To maximize performance of your ADC scope, you want to optimize the seal from the scope's chestpiece to your ears. Any leakage or obstruction will impede performance. First, align the binaurals properly so that the eartips point towards the bridge of your nose. On PROSCOPE series scopes and the ADSCOPE 641, you will need to adjust the binaurals to align the eartips correctly. On ADSCOPE series scopes, the binaurals are pre-angled 15° forward for a snug fit. But, you must make sure to position them correctly - eartips FORWARD. Next, adjust the binaural tension.

Older style Adsoft™ PVC eartips (included on all Adscope® stethoscopes manufactured prior to 2014) are equipped with a threaded insert. If your stethoscope is equipped with threaded eartips, periodically tighten the eartips to ensure security. You may apply Teflon™ tape, or clear nail polish to the binaural thread to improve security without compromising scope performance or jeopardizing warranty coverage. Do not apply the adhesive to the eartips.

Under certain conditions, the PVC tubing used in our ADSCOPES when exposed to atmospheric ozone, combined with skin oils can become rigid. If you wear your scope around the neck, try not to let it come in contact with the skin. In addition, periodic treatment with a vinyl protector (such as Armor All) once a month may delay the process. Should the tubing in your ADSCOPE become rigid, return to ADC for complimentary warranty service.
