A warning statement in this manual identifies a
condition or practice which, if not corrected or discontinued immediately,
could lead to patient injury, illness, or death.
CAUTION:
WARNING:

Selection of the Chestpiece (AFD Models - 600, 601, 603, 604, 608, 612,
614, 615, and 618)
The ADC®ADSCOPES®with AFD Technology provide the enhanced acoustic response
of a traditional bell and diaphragm in a convenient one-sided chestpiece. A rubber gasket around the perimeter of the diaphragm allows you to alter the frequency response by
changing the contact pressure.
(Fig. 1)
For low frequency response (bell phase)
simply hold the chestpiece in place with
light pressure. (Fig. 1)
For high frequency monitoring (diaphragm
phase) apply firm fingertip pressure on the
sculpted finger rest. (Fig. 2)
