Ear exam

Follow below steps to perform the exam:

1. Connect the stethoscope module.
2. Instruct the patient to breath normally.
3. Place the stethoscope in the correct point and ensure the stethoscope’s membrane is fully applied to the body with its whole surface – the recording will start automatically after touching the skin.
4. Wait for the recording to end automatically after 10 seconds.
5. Click move forward (“>”) and place the stethoscope on the next point.

Find correct points where to place the stethoscope:

• Point 1 – locate two lines: a horizontal line at the level of the armpit and a vertical line running from the beginning of the collarbone, the point is located on the horizontal line and adjacent to the vertical line.
• Point 2 – is on the opposite side at the intersection of the same lines.
• Point 3 – is halfway along the sternum on the left.
• Point 4 – is located at the intersection of the horizontal line of the sternum and the vertical line running next to the nipple.

Avoid the most common mistakes:

• Patient breathing too deeply.
• Putting the stethoscope in the wrong place, on bones or clothing.
• Not waiting for the timeout to finish and moving the stethoscope.
• Holding the device too tightly.
