Finding Clarity Amid CacoPhony Until now, the advantages of amplification in an electronic stethoscope have been negated by the sensitivity of electronic stethoscopes to distracting sounds from ambient room noise and friction on the surface of the patient's body.
But thanks to a proprietary technological advancement known as Ambient Noise Reduction (ANR), the 3M Littmann Electronic Stethoscope Model 3000 allows you to reduce distracting room noise by an average of 75% without eliminating critical body sounds. Combine that with amplification up to 18 times greater than the best acoustic (non-electronic) stethoscope and you have an instrument that is uniquely equipped to help you pick up difficult-to-hear heart, lung and other body sounds.
How Ambient Noise Reduction (ANR) Works Ambient noise isn't just in the air; it also travels through the patient's body. The key to reducing ambient noise is to address both pathways. And ANR does just that without filtering away important sounds. Noise from the room enters the stethoscope through a thin gap in the chestpiece and, once inside, meets noise that enters through the body. The two cancel each other out, leaving the heart, lung and other body sounds you want to hear.
Unique Design Because of the unique design of its diaphragm and sensor, the Model 3000 can be used comfortably on all body types and sizes. The versatile chestpiece can accommodate infant, pediatric and adult patients, and it is ergonomically designed for easy hand manipulation and patient comfort.
