3m Littmann Stethoscope Classic III - Navy Blue 5622

The 3M Littmann Stethoscope Classic III is a dual-head stethoscope designed for general diagnostic and auscultation purposes. It features a tunable diaphragm on both the adult and pediatric sides of the chestpiece, allowing for the detection of a range of frequencies by adjusting pressure. The pediatric side is adaptable and can be converted into an open bell by removing the single-piece diaphragm and replacing it with a non-chill rim.

This conversion is particularly useful for auscultating sounds in smaller patients, around dressings, or during carotid assessments. The single-piece diaphragm is designed for ease of cleaning due to its smooth, crevice-free surface, and it is simple to attach and detach. When the pediatric side is converted to an open bell, a non-chill rim is utilized to maintain patient comfort.

The stethoscope is constructed with next-generation tubing that is not made with natural rubber latex or phthalate plasticizers, contributing to durability and user safety. The overall length of the instrument is 69 cm. This model is presented in a navy blue color.

It is intended for use in non-critical healthcare settings for monitoring and assessing patients, and for detecting normal and abnormal body sounds and rhythms. The instrument is suitable for use by medical professionals such as physicians, nurses, and medical students. Caregivers may also utilize this device for patient monitoring.

Typical applications include routine physical examinations, patient assessment in clinics and general practice, and educational purposes. It is important to ensure the diaphragm and bell surfaces are clean before use and that proper technique is applied to obtain clear acoustic readings. The device is covered by a five-year warranty.
