Confirmation of operation procedure
Step１（video 0:00）：user registration procedure
The user registration procedure is explained in detail on another page. HERE
Step２（video 1:00）：Get started with iPax content
①Click the “three lines mark” at the top right of the screen and select “iPax”
②Click “open” on the displayed iPax page to open the case. Clicking on the anterior chest auscultation site (or moving the stethoscope icon with the mouse) moves the chestpiece icon and outputs the sound of the point.
Caution！When listening to these sounds, please use headphones or earphones that are close to your ears. You can hardly listen the heartbeat through the speakers attached to your computer, smartphone, or tablet!
Caution！Listen to the sound in quiet situations. Loud surroundings make it difficult to listen heart sounds and lung sounds.
③With iPax, you can switch between heart sounds and lung sounds on demand, and switch between the anterior chest and back.
・Click the “heart icon” and “lung icon” on the right side of the chest illustration to switch the sound ON⇆OFF.
・Click the “heart icon” and “lung icon” on the right side of the chest illustration to switch the sound ON⇆OFF. (There is no heartbeat setting on the back, so the heart icon should be OFF.)
Step3（video 2:16）：Make a quiz
①Click the “three lines mark” at the top right of the screen and select “Quizzes”
②Click on the sample quiz thumbnails displayed on the ‘Quizzes’ page. Quizzes start.
