Product Information

Littmann® Stethoscopes are built with Tunable Technology, an innovation developed by 3M, makes it possible to hear both high and low frequency sounds without moving the placement of your stethoscope chestpiece. Sound waves are amplified when they bounce off a stethoscope’s metal disc (diaphragm or bell) and are carried up the tubing. Fran Fasching DNP, RN, FNP- BC is the owner of Nurse Practitioner Professional Medical Writing (NP2 Medical Writing). The Littmann Classic II Pediatric (Performance Level 7-8) stethoscope has single lumen technology, similar to the lower model adult Littmann products.

To tune the diaphragm to different frequencies, a person just needs to adjust the pressure on the non-chill chest piece and rotate the flexible stem to use one of the sides.The sensitivity of the acoustics: “You want a diaphragm and bell to allow you to hear various frequencies and vibrations. Lightweight design and comfortable earpieces: “This is important if you’re wearing the stethoscope all day. If you have children or an elderly adult in your life, you may want to keep a stethoscope on hand for those quick checks. Amplified stethoscopes aid the conversion of the acoustic sound of auscultation into electronic sound waves, which are then amplified and transmitted to the earpiece.
