however they cannot be dipped into liquids.
- The speculum can be sterilized in boiling water or in autoclave, in this case the temperature shall not be over 121×; alternatively cold
disinfectants can be used with the same concentration used to sterilize medical instruments.
The product has been conceived to last forever; it is resistant to most part of chemicals except for methyl ethyl ketones (M.E.K.),
diluents and nail polish removers. All internal parts are brass and chrome plated preventing rusting. If the lamp is exposed to humidity
remove the batteries, thoroughly dry to avoid short-circuits.
