Slim-line design. The E-Scope is a slim-line design that easily wraps around the neck when not in use. It is lighter than an acoustic stethoscope.
Fingertip Control. All the controls for volume and heart sound or breath sound filters are on the head of the stethoscope making it easy for the user to set the volume or filter.
Volume control. On the stethoscope head, there is a (+) and (–) symbol that allows the user to increase or decrease the sound level.
Filter control. A frequency switch for heart sounds (45-900 Hz) and breath sounds (50-2000 Hz). This allows the listener to concentrate on a particular sound
Automatic shut off. The E-Scope shuts off automatically at or about two minutes. Cardionics also has models with 8, 30 and 60 minute shut off timers available upon request at no additional charge at the time of order.
Automatic volume restart. The E-Scope remembers the last volume setting so that when it is turned on, the volume will be set to the previous volume.
Off-the-Shelf Battery. The E-Scope uses a standard off-the-shelf AAA battery that operates the E-Scope for 4-5 months assuming usage at 30 times per day, 6 days per week. Replacement batteries are available at any supermarket or drug store.
Extra ear tips. The E-Scope is supplied with two additional types of ear tips so the user can select the most comfortable – soft rubber, hard plastic or mushroom type.
Ability to change heads. Most electronic stethoscopes have a fixed diaphragm with an electronic switch to change to a bell. Most physicians, however, prefer a physical bell as is found on a standard acoustic stethoscope. A real bell allows the physician to listen to lower frequencies in a manner in which he/she is most accustomed. A bell is used to listen to the lower frequencies and has no diaphragm touching the skin. By pressing the bell on the skin, it can be stretched forming a natural diaphragm.
Selection of diaphragms and bells. The E-Scope is supplied with an adult and pediatric diaphragm as well as three sizes of bells – adult, pediatric and infant.
