The chest piece shall be a combination type, The combination chest piece shall substantially reduce all sounds for the chest piece not selected so t
11、hat a minimum increase of 25 decibels (db) is required for audible sound to pass through that chest piece, when tested as specified.

The sound transmission shall be such that the corrected threshold values in decibels (lowest
14、 audiometer volume for audibility) shall be the following maxima when tested as specified: CYCLES PER SECOND Frequency 125 500 1,000 2,000 3,000 Bell O 5 10 -* - Diaphragm - - 10 15 35 * Blank spaces indicate absence of requirement. Tests. (a) Effectiveness of selector valve. This test shall be run
15、at 125 cycles per second (cps) only. The bell side of the chest-piece is shut off. The stethoscope is fitted to the ears of the tester and the binaurals adjusted for optimum hearing. The bell is placed concentrically over the output earphone and an airtight junction established. The diaphragm (on to
16、p side) is masked with a sponge or the palm of the hand. The volume of sound is increased until the threshold value is obtained. There shall be a minimum increase of 25 db required to reach the threshold value with the bell shut compared to the threshold value at 125 cps with the bell open. Since th
17、is determination is based on the difference in readings, no corrections should be applied. the audibility threshold, the greater the effectiveness of the selector valve. The greater the increase in dbs required to reach (b) Sound transmission test. All sound transmission tests on the stethoscopes sh
18、all be conducted in a room with a minimum and constant level of background noise. audiometer complying with ANSI Standard S3.6 shall be the test instrument. An The audiometer is allowed to warm up for 15 minutes and hearing of the tester shall be established as being normal by comparing his audiogra
19、m with audiograms of six other people whose hearing is considered normal. Normal hearing is defined as being no more than 15 db above audiometric zero for a given frequency. testers hearing is screened are at 125, 500, 1,000, 2,000, and 3,000 cps. Audibility thresholds are determined for each freque
20、ncy, that is, the minimum db level at which sound is detectable. These threshold values for the tester are The frequencies at which the 3 Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-A-A-54772 m 9999974 OL20962 I159 m A-A-54772 run each time just
21、prior to the evaluation of stethoscopes. Audiogram values for the tester shall be run each half-hour in order to compensate primarily for variations in the background noise level. The maximum audiogram values at each frequency, whether obtained with one ear or the other during the testing, shall be
22、used as corrections. Although both earphones are placed over the ears of the tester, only one earphone shall transmit the sound to the tester. The other earphone is kept soundless. The audiogram values are subtracted from the corresponding frequency values obtained on the stethoscopes to give correc
23、ted readings. Frequency response characteristics. The operative side of the chest piece is placed in the center of the output earphone of the audiometer. A pressure on the chest piece just adequate to maintain a hermetic seal is maintained during the testing. The binaurals of the stethoscopes are ad
24、justed for optimum reception by the tester. When the chest piece, especially the bell of the pediatric size, is smaller than the center hole of the foam rubber pad of the audiometer earphone, it will be necessary to use a soft, one-eighth inch layer of foam rubber or plastic with a hole in it just s
25、lightly smaller than the bell being tested. Such an adapter gasket provides the necessary hermetic coupling of the bell to the audiometer earphone. with a 125 cps frequency setting the volume of sound is varied until the point is reached at which the sound from the audiometer is just detectable. Thi
26、s is the threshold value. The same procedure is repeated for 500, 1,000, 2,000 and 3,000 cps. The audiogram value for each frequency is subtracted from the value for the corresponding frequency obtained on the stethoscope being tested. corrected readings are compared with the requirements stated und
