MAINTENANCE & WARRANTY
Cleaning
Cleaning of stethoscope should be done between each patient use.
Cleaning the Chestpiece
Under normal conditions, it is unnecessary to remove the diaphragm for cleaning. The diaphragm can easily be cleaned by
using an alcohol wipe. If however, it is necessary to remove the diaphragm, carefully follow the instructions below:
•
Diaphragm Removal:
With power off and diaphragm side up, using a thumbnail, lift the underside portion of the
diaphragm out of its designated groove, and peel it off of the chestpiece. The groove that holds the diaphragm in
place can be cleaned by sliding the edge of an alcohol swab around the groove. All parts of the chestpiece can be
wiped down with alcohol. IMPORTANT: The stethoscope should not be immersed in any solution. Excess liquid used
in the cleaning process may result in moisture getting into the internal components.
•
Diaphragm Reassembly:
Once the diaphragm is completely dry, insert the diaphragm into the groove of the rim,
starting at one point, and run your fi nger around the diaphragm until it is seated back in the groove.
Cleaning Other Parts of the Stethoscope
Eartips, eartubes, plastic tubing and chestpiece can be wiped clean with alcohol. Eartips may be removed for a more
thorough cleaning.
NOTICE
: Do not immerse the stethoscope in any liquid or subject it to any sterilization process!
