An innovative otoscope with two light colours. Changing the light colour has been used in an otoscope for the first time in history.

An innovative otoscope with two light colours. Changing the light colour has been used in an otoscope for the first time in history.
Adjustable colour temperature is standard in most medical surgical and procedure lights. Its advantage is that the physician can view capillaries and signs of inflammation almost at the same time, with one instrument. Another completely new solution is eliminating the optical fibre, so no light is lost on its way to the optical head. The LEDs sit just below the cone that holds the ear specula. The product is protected by utility patent DE2013104278U1.
This model has been sold since the end of 2019 and is made in Germany.
The colour change feature is completely new. It needs to be shown and explained, because despite active promotion many physicians are still unaware of this very important aid to examination.
The product's position grows as users become aware of it. I have not met a physician who would ignore such a great convenience as changing the light colour during an otoscopic examination. I will add physicians' opinions to this justification in the coming days.
Market background: compared with European competitors, Luxamed otoscopes are among the cheapest.


Comparison with other products: there is no other otoscope on the market with adjustable colour temperature. The Auris CCT otoscope from LUXAMED GmbH & Co. KG is an absolute pioneer (as of 20 March 2022).

Warm white light: comparable to conventional incandescent bulbs, for optimal lighting during otoscopic examination. The spectral composition of the light is similar to incandescent bulbs.
Cool white light: a view focused more on details and contrasts, especially in the red part of the spectrum. Its spectral composition gives a more detailed view of vessels and areas with strong blood flow: because of increased light absorption these areas practically "glow", which makes diagnosis easier.
The otoscope's light comes from LEDs on the outer part of the optical head, just below where the speculum is fitted, so no light is lost on the way to where it is needed and the field of view is not restricted.

Automatic switch-off after 3 minutes. LED life: approx. 100,000 hours.
