Thinklabs stethoscopes, available under the Rhythm Stethoscopes brand,
usher in a new level of performance in auscultation, with High Resolution
Auscultation amplification, and superb signal-to-noise ratio. This model is
designed for Cardiology, Pulmonology, Internal Medicine, Emergency Medicine,
Family Practice, Pediatrics, Residents, Medical Students, Nursing, EMT's and
paramedical healthcare practice. Whether your practice involves clinical and
physical examinations in general medical practice, working with asthma,
asthmatic patients and checking for pathological murmurs , or you are checking
for more subtle mitral valve prolapse or aortic incompetence, there is a
Thinklabs electronic stethoscope suited to your medical practice. We are also
working closely with academic institutions, including Medical Schools and
Nursing Schools to enhance the teaching of auscultation skills.
Thinklabs remains the audio performance leader setting a new standard for sound
quality. New functions and features are thoughtfully designed for user-friendly
clinical use. The ds32a amplifies up to 50X with continuously-adjustable volume
control, or, with a single click, Acoustic mode electronically produces the
sound of an outstanding acoustic stethoscope. Allows for instant comparison
between amplified and conventional sound. With the patented Electromagnetic
Diaphragm (EmD), the ds32a is the only stethoscope to use an actual stethoscope
diaphragm as an electronic sensor, so heart and lungs have a familiar sound,
rather than the artificial or muffled sound of alternative sensors and
microphones.
Historically, stethoscopes have been the cornerstone of a fundamental physical
examination skill - auscultation. Auscultation refers to the use of the
stethoscopes to listen to body sounds, such as heart murmurs, heart valves,
breath sounds, and so on. Attempts have been made to enhance auscultation with
electronic stethoscopes. However, electronic stethoscopes have not provided the
clarity required for clinical exams, and medical students and nursing students
have had to accept the limitations of the acoustic stethoscope such as it is.
Thinklabs stethoscopes offer High Resolution Auscultation, which provides
amplification and an unprecedented signal to noise ratio.
Thinklabs Rhythm Stethoscopes set a new standard for medical practice, allowing
the General Practice, Pediatrician, Family Practice or Internal Medicine
specialist to evaluate heart sounds and lung sounds clearly before referring
them out to Cardiologists or Pulmonologists for Echocardiography, Lung Function
testing, etc. Nurses, Residents, Medical Students, Nursing Students, and EMT
personnel will appreciate the quality of high resolution auscultation, in a
stethoscope that provides the same form factor and weight as an acoustic
stethoscope, so that medical practice can be performed in a familiar way without
the need to learn auscultation skills all over again. In fact, auscultation
skills are likely to be significantly enhanced through the use of a Thinklabs
stethoscope.
Thinklabs is also actively working with academic medicine faculty to improve
auscultation skills and expand the use of stethoscopes for screening patients.
The clinical use of the stethoscope has waned in the past decade, as clinical
skills, or more specifically, physical examination skills have been secondary to
other medical knowledge and practice. With new levels of performance in
stethoscope technology, surpassing electronic stethoscopes of the past,
Thinklabs Rhythm Stethoscopes are likely to help improve auscultation skills, so
that medical practitioners find their stethoscopes far more useful than in the
past.
FEATURES:
HIGH POWER AUDIO AMPLIFIER – With 2 AAA batteries for months of operation, and
internal voltage boosting, the ds32a has the power to produce clear low
frequencies for heart murmurs, with more headroom than low-power single-cell
stethoscopes.
TUNABLE DIAPHRAGM –The EmD diaphragm provides tactile control over auscultation.
Light pressure provides low frequency sensitivity. Increase pressure for greater
sensitivity for obese patients or distant sounds. Further pressure accentuates
higher-pitched breath sounds. Easy and intuitive to use, the ds32a has taken
tunable diaphragms to new levels with both frequency and sensitivity control
simply with pressure changes – familiarity made new.
NEW! SECOND-GENERATION AMBIENT NOISE REJECTION (ANR2) – Thinklabs pioneered
ambient noise rejection with its patented EmD technology which intrinsically
rejects ambient noise right at the diaphragm. ANR2 provides a new 2nd stage of
noise rejection for even better performance in high-noise environments. Activate
noise rejection when needed, or deactivate in normal office environments when
noise rejection is unnecessary, thereby providing the purest audio dynamics.
ANR2 gives you control of ambient noise.
LOUDSPEAKER DRIVERS & EARTIPS – High-efficiency Neodymium magnet drivers are
placed right at the eartips for highest clarity. Losses due to sound traveling
through long tubing are eliminated. Soft silicone eartips require almost no
headphone spring tension offering a new level of comfort.
NEW! MUTE FUNCTION – when your patient talks during a carotid exam, coughs, or a
baby cries, mute the sounds at the push of a button.
NEW! FULLY PROGRAMMABLE SETTINGS – Simply power up and use. Or personalize the
ds32a to power up with every mode initially set to your preferences –
Amplify/Acoustic, Bell/Diaphragm, ANR2 Active/Inactive, Auto Shutoff time
2/2/3/4 minutes.
AUDIO INPUT/OUTPUT PORT – provides for recording and listening to recorded
sounds.
CONSTRUCTION – Kevlar reinforced tubing provides soft , high strength tubing.
Thinklabs proves that electronics do not mean compromising the solid look and
feel of a quality stethoscope. The lightweight ds32a has a solid aluminum probe,
and stainless steel headphone tubes. Materials are latex-free.
We are an authorized Thinklabs Distributor.
