3M Littmann Cardiology IV Stethoscope High Polish Smoke Chestpiece Smoke Stem 69cm - Gray Tube (6238)

The 3M Littmann Cardiology IV Stethoscope, featuring a High Polish Smoke Chestpiece, Smoke Stem, and 69cm Gray Tube (Model 6238), is an advanced diagnostic solution engineered for exceptional acoustic performance. This stethoscope is designed to help clinicians isolate subtle sounds and hear changes in patients within critical and challenging environments, including the ED, ICU, Cardiac ICU, and step-down units [1, 4, 6, 7, 8]. It facilitates precise auscultation of both high and low-frequency sounds, aiding in the detection of hard-to-hear sounds such as aortic stenosis, S3 gallop murmurs, and faint pulmonary anomalies [1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 9].

Equipped with dual-frequency diaphragms on both sides of the chestpiece, the Cardiology IV Stethoscope allows for versatile assessment of adult and pediatric patients [1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 9]. The 69cm gray tube incorporates a dual-lumen construction, which ensures clear acoustic transmission by reducing external rubbing noises [1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 9, 13]. Soft-sealing ear tips further enhance the acoustic seal and help block out ambient noise, improving sound clarity during examinations [1, 2, 3, 4, 7].

Key Features : 

Core Clinical Function: Designed to isolate subtle sounds and detect hard-to-hear sounds including aortic stenosis, S3 gallop murmurs, and faint pulmonary anomalies, suitable for critical care environments [1, 4, 6, 8].
Key Operating Parameters: Features a High Polish Smoke Chestpiece, Smoke Stem, and 69cm Gray Tube, with dual-frequency, single-piece tunable diaphragms for both adult and pediatric auscultation [1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 10, 13].
Safety Features: Includes soft-sealing ear tips for an enhanced acoustic seal and dual-lumen tubing to eliminate rubbing noises, ensuring clear sound transmission [1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 9, 13]. The tubing is free of natural rubber latex and phthalate plasticizers [2, 4, 9].
Regulatory Approval: Declared as a Class I medical device under the European Medical Device Regulation (EU) 2017/745 [11].
