Highly recommended!

The quality is amazing! You can hear so clearly. You can add patient info or you can record without patient info. So far 5 stars!

This was a gift for an inspiring student. The student was brought to tears. Very happy this device is digital.

Solid! Very nice!

Me gusto mucho

Wow this stethoscope is amazing. Instructions come with the stethoscope. Follow the instructions to set it up

This is definitely an added tool that I didn't know I would be able to utilize in so many different ways. I work full-time fire and ems and this guy is top tier. Idk about the agencies you work for but we have issues with our electrodes drying out and not reading properly or those patients you get that are incredibly sweaty no matter how many times you wipe them off with a towel the electrodes just won't stick or stay on. This stethoscope has aided in both of those occurrences many times. Yes it is very pricey but I would purchase it again. The battery life is way better than I expected. Functionally all the buttons work perfectly haven't had any issues with sticking or getting gunked up. Durability is better than expected as well. Wish their were more color options.

This stethescope has a built in ECG lead giving you leads I, II, and III. It also has presets to optimize whatever you are examining--for example cardiac, lung, or general exam. It is easy to toggle between exams. I work in a very noisy emergency department and had basically stopped using a stethescope at all due to the ambient noise interferance and a little hearing loss over the years. Using this stethescope in the ED is fantastic. The sound is crystal clear and the presets greatly augment the clarity. It sounds way better than even the most expensive stethescopes I've had in the past. The ear pieces are pretty comfortable. The stethescope comes with an app that lets you display the ECG tracing and sound waves morphology from the exam. This is useful for learners to see the timing of the heart sounds and also for detecting the rhyhtm abnormality in irregular heartbeats. The app can be upgraded, which I tried. This will let you have additional features like detection of atrial fibrillation automatically or tracking your patient's exams with ECG tracings and recordings over time to monitor progress or deterioration. Downsides: Not really much to complain ablout. The chest piece is slightly larger and heavier than most stethescopes but its not really too bad and the chestpiece can easily be detached and placed in your pocket. Bottom line is I think this is by far the best stethescope I have every owned.
