Important Information Before Use
You have purchased a high quality RIESTER stethoscope, which has been manufactured according to the guidelines 93/42 EEC and is subject to contiuous quality control checks. The chest-pieces are produced using CNC-precision which thereby guarantees a constantly high level of quality. • • • • •
The non-chill rings guarantee not only patient-friendly use but also improved acoustics. The spiral-shaped surface structure of the ri-rap® stethoscope results in optimum surface adaptation. The Riester stethoscope programme provides all possibilities for the perfect auscultation of adults and children and even new-born children. All stethoscopes are supplied with replacement parts. Further information can be found in these Instructions for Use.
Please read through the Instructions for Use carefully before using and keep them in a safe place. If you should have any questions, we are available to answer them at any time. Our address can be found on the last page of these Instructions for Use. The address of a Riester specialist dealer close to you can be supplied upon request. Please note that the perfect functioning of the stethoscope can only be ensured if original accessories from Riester are used. Significance of the symbol on the folding box: Attention, please read the accompanying documents!

Low/High Frequencies By turning the chest-piece, the membrane (high frequencies) or the bell side (low frequencies) can be set. When performing auscultation, it is essential to ensure that the surface adaptation is good. When measuring blood pressure, it is possible to push the chest-piece partly under the cuff with the membrane side showing downwards. It is possible to recognise immediately on the closed/opened bell outlet which side is active. After putting on the binaural and lightly stroking across the membrane, it is possible to tell acoustically whether the membrane is active. With the ri-rap® model it is also possible to change the small membrane side alternatively to an open bell. The different bell sizes are to be found with the accompanying replacement parts. 7
3.
Adjustment/Putting on the Binaural Please ensure that the binaural are adjusted to the anatomically correct angle, i.e. the binaural are to be worn such that they sit slightly in front (see Fig. A).
Fig A With the models duplex®, duplex® baby, duplex® neonatal, anestophon® and ri-rap® the angle can be adjusted by turning the binaural individually. The ear-tips sit correctly if they rest completely at the same angle as the external auditory canal and disturbing external noises are optimally blocked out. The soft Riester ear-tips are particularly well-suited for this reason. In case the spring-action of the binaural is too strong or too weak, proceed as follows. In case the spring adjustment is too weak, take both binaural and press them together, as shown in Fig. B.
Fig. B In case the spring adjustment is too strong, take both binaural and expand them, as shown in Fig. C. Fig. C

Exchanging the Membranes und Ear-tips In order to change the membranes, take the non-chill ring between thumb and index finger and pull it off of the chest-piece. Place the non-chill ring with the flat side facing downwards on an even surface and place the membrane into the non-chill ring with the printed side facing upwards. Take the non-chill ring with the membrane and push it onto the chestpiece. In order to exchange the ear-tips, twist them off the binaural in a counter-clockwise direction. Put on the new ear-tips by twisting them onto the binaural in a clockwise direction.

Care The entire stethoscope may be wiped off with a cloth and a little alcohol or soap-suds. Attention: Do not use alcohol or other solvents for cleaning the printed membrane. Do not submerge the stethoscope in liquids and do not sterilize. Never use disinfectants based on phenol to clean and disinfect the stethoscopes. The pH-value of the used solvents must be between 4.5 and 10.
6.
Maintenance RIESTER stethoscopes and their accessories do not require special maintenance. Should the stethoscope require checking for any reason, send it to us or an authorised RIESTER specialist dealer close to you, who we will be pleased to specify upon request.
