The diaphragm side of the stethoscope should be placed on user's
chest wall to assess for both heart and lung sounds. Only use the bell (or
closed bell) of the stethoscope when assessing low frequency sounds as
recommended by a clinician (refer to Figure 2).

Headset alignment
Before placing the eartips in
your ears, hold the headset in
front of you with the eartubes
pointing away. Once the eartips
are in your ears, they should
point forward.
Open the diaphragm
When using a double-sided
stethoscope (refer to Figure 3),
you need to open (or index) the
bell or diaphragm by rotating
the chestpiece.
If the diaphragm is open, the
bell will be closed, preventing
sound from coming through the
bell, and vice versa.
