“How do I clean my stethoscope?” It’s a question we are asked frequently, and for good reason. Clinicians who care for patients want to help prevent the spread of germs.
To clean your 3M™ Littmann® stethoscope, use 70% isopropyl alcohol solution on a cloth or pre-packaged wipe, and wipe all patient contacting surfaces of your stethoscope between each assessment. Do not use hand sanitizer or wipes with multiple ingredients, as they may include other agents that could damage parts of the stethoscope.

3M Introduces Littmann Electronic Stethoscope Model 3000 with Breakthrough Ambient Noise Reduction (ANR) Technology; Designed to Pick Up Difficult-To-Hear Heart and Lung Sounds While Offering Superior Acoustic Sensitivity
3M created the Littmann Electronic Stethoscope Model 3000 featuring amplification and proprietary ambient noise reduction (ANR) technology. The new Littmann Model 3000 has been proven to reduce ambient noise by an average of 75 percent without filtering out critical body sounds and offers amplification up to 18 times greater than the best acoustic stethoscope. This breakthrough technology represents a key milestone in the area of acoustic sensitivity that can be critical to proper clinical diagnosis and quality auscultation.
In recent controlled experiments, clinicians using the Littmann Model 3000 have picked up difficult-to-hear heart and lung sounds, while missing or misidentifying those same sounds with an acoustic (non-electronic) cardiology-grade

3M™ Littmann® Counterfit Watch
It has come to our attention that counterfeit stethoscopes bearing the Littmann brand are being sold in the USA. While available at a lower cost than the genuine products, these stethoscopes deliver correspondingly poor performance.
To help clinicians be sure they are obtaining a genuine Littmann Stethoscope, all acoustic (non-electronic) stethoscopes with a 2007 lot code (or later) will carry a 3M Confirm™ Authentication Label with Floating Image Technology. This security label will be placed on the underside of every
primary box. (Also on the underside can be found the lot code sticker.)The 3M Confirm label can be viewed best with a viewing tool, such as a doctor's ophthalmoscope or a light source held against the temple of the viewer. Such a tool is, however, not necessary. Either way, the viewer will see an image that appears to "float" above or "sink" below the surface of the label and then disappear as the
