Question 1

Has anyone had the experience where you can hardly hear using this? Brand new but cannot use

Accepted Answer

The Adscope 618 is a professional stethoscope size optimized for pediatric patient applications.   Its patient friendly Adimals design can help put the smallest patients at ease during the physical exam.  Each Adscope is benched on a test fixture to ensure a reliable acoustic pathway. 
 
The Adscope 618, like many of our Adscopes employs AFD (Adjustable Frequency Design) technology.  Altering the pressure applied to the chestpiece “tunes” the frequency – light pressure for lower frequencies, firmer pressure for higher frequencies.  Perfecting the technique takes a bit of practice. 
 
The most common cause of reduced acoustic performance is poor seal at the ears.  To ensure optimal performance, please note the following:
Orient the headset with the eartips pointing FORWARD towards the bridge of the nose.  (many first -time users wear the headset backward which greatly impedes acoustic transmission to the inner ear)
Ensure you are using optimally sized eartips.  The scope comes with two sizes.  Small are mounted on the scope.  A larger pair are also included.  The eartips should be snug but comfortable.
Spring tension:  Is preset for the “average consumer” but you may need to increase or decrease tension to ensure a snug aural fit. 
 
Following these simple techniques should ensure optimal performance of your Adscope 618.
