Review on Diagnostix 5110N ADC Otoscope/Ophthalmoscope Diagnostic Set, Pocket Size, Xenon Lamp 2.5V Hard Case Black by Tim Thomason

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Otoscope works well; Ophthalmoscope difficult to use

I have been using this set for the past two years in medical school. Found the otoscope to be very good - I thought the images on this model were comparable to the ones with the Welch-Allyns on hospital walls.The ophthalmoscope, however, has not been been useful. Like many reviewers have mentioned, the ophthalmoscope light cannot be dimmed, making it hard for fundoscopy amateurs like me to quickly and reliably perform exams. With effort, I am able to view the structures needed but only after subjugating patients to blinding light for excessive time.

Pros
  • Affordable price point for exceptional value
Cons
  • The set may require additional training or certifications to use, which can be time-consuming and expensive
