Commonly Asked Questions
 
Question: Will either the pediatric or infant stethoscope offer the same sound quality and intensity as the Cardiology IV when using the small side?
 
Answer: The diameter of the pediatric diaphragm is the same as that of the pediatric stethoscope. The tunable diaphragm, along with the design of the small side of the Littmann Cardiology III chestpiece, offers better sound especially in the low-frequency end of the spectrum. Sound intensity of the Littmann Cardiology IV stethoscope is greater than that found in the infant stethoscope. The need for good surface contact at the auscultation site would be the reason a practitioner would use a smaller stethoscope. The Littmann Cardiology IV offers greater versatility than either the infant or pediatric stethoscope.
 
Question: Can I use the infant stethoscope on neonates?
 
Answer: Most neonatal specialists report that the diameter of the bell and diaphragm on this model is still too large to get good surface contact. If the infant is larger, the Littmann Classic II Infant model would be appropriate.
 
The Littmann Classic II Infant stethoscope is made in the USA for consistent quality. It comes complete with large soft-sealing eartips, large firm eartips, and instructions.
