A Classic design and superior acoustics make the Clinical Cardiology the finest in auditory diagnostics.

The deep bell is shaped for optimum sound detection and comes with a wide non-chill ring. Each Clinical Cardiology offers two sizes of soft eartips which deliver sounds accurately by protecting the user from outside noise while providing unsurpassed comfort. A convenient snap-on rim and diaphragm compliment the advanced design and ease of use of the Clinical Cardiology.

poor quality (2009-06-17)
Customer Review : 1
I recently bought this stethascope as a less expensive alternative to the Litman cardiology I had that finally broke after a good 4 years of use. Although it had the look and lumen thickness similar to the Litman, with fairly good diaphram, the bell side had terrible quality. Also it would try to twist on you while in the ears make it very uncomfortable. The last straw was when the eartip split after just 2 weeks of use. I have returned it to Amazon and ordered a duplicate of my original Litman Cardiology that I know is a great product. It'll be 150% more money, but well worth it.
great scope for the money (2009-03-31)

I hear much better with this scope than my old Ever Dixie. I can't warn people enough to stay away from the Ever Dixie brand. Fisher Price honestly makes considerably better working scopes. The Prestige is great though. Not too heavy, it has a dot so you know if you are using the diaphragm or bell, and most importantly, it works well! I'm still mastering getting Blood pressures (that is on me and not the scope I think), but I can hear lung sounds great. I recommend this scope.
not top of the line (2009-02-24)

This Prestige is a decent stethoscope with very good acoustics, but lacks one key feature compared to my old Tycos- the ear pieces do not rotate where they insert into the black tubing, therefore you cannot make minute adjustments for optimal ear comfort. Otherwise it is well worth the money.
prestige clinical cardiology stethoscope (2009-02-21)
Customer Review : 4
the clarity of sound is very good. I have a littman lightweight and couldn't hear minute sounds like lung sound but this prestige allows me to hear crackles, wheezes and heart murmurs clearly. Additional pediatric diaphram and bell add more function. Overall the value and clarity outshine the minor drawbacks.
One drawback is the stiff hose so your ear piece tend to shift in your ear as you move the other end to listen. I usually just move my head along. Another drawback is the weight and bulky size of the bell/diaphram. I don't use the bell much at all so I just unscrew it off (feature to change the diaphram/bell). Lastly there seems to be some plays (slight looseness) where the bell/diaphram connect with the hose.
Slightly Disappointed (2009-01-14)
Customer Review : 3
I bought this product based on the overwhelmingly positive reviews. The stethoscope, itself, is not bad. I work in an ambulance in a very busy system and use it dozens of times a day. Lung sounds are audible, but not as loud as my Littman (Classic II, not cardiology).
The rubber ring around the bell also keeps falling off, not sure why it does that, but very annoying to fumble with your stethoscope in front of a patient!
Overall, it is worth the money and I am happy with my purchase, I just wouldn't say it is the best stethoscope I have owned.
