Includes manikin, one remote control with LCD display, one SmartScope™ with single- and dual-user headpieces, one 30-watt amplifier/speaker system with speaker and wire connections, and hard storage case. Listen to the sounds by either using headpieces on SmartScope™ or by connecting to an amplifier/speaker (included). One remote control will operate all SpartScopes™ within a 100 ft. The remote control does not have to be pointed directly at the manikin or SmartScope™ to operate. Students can practice auscultation at six anterior heart sites. Just like a real patient! Lung sounds can be detected at five anterior, 10 posterior, and two midaxillary locations. A diagnosis of the condition selected by the instructor can be made by comparing the variations in sounds occurring at different sites. The student must palpate to identify correct auscultation locations, and will hear different heart and lung sounds as the Smartscope™ is moved to different locations on the manikin. The manikin presents itself as a real patient without visible auscultation sites.
Three-Year Warranty The instructor selects from a menu of heart and lung conditions by wireless remote control. Heart and Lung Sounds Vary at Different Sites. All in all though, I am happy with this product and would buy it again. (FYI, The remote only changes the sounds and makes them discoverable when the SmartScope is placed over sensors in the chest at the correct locations.) I believe the sounds actually emanate from the SmartScope itself and not within the chest. I am ordering rechargeable batteries and a charger so at least I can recharge the batteries and still use them if I forget to remove them after each session. My brand new batteries died overnight because I left them in place. The SmartScope uses 2 AA batteries and since there is no switch to turn the SmartScope off/on, you must remove the batteries when you are finished using it for the session or else the batteries will die since the SmartScope stays on as long as the batteries are in place. I found that I did have to apply the round stickers to the locations on the chest or else the students would get very frustrated trying to locate the exact position to hear the sounds. The stethoscope must be positioned very precisely at the locations or else you hear silence. So I give it 4 stars for these qualities. The nursing students enjoy using it to learn about the various sounds. The sounds are fairly realistic, as auscultation trainers go. It is easy to operate and change sounds with the remote. We purchased one of these from a different vendor, and I like it pretty good. Range on the unit is up to 100 feet of remote access. Listen to the sounds by either using headpieces on SmartScope or by connecting to an amplifier/speaker (not included). One remote control will operate multiple sets of SmartScopes and/or manikins simultaneously. The remote control does not have to be pointed directly at the manikin or SmartScope to operate.
