The stethoscope is used to listen to the
heart, lungs, abdomen, and blood vessels.
The eartubes are set at an angle to better line up with the ear canals.
They are designed to angle forward when worn.
Two earpieces are supplied: Solid and soft. The soft-sealing eartips
are more comfortable and make it easier to hear. The solid earpieces are
more durable.
Higher pitched sounds (higher frequency) are best heard using the
diaphragm side of the stethoscope head (thin membrane side). Lower pitched
sounds are better heard with the bell (hollow side) of the stethoscope
head. To change from one side to the other, rotate the head 180 degrees.
This particular stethoscope is equipped with a tunable diaphragm.
Pressing the diaphragm gently against the chest allows higher-pitched
frequencies to be emphasized. Pressing harder dampens the higher
frequencies and favors the lower frequencies. With practice, you will
discover which method works best for you.
Clean the stethoscope by wiping it down with alcohol or mild soapy
water. Don't immerse the stethoscope in any liquid.
