Welch Allyn Stethoscope Tubing

• It is important to clean and disinfect your stethoscope to prevent possible cross-contamination.
• Binaurals and tubing can be wiped down with alcohol or mild soapy water.
• Eartips may be removed for thorough cleaning with alcohol or mild soapy water.
• Diaphragm replacement: Under normal use you should rarely need to remove the rim and diaphragm for cleaning purposes. The exterior of the diaphragm can be cleaned with alcohol or mild soapy water. However, if you do need to remove the diaphragm, follow the instructions below.
  
  A. Holding the diaphragm side facing you, grip the retaining rim with thumb and index finger and push the rim off the edge of the metal chestpiece.
  
  B. To reassemble, align the diaphragm on the chestpiece and push the rim upward.
  
  C. Continue to totally fit the rim onto the chestpiece by aligning the parts in an upward motion until the rim completely snaps on.
• The bell non-chill rim can be removed and replaced in a similar manner.
