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.
