My companion bought me this stethoscope for Christmas. I am an RN and see many patients in the home setting with cardiac disease. This stethoscope has allowed me to educate my cardiac patients on this disease. I am very pleased with the quality this tool brings to my profession.

I discovered the EKO previously with the Littman digital stethoscope, and as great as it was it needed some upgrades that the 500 has. The LCD screen and ability to change filters directly in the device itself is game changer. The 3 lead EKG is outstanding and a fib indicator is an on point indicator that saves life. Due to my hearing impairment the Hearing amplification on previous models was good but the 500 solves this problem completely, as a teacher on rounds I can record and show my students perfectly without troubling my patients to have 4 doctors inspect separately ultimately a great device

3M really has a good product. They have a great package and material engineering plan. Everything about it deserves superlatives, including its choice of shipper; The Worst. A $400 piece of medical equipment is shipped by the lowest bidder? Do better, and when you redesign it, give a battery user serviceable battery, so the entire unit won’t need to be replaced, when the battery won’t hold a charge anymore.

I am a paramedic and was looking forward to hearing lung sounds in a noisy ambulance. The battery life is good and it feels just like a classic Littman hanging aroundd the neck but there are several disappointments: 1) The amplification is LOUD and background noise cancellation is pretty good but there seems to be no sound isolation or cancellation from contact with the scope head so you hear your hand pulse, clothes contact and tiny movements drown out the breath sounds. If you are placing the scope under a patient's shirt, this is very loud and annoying. It's much worse than my Littman Cardiology IV in this regard. 2) The display and 3 lead are nearly useless in field EMS practice because they require both direct skin contact and direct visualization of the stethoscope head. In EMS, we rarely remove a patient's shirt - instead we place the scope under the shirt on skin and so we can't see the display. The scope requires good skin contact and can't tolerate chest hair so even when I remove the shirt, it's much more finicky than the electrodes from a Lifepak or Zoll. 3) Your fellow practitioners will say "I can't believe you spent that much money on a scope!" Depending on your view, that's a compliment or insult. Bottom line for EMS: it amplifies a lot, but that's iabout all that it does. I have a 75 day trial and will decide whether to return it soon.
