The Stethoscope
The last component necessary for taking your blood pressure is the stethoscope. The
stethoscope is shipped in three parts: the chest piece is connected to the cuff; the metal
ear tubes and Y tubing are folded separately in the package. When you first use your
unit, you will have to connect these three components.
Assemble The Stethoscope
First, press the bottom of the Y tubing onto the barbed stem of the chest piece which
passes through the cuff (Figure 1). Next, insert the two metal ear tubes into the Y
section of the rubber tubing (Figure 2).
You will notice that the ear tubes can be turned. When using the stethoscope, it is best
to turn the ear tubes so that the ear tips are facing slightly forward. This will assure a
more comfortable fit, better hearing, and less outside noise.
