Customer Reviews of PRO-Fiberoptic L.E.D. Otoscope with Zippered Leatherette Case
Customer Review: Absolutely love this otoscope, could not be happier with my purchase
Summary: 5 Stars
I really like everything about this otoscope. I have been using Welch Allyn products my entire career as a nurse practitioner. My old Welch Allyn was a nice otoscope but the bulb recently went out on it. By the time I paid for a new bulb and the shipping it was going to cost me over a third the price of this otoscope. The bad thing was that I just replaced the bulb less than a year ago. Also the rechargeable battery would only hold a charge for around one hours use before it began to dim. It was an old battery so I guess it was wearing out. I priced a new battery and between the battery and the bulb it was going to be more than this entire otoscope. I also priced a new Welch Allyn fiberoptic otoscope and it was 4 times the cost of this model and was only warranted for a year. This otoscope was warranted for life.
The light on this otoscope is brighter than any otoscope I have ever used. I also could visualize the tympanic membrane more clearly than I could with my old Welch Allyn otoscope. I have also used the otoscope for over 6 months now and have yet to replace the 2 alkaline C batteries I initially put in the otoscope after it arrived. The light is still just as bright as ever. I am not sure how long it will take to drain these batteries. I use the otoscope on a daily basis in my office practice. I thought about buying C cell rechargeable's to use with the otoscope but if it takes this long to drain a regular set of batteries I am not sure I need to mess with rechargeables.
The one problem I did have with the otoscope was that when I first received it my welch allyn specula would not fit snugly on the end of the otoscope. I contacted the company and they sent me out a new otoscope head that fixed the problem and a postage paid envelope to return the defective one.
Overall I do not think you will find a better value in a
professional type otoscope on the market than this one.
Description of PRO-Fiberoptic L.E.D. Otoscope with Zippered Leatherette Case
This is a Professional Model Fiber-Optic LED otoscope. It is a full size model with large 5x lens and an LED light source. It is of chrome plated brass construction and uses 2 C cell batteries for its power. Rechargeable C cells also work well in the otoscope. Standard size disposable specula work with the otoscope and attach over the nose cone just like Welch Allyn. The otoscope head attaches to the handle via a luer lock mount and can be removed so the handle can be used with an ophthalmoscope. The LED light uses a fiber-optic pathway to bring light into the ear canal. The light is very bright and illuminates the ear canal very well. The main advantage of an LED light is that it is impervious to shock and trauma unlike a halogen bulb which is incandescent and contains a fragile filament. Halogen bulbs for the high dollar otoscope companies can now run up to $35-$40. COMMENTS FROM DOC JIM: For your money spent you will not find a better value in a professional model otoscope. You will see the eardrum just as clearly with this otoscope as you will with an expensive Welch Allyn or Heine model. The 2 nice advantages you also have is that batteries will last and last since LED uses so little power. Also the LED light source is guaranteed for life to never go out. If it does a replacement LED module will be sent out to you free of charge. Not having to replace incandescent bulbs will add up to a substantial savings over the life of an otoscope. You can also purchase 2 sets of rechargeable batteries and never be without an otoscope like you could be with a W/A if you have to plug the handle into a wall to let it charge. Try it risk free with free super saver shipping on Amazon. If you don't agree that this is a great value then Amazon will provide you a mailing label to ship it back.Health Monitors
