Check out the video tutorial.

Temperature examination

• Attach the thermometer module:
  
• Place the thermometer on the center of the forehead just above the eyebrow line.
• Slide it slowly, without pulling the module away from the skin, across the temple to the tip of the right or left ear.
• Make sure you cover the temporal artery with the measurement.

Throat examination

• Attach the module with the appropriate size spatula (L for adults or S for children):
  
• Slightly tilt the patient's head.
• Insert Higo® with the spatula up to 3/4 of the length of the tongue.
• Firmly press the tongue with the entire surface of the spatula.
• Catch in the picture the back of the throat, uvula, tonsils and palatal arches.

Ear examination

• Attach the otoscope module and disposable speculum (4.0 mm for adults or 2.5 mm for children up to 3 year old):
  
• Remember, hold the otoscope HORIZONTALLY in the right hand (right at the right ear and left at the left ear). Before performing the examination, clean the ear of excess earwax.
• Grasp the upper part of the auricle with your fingers and pull up and back quite firmly (this does not hurt and straightens the ear canal).
• Insert the otoscope and gently move it in different directions until you find the eardrum.
