Cleaning, Disinfection and Storage
Clean your stethoscope between exams using a 70% isopropyl alcohol wipe or a
disposable wipe with soap and water. A 2% bleach solution may be used to

discoloration after exposure to bleach. The tunable diaphragms, nonchill bell
sleeve and eartips may be removed for thorough cleaning
To remove the eartips from the headset, pull firmly. To assemble the eartips,
push the small side of the eartip firmly onto the eartube until it snaps fully
into place. Ensure all parts and surfaces are dry before reassembly. Be sure
the eartips are firmly attached to the headset before inserting them into your
ears
