EAR Examination Simulator II

Why Choose the Kyoto Kagaku EAR Examination Simulator II (MW12) for Your Clinical Skills Lab in India?

The EAR Examination Simulator II (Item No. MW12) is a 4 kg patient-safety-focused otoscopy training simulator from Kyoto Kagaku, Japan — and the only ear examination simulator in this catalogue equipped with an active alarm system that triggers when the otoscope is inserted too far. For medical schools, nursing colleges, ENT residency programmes, and clinical skills labs in India that need to train not just diagnostic technique but safe, patient-centred otoscopy — including correct depth of insertion, auricle traction, and instrument approach on both normal and stenotic ear canals — the MW12 is the most clinically appropriate choice in the range.

The alarm system operates in two modes: a self-learning mode that alerts the trainee with an audible beep on excessive insertion, and a silent instructor mode that logs unsafe insertions without alerting the student — enabling objective competency assessment. The anatomically accurate soft resin ear model (latex-free) replicates the correct technique for straightening the auditory canal by pulling the auricle, exactly as required in real clinical practice. Two ear canal sizes — normal and stenotic — are included, preparing trainees for the full range of patients they will encounter. Nine clinical cases (including one normal) are preloaded, with quick case-switching between sessions. The manikin neck tilts to replicate correct patient positioning. A foreign body removal kit is included for ear wax and foreign body removal training using a real otoscope.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What makes the EAR Examination Simulator II different from other ear trainers in the range?
A: The MW12 is the only ear examination simulator in this catalogue with an active patient safety alarm — it alerts the trainee (or silently logs for the instructor) when the otoscope is inserted too deeply, directly training safe instrument handling alongside diagnostic skills.

Q: Can the alarm be turned off for assessment purposes?
A: Yes. The instructor mode operates silently, so the trainee receives no feedback from the alarm during a formal assessment — allowing the instructor to observe unsafe insertions without prompting the student.

Q: Does this simulator work with a real otoscope?
A: Yes. Training is conducted with a standard direct otoscope — no proprietary instrument is required.

Q: What ear canal sizes are included?
A: Two sizes — normal and stenotic — preparing trainees for the range of canal presentations they will encounter in clinical practice.

Q: Are replacement ear units available?
A: Yes. Replacement ear unit and foreign body sets are available in both light skin tone (11391-010) and dark skin tone (11391-010-D).

Q: Is the material latex-free?
A: Yes. The simulator is made from soft resin and is fully latex-free.

Q: What is the size of the simulator?
A: Approximately W42 × D21 × H39 cm (W16.5 × D8.3 × H15.3 in).
