ADC Adscope Sprague Manuals

Use, Care, & Maintenance Adscope ® Sprague Thank you for choosing an ADC® Adscope® Stethoscope. Your new stethoscope is designed to provide unsurpassed acoustic sensitivity, unrivalled durability, and unparalleled comfort. Every component has been carefully designed to maximize performance. Device Description and Intended Use This device is intended for medical diagnostic purposes only. It can be used for lis- tening to heart, lung and other body sounds as well as for normal auscultation. The device is not designed, sold, or intended for use except as indicated. Symbol Definitions The following symbols are associated with your stethoscope. General Warnings A warning statement in this manual identifies a condition or practice which, if not corrected or discontinued immediately, could lead to patient injury, ill- ness, or death. CAUTION: Never use stethoscope without eartips firmly locked in place. NOTE: When first unpacked, your Sprague tubing may experience some kinks from packaging. This is normal. To uncurl, hang scope for 24 hours at room temperature. Chestpiece Options The ADC Sprague design utilizes five different interchangeable chestpiece attachments (three bells and two diaphragms) to detect a broad frequency range in both pediatric and adult patients. The chestpiece drum accommodates two different chestpiece attachments of your choice at one time. Select the type that best suits the intended patient application. Chestpiece attachments can be affixed by threading clock- wise until tight. To remove, twist in a counterclockwise direction. (Fig. 1) Selection of the Chestpiece On ADC Adscope Spragues, the entire chestpiece rotates 180° permitting the selection of one side. (Only one side is operable at a time.) ADC’s patented valve mechanism eliminates virtually all acoustic leakage from the inoperable side. To select the side in operation, hold the chestpiece stem in one hand and rotate the chestpiece with the other hand until a click is felt and heard. A light tap on the diaphragm or bell will help determine which side is in operation as well. Chestpiece Key ADC’s proprietary chestpiece design and slotted key allows you to tighten the pe- diatric or adult assembly as securely as you like (to reduce risk of loss) without fear of being unable to disassemble the rim in order to replace a worn or broken diaphragm (a problem that often plagues less costly Sprague scopes). Replacing the Diaphragm To replace a diaphragm, remove the desired assembly by gripping the assembly firmly and turning counterclockwise. Adult diaphragm assembly - for filtering out lower frequencies and accenting the higher ranges in adults. Pediatric diaphragm assembly - for detecting high pitched murmurs in infants and children. 1 1/4" bell - for detecting low and medium pitched sounds and murmurs in adults. 1" bell - for detecting low and medium pitched sounds and murmurs in children. 3/4" bell - for detecting low and medium pitched sounds and murmurs in infants.
