These medical devices are intended for auscultation.

Bow adjustment

Position the eartubes so that they are inclined at about 15° and the eartips are in line with the nose bridge, facing forward with respect to you (see illustration). In this way the eartubes will be aligned with the ear canal and you will obtain a clear, sharp sound. Holding the eartubes in front of you with one tube in each hand, open them, separating the tubes and inserting the eartips in your ears.

 

Adjustment of the bow tension

If you feel uncomfortable or performance is poor, adjust the tension of the eartubes. Press the binaural eartubes against each other gently to increase the tension, separate them to reduce it.

  • Attention: an excessive tension could weaken the bow.
  • For best performance, it is important to use eartips of a suitable size for your ears. This is particularly important if you’re using soft conformable eartips.

Replacement of the diaphragm

Although the diaphragm is solid and planned to last long, it could be necessary to replace it. In this case proceed as follows:

  • Remove the backing ring, paying attention not to damage it (for screw models, counter clockwise rotate the ring), then pull the diaphragm out.
  • it the new diaphragm and reposition the backing ring making sure that it is well fixed (for screw models clockwise rotate the ring).

Selection of frequency / cushion for double-head models only

Rotating the chestpiece by 180°, it is possible to change the listening mode by opening (or indexing) the side you wish to use, either the diaphragm or open bell: select the diaphragm to listen to high frequencies, or the open bell to listen to low frequencies. “If the diaphragm is open, the bell will be closed, blocking the sound coming from the bell and vice versa. To determine which of the two sides is active, position the eartips in your ears and exert slight pressure on the diaphragm or on the hole of the bell.
