PCP-USB Stethoscope Kit Components

PCP-USB stethoscope has been verified to function with all Windows based Teladoc Health Devices.

  • Stethoscope assembly (pre-mounted on the Patient Access Device)
  • Stethoscope chest piece
  • Headset with in-line volume control

PCP-USB Stethoscope Operation

The Stethoscope chest piece is applied to a patient by hospital staff following the physician’s directions (received through normal Patient Access Device audio).

CAUTION: Do not pull on the cables. Do not pull the Patient Access Device using the cables. Cables may break, especially near the junction points with the Patient Access Device.

  • Ensure the Patient Access Device is within 6 feet of the patient.
  • Connect the PCP-USB stethoscope into the USB port of the Patient Access Device.
  • Put on the Stethoscope headset (if desired).
  • Put on gloves.
  • Apply the stethoscope chest piece on the patient as directed by the remote physician.
  • Disinfect the chest piece after the consult and return it to its bracket.
  • Remove gloves.
  • Return the headset to its bracket.

PCP-USB Stethoscope Headset

Using the headset is optional, but it may be used to assist with placement of the chest piece on the

patient or as an aid for teaching or mentoring. The Patient Access Device headset allows the medical assistant to listen to the Stethoscope while still being able to hear the normal Patient Access Device audio and other sounds in the environment.

Cleaning, Preventive Inspection, Maintenance and Calibration

The PCP-USB requires no preventive inspection, no preventive or routine maintenance, and it does not have to be calibrated.

The PCP-USB is not a sterile device and does not require sterilization or disinfection. It can be cleaned, as required, by wiping with alcohol or a sanitizing towelette.
