The stethoscope is designed with patented ergonomic ear tubes and ear sinuses in line with the angle of the ear canal. It fits comfortably in the listener's ear canal without fatigue and discomfort. Berry shares with you the wearing methods and precautions of single and dual headed adult and children's stethoscopes.
Before putting the ear tube on, please pull the ear tube of the stethoscope outward; the metal ear tube should be tilted forward, and the ear tube should be inserted into your external ear canal, so that the ear sinus is tightly closed with your ear canal; the size of each person's ear canal All are different, you can choose the appropriate size of the ear sinus. If the wearing method is correct, but the tightness of the ear sinus and the ear canal is not good, and the auscultation effect is not good, please pull the ear tube outward to adjust its elasticity. Improper wearing method will result in poor auscultation effect when the ear sinus and the ear canal do not fit tightly. For example, when the ear tube is worn backwards, it will be completely inaudible.
Single and dual headed stethoscopes wearing precautions
1. How to wear the stethoscope. The working principle of the stethoscope is mainly to connect the acquisition part of the instrument to the patient, and the ear tube part is placed in the doctor's ear. Although the design of the ear tube conforms to the basic principles of human mechanics and fits the doctor's ear structure well, because everyone's ear structure is different, it needs to be fine-tuned when using it. After putting on the stethoscope, you can gently pull the ear tube downward so that the position of the ear tube is just in the external auditory canal. The entire metal tube should be kept tilted forward for the convenience of use, so as to reduce external interference and ensure the best effect.
2. Inspection before using the stethoscope, as an important medical mechanical equipment in clinical practice, the stethoscope needs to have a strict inspection process before use. The first thing is to remove the sundries on the machine, because the stethoscope may not be used for a long time. There are hair and paper scraps and other debris in the ear tube, which will directly affect the transmission of sound in the ear tube, so it is necessary to do regular cleaning and maintenance work. Another point is to check the airtightness of the stethoscope, because the sound information collected from the patient needs to have good airtightness as a guarantee, so as to better help the doctor to make judgments. When checking, mainly check the Y interface of the stethoscope. If there is any looseness, repair and adjust it in time.
3. To exclude external sound interference, the stethoscope has a certain similarity with the earphones usually used, so it will also face the earphone effect. The so-called earphone effect refers to the friction between its unit parts and the body and other external objects. Noise, which dries the listener's hearing. In the stethoscope, there will also be a lot of noise due to friction with the doctor's clothes. At this time, you can try to clamp the ear tube and the clothes together, which can help the doctor reduce the noise caused by friction and get the best hearing effect. .
4. Remove debris: If the stethoscope has been placed in the pocket or not maintained regularly, the lint, fiber or dust of the clothing may block the ear tube of the stethoscope. Regular maintenance and cleaning can prevent this from happening.
5. Check the tightness: The high-quality sound transmission effect of the stethoscope is related to the tightness between the stethoscope and the patient's body surface, and between the stethoscope and the ear canal of the listener. The looseness of the earpiece parts, the looseness of the Y tube, and the damage of the Y tube will affect the tightness. The better the fit, the more accurately the sound from the patient's body can be transmitted to the listener's ear. So always check the stethoscope status.
