The shoulder strap

The shoulder strap is a flexible strap designed to fit across
the shoulder of the patient. It ensures that the diagnostic
probe stays in place during testing so that measurements
will not be influenced by background noise.

A.

Shoulder strap

B.

Hole for hanging shoulder strap

C.

Diagnostic probe

D.

Control pad

E.

Contralateral phone

F.

Probe cable connections

Probe cable connections

A.

The diagnostic probe connection

The diagnostic probe is permanently connected to
the control pad.

B.

Connection cable

The connection cable connects the diagnostic probe
to Zodiac.

C.

Connection socket for the contralateral phone

When needed, connect the contralateral phone to
this socket.
