Proper Stethoscope Use And Fit - Veridian Healthcare 01-5521 Instruction Manual

PROPER STETHOSCOPE USE AND FIT

The earpieces on your Two-Party Home Blood Pressure Kit stethoscope have been carefully
calibrated to provide clear and audible acoustics. To best hear the sounds to be analyzed,
please keep the following tips in mind:
The earpieces should point forward when in use, Fig1.
The earpieces should fit in ears securely but comfortably.
The binaurals may be adjusted to ensure maximum
comfort and efficacy. To increase the tension, simply
squeeze the binaurals just above the joint where they
meet, crossing the earpieces, Fig 2. Do not apply too
much pressure; apply a minimum of force, slightly
increasing the pressure until the earpieces fit
comfortably.
Should the earpieces be too tight, pull the binaurals
apart, grasping them just above the joint where they
meet, Fig. 3. Be gentle so as not to damage the
stethoscope.
Always use caution when adjusting the binaurals to
avoid damage. When bringing the earpieces closer
together, the maximum tension used should bring the
black tubing on either side within contact. When pulling
the binaurals apart, do not exceed 90 degrees between
the binaurals.
