Tele-auscultation hinges on sound quality. The better the sound quality, the more likely an auscultating clinician or remote consultant will be able to detect difficult to hear heart, lung and body sounds. And the better the ability to remotely diagnose, the more likely tele-auscultation becomes standard therapy practice. 3M™ Littmann® Stethoscopes is leading the way. 3M™ Littmann® stethoscopes are known for their exceptional sound quality. And the award-winning 3M™ Littmann® Electronic Stethoscope Model 3200 with Bluetooth® technology is no different. In fact, clinical evidence shows it's easier to detect difficult-to-detect heart and lung sounds with the Littmann® Electronic Stethoscope Model 3200 vs. a high-end cardiology grade stethoscope. 1-3 Now, this great clinically-proven stethoscope has been paired with software that works for tele-auscultation. The digitally-captured sound of a patient is effortlessly sent across a secure data network to a Littmann® Electronic Stethoscope Model

The 3M™ Littmann® SoundBuilder App is a learning tool designed to help improve the auscultation skills of students and practicing clinicians. There are 14 unique lessons - based upon key heart sounds - that combine text, a virtual mannequin, 3D cardiac animation and dynamic waveforms. Visit www.itunes.com to download the FREE app today.

Proprietary Ambient Noise Reduction Technology It cancels out, on average, 85% of ambient background noise that can interfere with the auscultation experience, without eliminating critical body sounds. So you're much less likely to miss the sounds you need to hear in noisy work environments. A full 10% better than previous models.

Acoustic Seal Eartips and Tubing Not only do our patented 3M™ Littmann® Snap Tight Soft-Sealing Eartips provide a comfortable fit, they also create an excellent acoustic seal, as does our tubing. It means a tighter seal from ambient noise entering through tubing and eartip connections.State-of-the-Art Sound Sensor Built to stringent specifications, it provides a life-like 3M™ Littmann® sound experience similar to a high-end cardiology stethoscope. Positioned at the base of the tubing, the sensor brings the sound more naturally to your ears.

Littmann stethoscopes with unique tubing colors and chestpiece finishes make excellent holiday gifts. So at this time of year it is appropriate that we announce six additions to our product line.

The decision to introduce products with these unique colors and finishes was based on input from our color consultants, on sales history of products with similar colors or finishes, on consumer research, and on input from key opinion leaders and Littmann stethoscope dealers. For example, brass as a finish has proven to be a top seller in the Classic II and Cardiology III lines, so we are now making it available in Master Cardiology.

Redding Medical is excited to offer these new colors. Visit our website to order your new stethoscope.
