Introduction
The Welch Allyn CompacVideo Otoscope System is a portable, battery
operated video camera to be used for obtaining high quality video
images of the ear canal and tympanic membrane for the ear care
professional. The CompacVideo Otoscope System consists of a video
head (A) and an RCA Video Cable (B). A 3.5 volt Welch Allyn battery
powered handle and a video monitor are necessary for the on screen
display of video images.
The CompacVideo Otoscope System is designed for “Plug and Play”
operation, meaning that all adjustments including focus, illumination
and white balance are pre-set at the factory.
Video imaging offers several advantages over direct visualization. A
higher level of magnification allows more detailed viewing of small
structures. The otoscope can also be used to visualize small crevases in
hearing aids, in order to address compliance issues related to hearing
aids. Finally, by using the CompacVideo Otoscope System, ear care
professionals can educate their patients using the product as a
communication vehicle.
