[thedistributor)
is designed for use when there is a need for
several people to listen to a patient simultan-
eously. By using [thedistributor), up to six
people can participate. The "Master" listener
controls the auscultation process with his or
her stethoscope. Others are co-listeners who
will hear the same sounds by connecting their
stethoscopes or headsets to [thedistributor).
Up to three groups of listeners may be linked
together with additional [thedistributor)’s as
needed for larger groups.
Since 1915, Welch Allyn has been a company
dedicated to bringing you the best in diagnostic
instrumentation for the front line health care
professional. The new Welch Allyn Electronic
Stethoscope continues this tradition.
The Welch Allyn Electronic Stethoscope -
based upon proprietary technology from
Meditron AS - provides superior sound
reproduction due to its sensor-based
methodology. Other electronic stethoscopes
depend upon a microphone for sound
reproduction. Unfortunately, no matter the
fidelity, microphones pick up ambient noise
in the environment transmitted through the
stethoscope diaphragm and chestpiece.
The Welch Allyn Electronic Stethoscope utilizes
a highly directional, recessed pressure sensor
which eliminates much of the ambient noise in
the environment while faithfully reproducing
body sounds in the same "color" as a traditional
Welch Allyn stethoscope. Amplification can be
varied as desired by the practitioner.
Recognizing the need for improved auscultation
skills, the Welch Allyn Electronic Stethoscope is
just one part of a complete teaching and
diagnostic system. When combined with
[thedistributor) - a product for sending
sounds from the stethoscope to others -
and [theanalyzer) - a software accessory
for recording sounds and phono-
cardiograms, the Welch Allyn Electronic
Stethoscope System is a powerful
addition to any hospital, clinic, or health
care professional's diagnostic toolbox.
