3M Littmann Classic III Diagnostic Stethoscope - 1 Unit
Early identification of cardiac valve murmurs, pulmonary crackles, and bronchial wheezing depends directly on the acoustic precision of a clinician's stethoscope. The 3M Littmann Classic III is the clinical standard across hospitals in East Africa. Featuring a dual-sided chestpiece with tunable diaphragms on both adult and pediatric sides, it allows clinicians to switch between low and high-frequency sounds by simply adjusting pressure on the chestpiece.
How to Use / Operate
Angle the eartips forward toward your nose before inserting them into your ears. Select the adult or pediatric side by rotating the chestpiece stem until it clicks into place. Apply light pressure to hear low-frequency sounds and firmer pressure to hear high-frequency sounds.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 3M Littmann Classic III used for?
It is a diagnostic medical device used by healthcare providers to perform physical examinations of the heart, lungs, arteries, and abdomen.
How do I clean my Littmann stethoscope?
Clean the entire stethoscope between patients using 70% isopropyl alcohol wipes. Do not immerse the instrument in any liquid or subject it to steam sterilization.
Important Clinical Considerations
Ensure the eartips fit snugly to maintain an airtight acoustic seal and isolate background noise in busy ward environments. Keep the flexible tubing away from direct skin contact or extreme heat to prevent oil-induced tubing stiffness.
