I bought the otoscope and it does use disposable specula. In fact several are included in the order.

Yes it does. It comes with some disposable ones but if you need more you can get a 45-count bag for under 6 dollars.

Not that I remember if it has disposable filters. Its been awhile since Ive used it & can't remember where it is since I bought it for my son & he is now 2 but from what I remember I think it has a removable one that you can clean off. & it is battery powered. Hope this helps.

I don't think they make a battery of that model that is disposable.I bought two of the batteries for the camera and a charger and just change them back and forth

They are designed to be disposable after a few uses. I have extended their life by tapping out the dust in a waste can and then rinsing thoroughly. I have even run them through the dish washer which does not seem to harm them. Otherwise, replacing them as needed can be an expensive add-on.

Yes, it takes a standard #4 paper filter. I think you can buy a reusable gold filter too.

Yes, all disposable cloths (wet and dry) work with this machine, except swiffer wet jet pads. This machine is awesome! Quiet and you are going to be shocked how well it works!

No, but if you're using this one, you probably wouldn't want to because it's not really a home model to begin with. Some of the third-party reusables might work too, but you'd have to fish them out of the trash bin after every use.

It has one they recommend include and it does need replacing. The down side I found was how often you have to soak the unit in vinegar to get rid I the minerals in the water. You can also soak the filter to prolong life but sooner than you would want , it falls apart. This machine performs really well, but, with refilling the tank and cleaning, it's a lot of maintainence. However, it think they all are.

Yes, this came with about three replacement plastic ends (disposable specula) and I also purchased a package of disposable speculas separately.

Not this model. The more expensive model has that feature. For this one you either buy a roll of theplastic and cut it to size or buy the precut bags. Hope this helps.

I ordered Dr. Mom Specula in various sizes, but they did not fit very well. The otoscope comes with reusable specula which fit the best, but are labor intensive since you have to clean/sterilize after each use. The generic specula do fit over the reusable specula and do not impair visability. You can find various specula through Amazon.

No, but they have a model that looks like this one that does. Of course, it cost more. I love the quality of the unit.-Dave

We haven't bought any additional speculas. It comes with about a dozen, 6 each of 2 sizes. Openings of approx. 1/8" & 3/16" dia. to see into the ear canal. We have 7 year-old twins and it worked as expected. Other than that, your questions may be better suited for a doctor. Good luck.

It has a reusuable screen filter but, in order to eliminate residue and rinsing, I use a slightly trimmed #2 cone paper filter instead. My screen filter stays in storage in case I run out of paper ones.

Yes, The leads (Tens wires) and electrodes are considered disposable and will need to be replaced periodically. They may be purchased separately. Initially this unit does contain everything needed to get started. Hope this helps!

I'm not familiar with that term. The unit only came with the filter cartridge which works so-so. It still creates as much of the white mineral dust as other units without the filter. I think the "filter" is just a ploy to charge a lot of money for a small plastic cylinder that doesn't make much of a difference. Otherwise, the machine works fine.

Yes, I think so. The base, where you put specula, has standard size and you can buy any additional to use. There are some small specula in the set.
