Battery use and care: Use two AA alkaline batteries only. If the otoscope will not be used for an extended
period of time, remove the batteries. Dispose of used batteries in accordance with all applicable laws and
regulations.
Cleaning and sterilization: Dampen a clean cloth with a mild detergent and water solution, a solution
of 70% isopropyl alcohol and water solution, or a 10% bleach and water solution. Wring out the cloth to
remove excess uid. Use the cloth to wipe all external surfaces of the otoscope. Ensure that no uid enters
the otoscope. Clean the instrument glass with a cotton swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol. The reusable ear
specula may be sterilized in 134°C saturation steam for a dwell time of ten minutes.
