3M™ Single-Patient Stethoscope - Pack Of 100 - Adult

Keep your patients safe. Hear with confidence.

Now there is a new, single-patient disposable stethoscope that gives you and your patients the quality you deserve. 3M have combined their advanced acoustic engineering with their expertise in infection prevention to create a single-patient stethoscope with excellent performance and a comfortable design. The 3M™ Single-Patient Stethoscope can make your job easier while enhancing patient care and helping minimize the risk of cross-contamination.

One patient. One stethoscope.

Patients in isolation are among the most infectious and can be vulnerable and susceptible to infection. Using a single-patient stethoscope is a recommended isolation precaution that helps lower the risk of cross-contamination.¹ A single-patient stethoscope should be used with patients under isolation precautions, stay in the patient’s room while the patient is in isolation, and be disposed of when no longer needed.¹

Designed unlike any other single-patient stethoscope

  • High-quality acoustics - Clear, reliable sound helps you hear the sounds you need during patient assessments.
  • Pressure-sensitive diaphragm - Hear high- and low-frequency sounds by varying pressure on the chestpiece.
  • Soft, flexible eartips - Seal out ambient noise and achieve more comfort with soft, flexible eartips.
  • Comfortable headset - Enjoy the comfort of a proper fit with angled ear tubes and flexible headset that provides an excellent seal.
  • Flexible tubing - Easily move and position the chestpiece on the patient with flexible tubing.
  • Easy-grip chestpiece - Easily hold and maneuverer the moulded chestpiece, designed to accommodate multiple hand positions.

 

3M is aware that it has become common practice for healthcare professionals to use hand gels and surface disinfection products to disinfect their stethoscopes.

 

Some of these products are known to cause damage to rubber and certain plastics, and our investigations have shown that they can cause damage to the diaphragm of 3MTM Littmann® Stethoscopes. We have discussed this with the manufacturers of some of the most frequently used hand sanitiser products, and they have confirmed that these products are not tested for use on the surfaces of medical devices and should not be used for this purpose.

 

3M recommends that only 70% alcohol is used for stethoscope disinfection.

 

If your stethoscope needs to be disinfected, wipe with a 70% isopropyl alcohol solution.

 

Do not immerse your stethoscope in any liquid, or subject it to any sterilization process.

 

Keep your stethoscope away from extreme heat, cold, solvents and oils. Diaphragms can be removed from the chestpiece and their surfaces wiped with alcohol or soapy water. Dry thoroughly before reassembly. Eartips can be removed from the ear tubes for thorough cleaning. For safety, snap eartips firmly back onto the ribbed ends of the ear tubes.

 

Customers wishing to use other products should establish with the manufacturer whether they are suitable for use on their stethoscope.

 

Please be aware that the use of products which are not recommended for use on stethoscopes and which are known to damage the materials used in stethoscope manufacture will invalidate their stethoscope warranty.
