Disclaimer
Information provided by TytoCare is believed to be accurate and reliable. However, TytoCare
assumes no responsibility for the use of such information, nor for any infringements of patents or

Intended Use
The Tyto Exam Camera is an electronic camera that enables capturing and transmission of video
and still images of throat (w / w/o tongue depressor) and skin, whereby a clinician at one location
on an IP network can view images and videos of a patient on site or at a different location on the
IP network with the signal carried on an IP connection between the two locations.
Product Overview
The Tyto Exam Camera™ is a user-friendly, digital camera with built-in illumination, that records
high resolution videos and pictures, for imaging of the throat, skin or any other external body
area.
The Tyto Exam 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:
lBy an individual clinician/healthcare professional.
lBy a clinician/healthcare professional, who forwards exam data to another clinician/healthcare
professional for later diagnosis.

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.

2. Tap START to start recording video. Point
camera towards tonsils. The tonsils are loc-
ated at the back of the mouth, at the sides
of the uvula.
Please note:
lUse the “Desired Image” picture, shown in the Tyto App, to see what the tonsils look like.
lMake sure the tonsils are well lit and visible.
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 disposable 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.
Cleaning and disinfection instructions:
Make sure the tongue depressor holder is disinfected before each use, using wipes or cloth
moistened with 70% isopropyl Alcohol or with pads impregnated with 70% ethyl Alcohol.
Thoroughly wipe the tongue depressor holder and allow it for air dry for at least two minutes.
Discard the disposable tongue depressor tip after use.
The instructions provided above have been validated by Tyto Care Ltd. as being capable of
preparing the tongue depressor holder for reuse.
Don’t reuse the tongue depressor holder if signs of material degradation such as scratches are
noticed.

review the picture in the App, and verify that the image is clear and sharp.
Note: In case the skin area you wish to capture is not easily accessible, ask another person
to assist you in imaging this area.
Note: If you cannot obtain a sharp image, try moving the camera a small distance away
from the skin. If you still cannot get a sharp image, contact TytoCare Support.
