The E-Steth Electronic Stethoscope is intended for use as a diagnostic aid in patient diagnosis, treatment and monitoring. It amplifies, records, stores, plays back, and transmits sounds associated with the heart and other internal organs. Significant components include a control unit, installation software earphones, and a communication cable. The E-Steth amplifies sounds in a broad frequency range, including a range higher than the traditional diaphragm mode. The user must supply a personal computer with a Microsoft Windows 95/98 or NT 4.0 operating system, a sound card, and CD-ROM drive. The stored sounds can be transmitted via e-mail. This device is a stand-alone unit, has no software and operates using an analog system with a standard earpiece. It can be converted to electronic by the user buying and using a sound card. The E-Steth records the heartbeat as a stand-alone device. It can be connected to a computer to record information, but the software does not operate the stethoscope in any manner.
