Taking the guesswork out of ear health
- The technology in the OtoSight Middle Ear Scope is 90.6% accurate when assessing MEE*. This is a significant increase over the 50% accuracy with standard otoscopy published in 2001**.

Otoscopy View
- True color video otoscopy view of the ear canal and eardrum allowing the patient to see what the clinician sees, in real time. This empowers the patient to better understand their ear condition and resulting treatment plan.

Middle Ear Scan
- The middle ear scan objectively helps to determine the presence or absence of fluid in the middle ear, characterize the type of fluid, visualize the fluid’s density, and can do all of this even in the presence of significant wax.

Familiar
- The OtoSight Middle Ear Scope handheld has the feel of a traditional otoscope, but its advanced light-based technology provides clinicians with the ability to see beyond the eardrum into the middle ear space.

Enhancing your clinical judgement:

With children:
Treating patients effectively isn’t just your job, it’s your motivation. But when it comes to children complaining of ear discomfort, the standard tool to address the issue is the otoscope – basically a flashlight and a magnifying glass. The result? A nationwide diagnosis accuracy rate of 50% with standard otoscopy.*

*Arch Pediatr Adolesc Med. 2001; 155(10):1137-1142.

With adults:
When adults come in with ear pain, they are preconditioned to believe that it’s likely an ear infection. However, oftentimes, it’s something else. Being able to objectively rule out ear infections in an efficient way can lead to a faster diagnosis of the true issue.

There’s now a better way
The FDA-cleared OtoSight Middle Ear Scope is an innovative approach to non-invasively visualize through the eardrum to directly assess middle ear fluid.
