UltraScope is a single sided pressure sensitive acoustic stethoscope for complete assessment/diagnosis of heart/lung sounds in human and animal patients. UltraScopes excel in medically challenging situations allowing assessment even in noisy environments and/or through dressings or thick clothing, when access to skin is not possible.
The precision machined acrylic head provides excellent sound conduction UltraScope customers consistently compare it favorably to the leading cardiology stethoscope. Each UltraScope is individually hand painted and can be engraved, to make it uniquely personal. Call UltraScope directly at 800-677-2673 for replacements and repairs.

Why Ultrascope?
Auscultation
Auscultation with the UltraScope Stethoscope is very easy. The UltraScope's unique, rounded, single-sided acrylic head offers efficiency in auscultation. Sounds are easily monitored by alternating pressure between auscultation sites. Use very light pressure for low frequency responses, firmer pressure for higher frequency responses. Too much pressure will block all sound.
Performance
The UltraScope Excels in medically challenging situations. It is as good as any cardiology scope on the market. To listen on skin is always optimal, but there are many situations that require otherwise. The UltraScope works in excessively noisy environments, through multiple layers of clothing or bandages, or when it is preferable patients remain dressed.
Blood Pressure Assessments
The UltraScope is excellent for blood pressure assessments. Yes, our stethoscope head is large and does not fit under the cuff; but it shouldn't fit under the cuff. According to "Human Blood Pressure Determination by Sphygmomanometry" copyright 1994, by the American Heart Association, the head of the stethoscope should always be placed below the edge of the cuff, never touching it, to avoid extraneous noise that can interfere with assessment.
The UltraScope Lifetime Warranty
UltraScope warrants your UltraScope/MAXIScope stethoscope for life. The warranty applies to the original owner and is not transferable. Your UltraScope will be repaired or replaced at the option of UltraScope, if a manufacturing or material defect is determined.
UltraScope eartips, diaphragm, retaining ring, binaurals, and internal spring will be replaced at no charge. UltraScope tubing is also warranted if a manufacturing or material defect is determined.
Abuse, including neglect, unauthorized alteration i.e. switching one head between different tubings or repair attempts will void the warranty.
Care & Cleaning
*Use an alcohol wipe to clean the head, diaphragm, and retaining ring only. Please DO NOT soak any part of your stethoscope in liquid.
*A cloth dampened with water and antibacterial soap can be used to clean any part of your UltraScope. Wipe well with a damp cloth until all soap is removed. Then dry completely.
*The tubing can be "shined" with a cloth sprayed with pledge or other non-solvent or non-petroleum distillate polish.
*Normal usage may loosen the diaphragm, retaining ring, and eartips. Check your scope before use.
Trouble Shooting: "I Cannot Hear!"
Remember: Pressing too hard - blocks out all sound!
*Use LIGHT pressure for HEART sounds
*Use FIRMER pressure for LUNG sounds
*Use MEDIUM pressure for taking blood pressure readings.
*Are eartips in ear canal properly? The eartips should point away from your body.
*Try using them in the other direction. Is the fit better?
*Do the metal binaurals feel twisted in your ears? Hold both the binaurals/eartips in your hands, pointed away from your body, gently push them away from you to align, using equal pressure."
*Is the fit better?
*When you tap on the diaphragm, does it make a drum sound? If not, your diaphragm is loose.
*Tighten by holding head and turning Retaining Ring clockwise.
*Are the diaphram and retaining ring still attached to the head of your scope? See Tubing & Parts for replacements.
*Are you pressing harder than necessary? Try lighter pressure.
*Are you in a noisy enviroment? Place entire palm over headpiece and apply the correct pressure using the palm of your hand.
