ADC 615PBCA Adscope Model 615 Platinum Sculpted Clinician Stethoscope with Tunable AFD Technology, Lifetime Warranty, Breast Cancer Awareness Metallic Pink

I am an emergency physician. I use my stethoscope every day of my working life. For years I used a 3M Littmann Master Cardiology Stethoscope, Black Plated Chestpiece and Eartubes, Black Tube, 27 inch, 2161 (currently over $200). A year ago I picked up this ADC Adscope 615, and since then this has become the only stethoscope I bring to work. The longer tubing helps avoid bending over and saves my back. The elongated chest piece handles very nicely. Critically for me, it is light around the neck. Much much lighter than the Littman. It's quite possible that a technical acoustic assessment would find differences between the Littman (with it's thicker, shorter tubing, and heavier and more expensive chest piece) and the 615. However, for the scope of my work in the Emergency Department there are no differences which impact my clinical performance whatsoever. Even cardiologists these days rely far more on echocardiograms and do not make definitive diagnoses of murmurs by auscultation alone, so I really wonder if there are any physicians for whom there is an appreciable difference in performance. At under $50, with the longer tubing, the lighter carrying weight around the neck or in the coat pocket, and the excellent acoustics, this is a great choice for any physician, PA, NP, nurse, paramedic, EMT or medical student. The price tag definitely takes the sting out of losing one of these, which happens every few years.

Perfect for the price! Lightweight. I honestly forget that I’m wearing it around my neck when I’m charting. Soft ear pieces. Better than the high dollar stethoscopes.

Not too heavy and well-made, I've had them for a few years, and they still work great! The sound is clear and bright.

I love the color (purple) and the sound is really good. Only thing I’m not a fan of is the long diaphragm because it’s hard to get a good seal on the arm when doing manual blood pressure. Other than that I really like this stethoscope.

I ordered the BCA Metallic Pink after the Metallic Raspberry arrived as a purple color rather than the bright fuschia that many pictures show. I've attached the image of the two side by side. This stethoscope has awesome acoustics, you can hear lung sounds and heart sounds simultaneously yet clear. It helps if you use it as designed (light for diaphragm, firm for bell). For the price I am ecstatic that I'm impressed and not disappointted. With this 615, I was able to clearly auscultate a click murmur that I couldn't pick up very clear with my MDF MD-One nor my classmates Littman classic II so I'm sold on this ADC. Make sure you Register you scope with ADC right away for your lifetime warranty. So that way anything that need a replaced can be shipped out, the stethoscope companies understand how important it is for us to be equipped with our much needed tools in order to provide care to our patients.

I am a med student currently in my clinical rotations like all others I was in a dilemma whether to buy Litman or the never heard brand ADC. I spent about 2 days trying to find out the best stethoscope possible. After detailed reviews, I thought I should go for the branded Litman and it was costing me around 120$. Then my friend and most other people even suggested Litman. I have to tell you honestly if you want to get Litman get the top cardiology one don't waste your 120$ for something which is not very worthy I feel. But if you are med student and you are on a budget and want to get the top cardiology Litman mimic then get ADC Adoscpe 615 platinum. I have to tell you this one almost resembles the Litman cardiology and it just beats Litman classic-3. I believe this is just the right product for any med student who's in their rotation and when I received the product I felt its quite durable as well. I hope I don't have to get another one until I finish my residency. Litman's classic series is just a brand I feel. Its like BENZ there are basic and top-end models. people who ride the basic model they don't know why they are spending so much still they are buying it just for the brand. Please don't fall into the trap and not all branded products have great quality and vice-versa. This is my opinion because I have spent an ample amount of time comparing and used Litman products in hand. I would highly recommend hands down.

I'm a nurse and I need a good stethoscope for listening to heart and lung sounds. I also need a stethoscope for taking manual blood pressures. The ADC Adscope is great as far as listening to heart sounds. It's clear as a bell. You can tell the bell portion is high quality - its built like a Littman. Compared to many stethoscopes, the tubing on this one is rubbery. I can't say that I like that feature - it may prove to be harder to clean than the more vinyl tubing of other stethoscopes. Also, there's no carrying case. Sure, I plan on wearing this around my neck most of the time, but its less pretentious to keep it in a storage case on your way to work. Plus it stays cleaner that way. Wow - I love how snug the earplugs fit into my ears. What a great stethoscope for the money. Fantastic sound. Awesome purchase.

great sound for the money. I am sick and tired of buying 300 dollars scopes, that are stolen off the wards. I will stick with this , one year from retirement.

Ich besitze dieses Stethoskop jetzt seit 5 Jahren im Rettungsdienst und bin super zufrieden damit. Die manuelle RR Messung klappt damit genauso gut wie das Abhören von Lunge, Abdomen etc. Durch die Form lässt es sich zudem gut mit den Fingern fixieren und führen. Außerdem lässt es sich gut zusammenrollen und in der Diensthose verstauen. Würd ich jederzeit wiederkaufen.

Very good acoustics definitely recommend

Acquistato in un momento di sconto pagandolo 69 euro, adesso nel momento in cui scrivo Amazon lo sta dando a 94 euro, perciò con mio stupore mi rendo conto di aver fatto un acquisto qualità-prezzo eccezionale anche perché nel lavoro non avevo necessità di uno da 100+ euro. L'ho confrontato nell'auscultazione con un Littmann Master Cardiology di qualche anno e col tubo fissurato, ma perfettamente funzionante: ebbene (per quanto posso dire non essendo lontanamente un cardiologo), all'auscultazione cardiopolmonare di base questo stetoscopio è SOVRAPPONIBILE AD UN MASTER CARDIOLOGY LITTMAN (che se cercate costa 4+ volte di quanto io ho pagato questo e 3 volte del prezzo attuale). 5 stelle

Un buon fonendoscopio, ma non il top, risente dei rumori esterni buon rapporto prezzo/qualità

Super Stethoskop, was Qualitativ mit namenhaften Produkten mit hält, die etwas teurer sind. Es liegt angenehm in den Ohren und ist auch angenehm für den Patienten. Die besondere Form ist mal was neues aber man bekommt keine Ersatzmembranen von Drittanbietern. Pro: Gute Klangqualität, Angenehm in den Ohren, gute Verarbeitung, besonderes Design Contra: Die besondere Membranform bietet wenig verfügbaren Ersatz. 5/5 Klang 5/5 Verarbeitung 5/5 Preis/Leistung
