Shortening the Tube Length (Non Cardiology Models ONLY)

All ADSCOPES

(except #600 Platinum Cardiology,

#601 Convertible Cardiology and

#602 Cardiology models) are equipped

with 22” tubing for convenience.

If a shorter length is desired, remove

chestpiece from tubing. Cut tubing to

desired length with a sharp single edge

razor on a hard surface. Soften tubing

by immersing in hot water for approximately

one minute, and reinsert chestpiece stem in tubing.

CAUTION: Allow tubing to cool after immersing in hot water before handling.

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.

To replace the Snap-on (PVC) Rim: Snap off the rim

and remove the worn diaphragm. Replace with new

diaphragm and reattach rim by gently stretching rim until

the chestpiece edge inserts fully in the track within the rim.

To replace Threaded (Metal) Rim: Turn rim

counterclockwise to remove. Replace with new

diaphragm and reattach rim by turning clockwise

until tight to re-assemble.

Replacing Eartips

To replace Adsoft

TM

Plus Eartips: Slide Adsoft

TM

PLUS eartip over adapter

until it locks tight into internal channel. Repeat steps for second aural tube.

Care and Maintenance

• Avoid extreme heat, cold, solvents, or oils.

• Do NOT leave exposed to direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time.

• Binaurals and tubing can be wiped down with alcohol or mild soapy water.

• Eartips may be removed from binaurals for a thorough cleaning.

• Periodically check that eartips are tightly secured to binaurals.

cleaning purposes.
