Features and Benefits:
Aviation Style Headphones;
To minimize outside noise and enhance comfort, the E-Scope EMS
Electronic Stethoscope utilizes aviation-style headphones. The padded
seal around the ears and insulation inside the headphones significantly
reduce outside noise allowing the paramedic to hear soft breath and/or
heart sounds in an ambulance or other noisy environment. The ear pads
provide cushioned comfort for long-term use.
Cable length. The
cable length on the E-Scope EMS is 36 inches.
Finger-tip Control
All the controls for volume and
heart sound or breath
sound filters are on the stethoscope
chest piece and as well as on the headphone.
Volume Control.
On the stethoscope chest piece, the + or – symbol is pressed to
increase or decrease the sound volume. On the headphone, a toggle
switch increases or decreases the sound volume. The toggle switch is
easily operated with a gloved finger.
Breath and Heart Sound Filter
Control. Since breath sounds are in the 50-1600 Hz
range and heart sounds are in the 50-700 Hz range, the E-Scope EMS can
be adjusted to concentrate on these frequency ranges. The · symbol on
the stethoscope chest piece switches the frequency response between
these two ranges. A push button on the headphone is also available for
a quick frequency response change.
Automatic Shut Off.
To extend the life of the AA battery, the E-Scope EMS shuts off
automatically after 1.5 minutes (an optional 8-minute
shut off is available.)
Automatic Volume Restart.
When the E-Scope Electronic Stethoscope is turned ON, it remembers the
last volume setting thus keeping new volume adjustments to a minimum.
Off-the-Shelf Battery.
The E-Scope EMS uses a standard off-the-shelf AA battery that operates
the E-Scope EMS for about 5 months assuming usage at 30 times per day, 6
days per week. Replacement batteries are available wherever batteries
are sold.
Selection of diaphragms and bells.
The E-Scope EMS model is supplied
with a Specialist Adult Diaphragm Adult Bell. This model is also
supplied with a pediatric diaphragm. |
