An ergonomic, rugged design makes the stethoscope easy to use.

"The Philips Electronic Stethoscope makes auscultation easier and more dependable,” said Dr. Richard Daum, assistant clinical professor at Tufts University School of Medicine (Boston, MA, USA). "In a noisy and hectic critical-care environment, the superior auscultatory characteristics of this scope give me the versatility and ability to make more precise and effective clinical decisions.”
