I've tried electronic stethoscopes which aren't very good. What makes a Rhythm different?
|
|
Electronic stethoscopes typically use a very simple method of sound
detection - low-cost "telephone-grade" microphone
is positioned behind a conventional stethoscope diaphragm to "listen" to the sound produced within the chestpiece
cavity, like a surrogate human ear. Sound detail is lost as the sound
resonates inside the chestpiece cavity, producing a very "boxy" sound.
The Rhythm stethoscope Electromagnetic Diaphragm (EmD) converts
body vibrations directly into an electronic signal directly at the skin
surface. Signal energy is preserved, and even the slightest diaphragm
displacement is detected. This patented transducer produces a far more
accurate sound than a microphone as used by our competitors.

What's the difference between a Rhythm and a conventional stethoscope?
|
|
The sound clarity. Thinklabs Electromagnetic Diaphragm (EmD) technology
makes all the difference. The diaphragm is electronically active -
vibrations from body sounds are converted right at the diaphragm
surface to a high resolution electronic signal, so there is no loss of
clarity and detail. |
