Headset Adjustment
|
---|---
Your Littmann stethoscope is designed to provide a comfortable, acoustically
sealed ear fit. Notice that the eartubes are set to accommodate the typical
anatomy of the ear canal. The eartips should point in a forward direction as
you insert them into your ear canals. To reduce spring tension in the headset,
hold each eartube at the bend near the eartip and gradually pull apart until
fully extended. To increase spring tension, grasp the headset with one hand
where the eartubes enter the plastic tubing and squeeze until the plastic
tubing on one eartube touches the other.
Repeat as necessary.
For maximum acoustic performance, comfortable patented 3M™ Littmann® Snap
Tight Soft-Sealing Eartips are provided with your stethoscope.
This stethoscope utilizes a unique design for attaching the eartip to the
eartube. The eartips are pushed on to the end of the eartube and snapped
firmly into place. To remove, pull firmly on the eartip.
Removing the Diaphragm and Cleaning the Chestpiece
With the diaphragm side up, push the rim at one point with both thumbs and roll the rim off the edge of the chestpiece. Remove the diaphragm from the rim and clean parts in soapy water or wipe with alcohol. Wipe chestpiece surfaces with alcohol or soapy water. Dry all parts and surfaces thoroughly before reassembly.
Replacement of the Diaphragm
Place diaphragm on chestpiece surface. Totally engage diaphragm and chestpiece edge in groove of rim at one point, and hold in place with thumb. While maintaining rim engagement at one point, roll rim over the entire outer edge. Make sure diaphragm is completely contained in groove of the rim.
General Use and Maintenance
- Avoid extreme heat, cold, solvents, and oils.
- The entire stethoscope can be wiped clean with alcohol or soapy water.
- Eartips can be removed from the eartubes for thorough cleaning.
NOTE: Do not immerse your stethoscope in any liquid or subject it to
steam sterilization. If disinfection is required, the stethoscope may be wiped
with a 70% isopropyl alcohol solution.
