SimScope Auscultation Training Stethoscope
The SimScope stethoscope provides auscultation to manikins and Standardized Patients using RFID tag sensors over corresponding anatomical areas. This stethoscope allows educators to pick any sound from the auscultation library. It's equipped with seven sets of individually tagged RFID sensor patches that go over various parts of the manikin torso. A preselected auscultation sound plays once the stethoscope is placed over the correct location.
The design of the SimScope looks like a sleek electronic stethoscope. It has a chest piece, ear tips, and middle enclosure housing that holds the batteries. The tan fabric patches have adhesive tape and are disposable. The sensor patches go on the manikin or Standardized Patient to provide markers for the SimScope.
