The Medi-Scope was designed for home use to easily inspect eyes, ears, nose, and throat to provide better information to your doctor on family illnesses and progress after treatment. The Medi-Scope is designed to deliver extra bright, pre-focused high intensity light, which when used with the magnifying head piece and attachments, can expose problems in the mouth, eyes, ears, nose, or throat. Reporting this information to your doctor can result in prompt medical treatment.
The Medi-Scope is not intended to replace the work and expertise of your doctor, but rather to work with your doctor for better and quicker response to signs of problems.
Comments about Apothecary Eazy Care Medi-Scope, Magnifying Light, 1 kit:
This little gadget is very useful! It does like some reviewers state look a little "flimsy" but for the money it works very well. Have had it over 3 years now, and it has held up. I use it to check for wax build up, ear infections, and sore throats. Well worth it.

Comments about Apothecary Eazy Care Medi-Scope, Magnifying Light, 1 kit:
This little item isn't too bad. Yes, it's a glorified penlight, but when I need to look in my little ones ears to rule out an ear infection I'm glad I have it. It's easy to use and provides me with instant information; saving me a trip to the pediatrician. I like the tongue depressor part of it too. I can't explain to my 5 year old how to hold his tongue down when I want to look at his throat; now I don't have to.
Will it last forever? Probably not. Will it get you through those first few years when ear infections can run rampant? Yes! And if it can do that, it was worth it.

Comments about Apothecary Eazy Care Medi-Scope, Magnifying Light, 1 kit:
Product was never unwrapped. Upon receipt it was evident that this product would be most effective as a child's toy as opposed to purposeful utility.
Complete instructions are included on package insert.
It is recommended that you use the Medi-Scope to inspect the eyes, ears, nose and throat of family members while they are healthy, to familiarize yourself with the visual properties of healthy tissue. This will allow you to identify changes that may occur at a later date allowing you to communicate these changes to your doctor.
The magnifying head piece and individual attachments, except the penlight, should be washed before and after each use with warm, soapy water and then wiped off with rubbing alcohol. Allow to air dry. Do not immerse the pieces in boiling water or place in dishwasher. Do not allow moisture or water to get inside penlight. Care should be taken to avoid scratching the lens of the magnifying head piece.
Battery Replacement:
The Medi-Scope uses 2 AAA replaceable batteries. When the light in the penlight becomes dim, replace with 2 AAA batteries. Simply unscrew the penlight, dispose of the old batteries properly, and insert new batteries.
