About stethoscope Littmann 3000 ?
Question:
2.If there is no battery inside the tube, can be sounds still be heared (without amplification or other technological trick)? I mean if the stethoscope is out the battery can be still used?
3.Is there a main difference between the sound that can be heared with a normal stethoscope and the one of an electronical steth.?
I looked on the official site but i'm afraid they just wanna sell the product, and that's why they exagerate the facilities. I don't belive every word there, so I'm curious, has anyone tried it?
Answers:
As far as i know, you can use the stethoscope even with a dead battery.
The battery powered amplifier only makes the sounds louder, for easier auscultation. You really shouldn't waste your money unless you are a physician or nurse practitioner who diagnosis murmurs and other delicate cardiomyopathy's.
Nurses like me, even though I work ICU environments, don't need such sensitive equipment.
