Correct Cleaning and Care
To maintain the high acoustic performance of your Littmann® stethoscope, regular and proper cleaning and care are essential. These measures also support the long service life of the stethoscope and help preserve its professional, polished appearance.
Cleaning & Care Tips
After each patient contact, clean your stethoscope using a 70% isopropyl alcohol disinfectant wipe or a cloth moistened with soap and water. In busy clinical environments, ready-to-use disinfectant wipes are particularly practical due to their quick and efficient application. If individual components such as the diaphragm, eartips or non-chill ring become damaged, original Littmann® replacement part kits are available.
Please also note the following:
- Do not subject your stethoscope to any sterilisation processes.
- Never remove the diaphragm on Littmann® Master Series stethoscopes.
- Standard diaphragms may be removed for cleaning.
- Protect your stethoscope from extreme heat or cold, solvents and oils.
