- 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.

- Try using them in the other direction. Is the fit better?

Is the fit better?
