Firefly DE550 Wireless Digital Video Otoscope/Earscope

In our hearing care practice we typically use very expensive fiber optic video otoscopes. We have tried several wireless variants but they always seem to have major drawbacks, such as low resolution, cheap construction, or complicated setup and wireless transmission apparatus. They typcially 3-5X what this firefly cost us. I was quite skeptical about how well this device would work, but I am quite impressed. The resolution on screen is great. The setup could not have been any simpler, and the windows drivers were very standardized which made it fully compatible with our patient management and database software. Gone are the days of analog to digital video capture cables and big bulky powered lighting. My only criticism is very minor, and that is that I wish it could use my normal specula. The ones that are included are not standardized or even compatible with other major brands of medical grade otoscopes. Like I said, very minor issue.

good product! easy setup and use. The picture is good. I recommend to my colleagues, both for teaching, patient registration as well as to show to patients.

I bought this for a friend who does hearing testing. He says he is very pleased with it and is high quality.

He comprado un otoscopio y no funciona con mi i Mac uno funcióna y no me contestan ni me ayudan por el correo

I bought this as a new condition made in US , but install disck has much scratched, The dial decal isn't correct position.I could install from this disk. Performance is not bad. If you buy this item, I recommend to make up your mind you may get secondhand and defective product.

A colleague recommended that I get one, so I purchased it. Works great!! Battery lasts all day and the image is really clear.

It's a neat concept but I couldn't get it to focus easily. And, because it takes a lot of time to focus it, it did not work at all for my squirmy 6 month old. Baby just wouldn't sit still long enough. Maybe it would work ok for adults but not for kids!

One of the coolest features about this microscope is how easy it is to take photos with it. Several years ago I had a dentist leave a broken drill bit in my tooth. I later had the tooth pulled and kept it.When we got the microscope, I used it to get a really good look at the tooth. It still makes me mad that the dentist did this to me without telling me. I took several photos and posted them on my blog with the full story of what happened. You can see the photos I took with this microscope here:[...]
