General Warnings

A warning statement in this manual identifies a condition or practice that, if not corrected or discontinued immediately, could lead to patient injury, illness, or death.

• Do not tap hard or scratch the diaphragm of the chest piece while wearing the ear tips with the stethoscope powered on.
• Do not bend or apply excessive force to the stethoscope.
• Do not disassemble, repair, or modify the device. When repair is needed, contact the ADC Customer Service Dept. (see reverse side).
• Avoid any place of high humidity or wet conditions such as a bathroom. Pressing the power button while the stethoscope is wet could cause irreparable damage to the device.
• Do not immerse in water. This product is not water-resistant, avoid excessive moisture.
•  Sounds might be distorted if the battery level is low.

Adscope 658 Electronic Stethoscope Features

• Improves low-frequency sound transmission characteristics with the use of a piezopolymer film contact microphone
•  MPU controlled automatic power off
• Mode selection function (bell, diaphragm)
• 8-level digital volume control
• Holds last mode and volume setting

An acoustic microphone used in most electronic stethoscopes may have frequency characteristics not suitable for the body sounds, especially for the low- frequency heart sounds. Other stethoscopes provide the internal body sounds not directly from the body surface, but through the air layer between the body surface and the microphone. The 658 solves these problems with the use of a piezopolymer film contact microphone which is the heart of the 658. The 658 has wide-frequency characteristics and enables you to detect the heart and lung sounds more precisely.

Name and Function of Each Part

Operation of the Headset

The Adscope 658 electronic stethoscope is designed to provide comfortable ear fittings and the best sound transmission. The binaural (ear tubes) are angled at15° to permit a comfortable, acoustically sealed aural CORRECT fit. Eartips should point forward, towards the bridge of the nose, to fit properly.

Adjusting the Spring Tension in the Headset

Adjusting the Spring Tension in the HeadsetTo reduce the tension, grip the binaural firmly using both hands with fingers at the center of the “Y” in the tubing, thumbs at each side where the tubing branches out. Flex binaural sgradually until the desired tension is obtained. To increase the tension, grip the binaural in the hand and squeeze the binaural tube together gradually. Excessive adjustment of the spring tension could weaken the spring.

Power ON/OFF

Press the power button to turn the 658 on. The multifunction button will turn blue, and the LCD will show the selected mode and volume. The backlight will stay on for fifteen seconds. The unit will remain on for up to three minutes, but the display will remain dark to conserve power – A quick press of any button will awaken the unit. Press the Power button for two seconds (or more) then release to manually power down the unit. The 658 turns off auto-matically three minutes after the last button is pressed.

Volume Control

While auscultating, press the volume button ‘∧ ‘ to increase the sound level, and press the volume button ‘∨ ‘ to decrease the sound level. The volume is divided into eight levels.

Mode Selection

After the 658 powers on, pressing either the Bell or Diaphragm mode button will change the mode.

• Bell (Low Frequency 15-200Hz)
• Diaphragm (High Frequency 100-500Hz)

Bell mode provides excellent detection of low & medium-pitched heart sounds and murmurs.
Diaphragm mode is designed for the detection of pulmonary sounds and high-pitched murmurs, clicks, and ejection sounds.

Battery Charging

• When you see the low battery icon on the LCD display, you’ll need to charge the unit. To charge, make sure the unit is off, then open the USB cover and use the enclosed cable to connect the scope to a power source. A full charge takes about 70 minutes.
• When the unit is off and the battery is charging, the backlight display will be red. A blue backlight while charging simply means the unit is on, and does not reflect when charging is complete. To confirm that the unit is fully charged, remove the USB cable, power on, and check the battery icon.

NOTE:

• Fully charge before first use.
• The 658 scope cannot be used while it is being charged.

Replacing the Eartips

• To replace AdsoftTM Plus Eartips: Slide the eartip over adapter until it locks tight into internal channel. Repeat steps for second aural tube.
• Eartips may be removed from binaurals for a thorough cleaning. Periodically check that eartips are tightly secured to binaurals.

Caution : Always check security of ear tip before inserting in ears.

Replacing the Diaphragm

Your 658 chestpiece is equipped with an ultrasensitive piezoelectric sound transducer, covered by a silicone diaphragm.

To remove the silicone diaphragm

Gently pull off one side of the diaphragm from the rim, and continue aroundedge until the diaphram comes completely off (Figure 1).

To replace the silicone diaphragm:

Clip one edge of the new diaphragm on the chestpiece rim and gently stretch until entire diaphragm inserts fully in the track around the rim (Figure 2).

NOTE:

Do not touch the piezoelectric sound transducer located in the center of the chest piece under the diaphragm, as it is extremely sensitive and susceptible to damage (Figure 3).

Care and Maintenance

• • Avoid extreme heat, cold, solvents, or oils.
•  Do NOT leave exposed to direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time.
•  The headset can be wiped down with alcohol or mild soapy water.
•  Eartips may be removed from binaurals for a thorough cleaning.
•  Periodically check that eartips are tightly secured to binaurals.
•  Do NOT immerse stethoscope in any liquid or subject to steam sterilization.
• Chestpieces and diaphragms can be wiped down with 70% isopropyl alcohol for cleaning purposes.
