Zyrev Otoscope Oph Diagnostic Set – 34 Piece Medical and Nursing Student Otoscope/Opthalmoscope Kit – with Plastic Case for Educational and Professional Settings (Advanced)

Awesome product
I needed to use this product for school and I was dreading paying the price thay these typically run. I was so glad to find this product and all of the gadgets that it came with. It was an incredible value for the otoscope along with the extra tools that were provided and they will be a great help in my class. I especially loved the fact that it came with the extra tips, Snelling chart, and all of the tools were easy to change out.

Good scope, slight flaw
This otoscope/ophthalmoscope is definitely worth the money. I’ve used it in multiple classes while in chiropractic school and it works well. The light is very bright, which is great for examining the ears, nose, and mouth. The only issue I have with this scope is that the LED light does not dim. It’s bright enough to cause the patient’s pupil to contract all the way and makes the eye exam difficult.

Great for Graduate School!!!
The otoscope and all of the supplies are very sturdy, look very professional, and were easy to put together and worked well when examining patients, as practice for becoming a Family Nurse Practitioner. I highly recommend this product! 😊

Good for school not for clinic.
First, I decided to write a review on this after needing to use this in a scenario where an accurate instrument would have been needed. My son had a pretty bad fever so I wanted to see if he was had an ear infection. I’m not sure if my light has gone bad or if my batteries are bad, but the light was so weak I couldn’t see down the entire ear canal to see his tympanic membrane.I wish I had pictures to compare what this light looks like compared to the Welch Allyn ones I use at clinic. It’s a habit I’ve gotten into that before I use an otoscope I shine it on my hand first and adjust the light level if needed (maybe it’s just me). It was pretty apparent once first turning this one after using the higher quality Welch Allyn otoscopes at clinic that shining this on my hand was very different compared to that.Also, I hadn’t used this for months and after using this only occasionally beforehand the batteries were dead once I got it out to use this. I had to replace the batteries to start with.In my opinion this is great if it’s purely to practice or starting off. Maybe good for occasional use. I wouldn’t say this is good for clinic use or use for patients if the purpose is from a provider stand point.This piece of equipment was required for my physician assistant program materials, and I decided to go cheap instead of getting something nice that was going to cost $300 – $600. This did the trick during school, but I will say my school had simulated patient rooms with Welch Allyn wall otoscopes and ophthalmoscopes. I used that most of the time. There is an obvious difference between the two, a pretty big difference I would say actually. Now in the clinical setting all of them I’ve been to so far have this same setup so I’ve never had to use this initial kit I bought to practice with. If I came across a time where a clinic didn’t have them provided or I was doing home visits, I think I would have to get something nicer. At least for me to feel comfortable with them being reliable, accurate, providing the best exam findings/patient care.Pros and Cons:Pros– It’s inexpensive, so if that’s what you need, great.- Tons of people in my class have the same thing too, so it should be fine with school unless they’re specific about getting a nice one.- It does come with a lot of attachments and different things, so it’s great practice.- if you get good at using this one first, afterwards using Welch Allyn or other high quality ones, you’ll be a pro! I say that because the other high quality ones are sooo much easier to see exam findings with. I practiced with these and then used some high quality ones, it’s a pretty big difference.- It’s very portable and even comes with a case to store everything.- The kit has a pretty good start with equipment and covers.Cons:- There’s not really a light dimming quality, it’s either off or on (not super important but other ones do have this).- the light is very dim compared to others (meaning ones that cost 5x – 10x more though, so cost is a thing)- it doesn’t magnify exam findings very well.- the dials on the ophthalmoscope adjusting dials might just be for show, I don’t think they really make a difference.- some parts are pretty cheaply made, thin plastic and thin metal.- batteries might not last if stored with batteries in them (my mistake).
