resolution videos and pictures, for imaging of the throat, skin or any other external body area.
The Tyto Camera connects to the Tyto App to facilitate the process of communicating data and video with
other clinicians or medical professionals. Recorded data may be forwarded for diagnosis by another
clinician in a different location.
The Tyto Exam Camera is designed for use in a clinical or home environment, in a number of scenarios:

professional for later diagnosis
•By a clinician/healthcare professional, collaborating online with another clinician during or after
examinations.

Before the exam
2.1.
User Role: Performing Guided and Unguided Exams
Two methods can be used for examinations conducted with the TytoProTM system.
Guided exams are intended for any person who is not a healthcare professional, and who requires a more
detailed, step-by-step approach to the exam. Guided exams lead the user through the process of
performing and viewing exams.
Unguided exams are intended for healthcare professionals, who have medical knowledge, and are
proficient in performing throat and skin examinations. Unguided exams provide a streamlined approach
allowing more flexible recording and faster operation, with minimal instructions for use.
The type of user role, Guided or Unguided, is defined by the System Administrator when your user was
created.
Contact the System Administrator of your TytoCare system to determine whether your user is defined as
Guided or Unguided, or in case you wish to change your user role.

3.2.2.
Using the Tongue Depressor
If you cannot get a clear view of the tonsils, probably due to the tongue obstructing the view, use the
provided tongue depressor tip to lower the tongue. The adult’s tongue depressor blade is marked with
“L8”. For small children, who have a smaller mouth, use the shorter tongue depressor blade, marked with
“L6” on the blade.
Warning: Make sure the tongue depressor holder and blade are disinfected before each use, using
wipes or cloth moistened with 70% Isopropyl alcohol.
Warning: If the tongue depressor disconnects from the tongue depressor holder, for example by
the patient biting the tongue –gently pull the tongue depressor out of mouth, or wait until the
patient releases the tongue depressor.
Warning: Do not use a tongue depressor blade that is cracked or has sharp corners.
How to connect the tongue depressor:
1. Attach the holder connector part to the device socket, following the blue dots.
2. Insert the tongue depressor blade into the holder until you hear a locking click.
3. To detach the blade from the holder, press the locking latch at the bottom of the tongue depressor.
