Assembly/Disassembly of Lighted Ear Curette

1. To assemble the lighted ear curette, insert the end of the curette into the light source by aligning the pegs on the curette end with the grooves inside the light source. Push down and twist FIRMLY clockwise until rotation stops. This will lock the curette into place and activate the light.
2. To attach the magnification lens, snap the lens onto the neck of the light source so that the top of the lens angles towards the ear curette tip
3. To disassemble, push down on the curette and rotate counter clockwise to remove the curette from the light source. The light will go off when the curette is removed.

Warnings

• Discontinue curettage immediately if bleeding, irritation, or other trauma to the ear canal or tympanic membrane occurs
• This product is a spring-loaded device; improper assembly may cause ejection of the ear curette
• DO NOT hold device by light source as accidental ejection of curette may occur if not assembled properly
• Cross-contamination risk. Do not reuse disposable curette tips as this may spread contamination from one patient to another patient.
