E-Scope Electronic Stethoscope

The evolution of stethoscopes over the last two centuries has assisted the medical community in solving common medical problems more effectively. Heart murmurs, lung diseases and other internal conditons were once considered difficult to diagnose. The stethoscope has gone from a simple, audio device made of inexpensive materials to an electronic device that allows hospital staff to focus their attention to important symptoms. One of the leaders in this evolution is Cardionics.

A major supplier of medical training simulators and manikins for auscultation, Cardionics has created an important line of electronic stethoscopes for general clinical use as well as training. The E Scope II Electronic Stethoscope is one example of the quality product created by Cardionics. In addition to utilizing a simple off-the-shelf (AAA battery) power source, the E Scope II also has a variety of customizable features to maximize diagnostic skills.

If there is an internal sound to be located, the E Scope II stethoscope can find it. Frequency switches provide a wide range of sound options from 40 to 900Hz to locate heart sounds and breath sounds from 70-2000Hz. You can change the quality of sounds you hear by changing the Specialist diaphragm to a bell, if desired. Using StethView Digital Recording software, the listener will be able to view and record the phonocardiogram.

There are several other options available that make the E Scope II a good choice for discerning medical professionals. The automatic shut off function prevents wasted energy by turning the unit off after approximately 2 minutes.. An inexpensive, off-the-shelf AAA battery provides months of power for the E Scope II. You can connect this electronic stethoscope to a stethophone to allow a second listener for training purposes.
