Replacing the Diaphragm

Select ADSCOPES are equipped with up to two ultrasensitive, yet
®
extremely durable diaphragms. It is unlikely that they will ever
need replacement.

move the worn diaphragm. Replace with new diaphragm and reat-
tach rim by gently stretching rim until the chestpiece edge inserts
fully in the track within the rim.
