Using the chest piece
●
The stethoscope can be adjusted
from bell to the diaphragm or vice
versa as the chest piece can be tur-
ned 180° both directions. A clicking
sound can be heard as soon as the
chest piece is engaged correctly on
either the bell or the diaphragm.
●
Depending on the body part which
has to be auscultated either the
diaphragm or the bell has to be
used. The diaphragm is used for the
auscultation of high frequencies,
the bell is used for low frequencies.
●
Place the eartips into your ears and
gently sweep the diaphragm with
the finger tip to test whether it is
already active.
