Otoscan - 3D Ear Scanning: The Future is Now!

---

1.  Otoscan is a new system utilized for: Creating a digital scanned image of the ear Tool to optimize the clinic workflow Ordering custom in-the-ear products All of the above

2.  The Otoscan headset is used to: Stabilize the patient's head during scanning Provide a physical reference point for the scanner Provide comfort to the patient All of the above

3.  The ring laser is utilized to scan which parts of the ear? The canal, area behind the tragus and the curved portions of the outer ear The flat portions of the outer ear The canal only The helix area only

4.  The Otoscan system consists of which software components? A cloud-based ordering portal A session manager to create and manage patient scans An in-application training software program All of the above

5.  The line laser is utilized to scan which part of the ear? The canal, area behind the tragus and the curved portions of the outer ear The flat parts of the outer ear The canal only The helix area only

6.  The Otoscan scanning workflow is as follows: Pinna line scan, Set depth gauge, canal ring scan Pinna line scan, canal ring scan, set depth gauge, line scan Set depth gauge, canal ring scan, pinna line scan, concha ring scan Set depth gauge, pinna line scan, canal ring scan, concha ring scan

7.  When scanning with the ring laser it is important to remember that: The laser emits directly in front of the probe tip so the probe should be positioned directly in front of the area being scanned The laser emits in a ring-like fashion around the probe tip so the probe tip should be positioned parallel to the area being scanned The laser emits from below the probe so the area being scanned should be just below the probe tip None of the above

8.  The Otoscan system consists of which hardware components? Dedicated scanning laptop Handheld scanner with cradle Patient headset Practice ear and stand All of the above

9.  The Otoscan system, if utilized properly, can potentially accomplish which of the following? Reduce remake rate Decrease manufacturer call backs Reduce follow-up visits Increase patient satisfaction All of the above

10.  Which of the following liabilities is reduced by utilizing Otoscan versus traditional otoblock and silicone earmold impression? Accumulation of cerumen Silicone material blowing by the otoblock potentially causing damage to the patient's auditory system Bleeding due to ear canal abrasion Reduced liability for scanning holes in ships
