Usage
Ensure the stethoscope is clean and dry before changing eartips.
Firmly pull the existing eartips straight off the metal binaurals, taking care not to bend or damage the tubing or metalwork.
Align the open end of the new hard eartip with the metal post on the binaural and push firmly until it is fully seated and secure.
Gently twist and pull to confirm that the eartip is securely attached and will not come off during normal use.
Repeat for the second side, ensuring both eartips are oriented correctly and matched in size and type.
Clean eartips regularly with a mild detergent or approved disinfectant wipe compatible with stethoscope components; dry thoroughly before use.
Inspect eartips frequently for cracks, hardening, deformation or loss of retention, and replace immediately if any damage or deterioration is noted.
Contraindications
Not suitable for users with known hypersensitivity or allergy to the materials used in the eartips.
Extra-large size may not be appropriate for users with small ear canals or where insertion causes discomfort.
Do not use damaged, deformed or loose-fitting eartips, as they may impair acoustic performance or detach during use.
Adverse Effects
Possible transient discomfort or pressure in the ear canal if the size is not appropriate or if the eartips are inserted too deeply.
Very rare risk of local irritation or contact reaction in sensitive individuals; discontinue use and replace with suitable alternatives if irritation persists.
If not securely attached, an eartip could potentially detach and fall, creating a minor foreign-body hazard if inserted too deeply.
Storage Conditions
Store the stethoscope with eartips fitted in a clean, dry environment away from extreme heat, cold or direct sunlight.
Avoid contact with solvents, oils or strong chemicals that may degrade the eartip material.
When not in use for extended periods, keep the stethoscope in a protective case to reduce dust and contamination of eartips.
Duration
Not applicable; these are reusable accessory components used for the operational lifetime of the eartips, subject to wear, damage and hygiene requirements.
Onset
Immediate acoustic and comfort effect once fitted to the stethoscope and placed correctly in the ears.
