Not only is this device revolutionary for users with hearing impairment, but it builds upon a traditional device's capabilities with much needed enhancement and innovation for all users. Pair with Omron's ComFit Blood Pressure Cuff for additional patient diagnostics.

Sound Amplification

Littmann Electronic Stethoscope 3200 uses a sound amplification technology that is capable of amplifying the stethoscope's naturally gathered sounds up to 24 times, allowing the user to hear even the faintest of noises. This works with the noise-canceling technology to ensure the sounds being procured are highly accurate.

Noise Canceling

One of the Littmann 3200 Stethoscope's key features is the incorporation of noise-canceling technology. This technology is capable of eliminating an average of 85% of all ambient noise that would otherwise disrupt the desired noise. This makes listening in real-time much easier and ensures the recording is of the best possible quality.

Built-in Channels

Littmann Model 3200 has twelve built-in channels that allow the user to record up to twelve 30-second recordings of the patient sounds. This feature lets the user revisit the sounds in a quieter place or for easy documentation. In addition to saving patient recordings, these channels can also transmit to the user's PC with Bluetooth technology.

How Amplified Stethoscopes Work

Amplified stethoscopes work in a similar way to traditional acoustic stethoscopes but have an integrated device that aplifies the sound waves. These stethoscopes convert sound waves into electronic signals which then undergo processing to improve the quality of the sound for the user. 3M Littmann Electronic Stethoscope Model 3200 is a cutting-edge device that's capable of amplifying the sound up to 24 times and eliminating an average of 85% of disruptive ambient noise.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: How does one check if the stethoscope is working?

This technology allows the user to revisit and listen to the recorded readings.

Q: For situations that require contact precautions, how should the stethoscope be handled?

A: Stethoscopes should be cleaned between each individual reading. To enact additional precautions, a disposable exam glove man be wrapped over the stethoscope's diaphragm to avoid direct contact with the patient's skin.
