Description
The Adscope 603 is one of ADC's most popular acoustic scopes, pairing a stainless combination chestpiece with AFD technology that sharpens both ends of the frequency range. It is the clinician workhorse for busy floors where the same scope moves from routine vitals to a focused cardiac exam without missing a beat.
- AFD technology – Adjustable frequency response enhances high and low tones from the diaphragm, so subtle sounds need less straining to hear.
- Extra-large bell – The 1 3/8-inch bell delivers deep low-frequency response for gallops and rumbles.
- Ultra-sensitive diaphragm – At 1 3/4 inches, the diaphragm amplifies sound and crisps high-frequency transmission for clearer lung and heart tones.
- Lifetime warranty – All parts are covered for life, and registered owners can order free diaphragms and eartips.
The Clinician Stethoscope Busy Floors Rely On
This clinician stethoscope combines a diaphragm and bell in one stainless chestpiece that is precisely machined for outstanding performance and rugged durability. Pressure on the diaphragm shifts its response: light contact favors low bell-type frequencies, while firm contact favors high diaphragm-type frequencies. The clinician headset carries a reinforcing yoke molded into 22 inches of flexible PVC tubing, with stainless binaurals fixed at a 15-degree angle. Med-surg nurses, respiratory therapists, and primary care clinicians who auscultate dozens of patients a day get consistent acoustics without a cardiology price tag. It weighs just 5.8 ounces and measures 30 inches overall, so it hangs comfortably through a full shift.
Features and Benefits
Chestpiece and Acoustics
- Combination diaphragm and bell – One rotating head covers routine and focused exams without swapping instruments.
- AFD-enhanced diaphragm – Adjustable frequency design tunes response by contact pressure for greater amplification where you need it.
- Non-chill rims – Bell and diaphragm retaining rims keep the chestpiece comfortable against bare skin.
Headset and Tubing
- Reinforcing yoke – The yoke is molded into the flexible 22-inch PVC tubing to strengthen the headset's highest-stress point.
- Stainless binaurals – Binaurals fixed at a 15-degree angle improve comfort and acoustic seal (tactical, copper, and iridescent finishes use aluminum binaurals).
- Adsoft Plus eartips – Snap-on silicone eartips seal softly, and the accessory kit includes two spare pairs.

No, it is the same instrument wearing the cause-branded finish. ADC supports the American Cancer Society through its cause-branded products.
What spare parts are included?
The accessory kit contains two pairs of spare Adsoft Plus silicone eartips, and a scope ID tag comes in the box. Registered owners can also order free diaphragms and eartips from ADC.
