      This sold me on buying a procardial titanium that was on sale because of the burnished bronze color of the metal. I don't love the look of it, but I saved a lot w that color and am in school. If I don't love it- I can switch to a different cardiology stethoscope down the line

    I have a Littmann Lightweight in Ceil Blue and love how lightweight it is. I have no issues hearing out of it. The curve of the bell/diaphragm is nice for BP’s too. The MDF one is super pretty but I have a feeling it would show wear.

    Hi Aimee! We're late to see your video, but enjoy hearing your feedback of our MDF Acoustica Stethoscope! We wanted to make sure you got your stethoscope taken care of! Our Lifetime Warranty does not officially cover surface stains on the tubing but we would love to see how we can replace it for you. Our Lifetime Warranty does cover stiffened tubing, and other defects effecting the operational quality of the stethoscope. Hope to hear from you soon!

      I have used MDF since the beginning of my residency. Absolutely loved it and it’s loud enough for me. But right now I have a stiffened tubing and a replacement I got was too loose so much that I lost my bell. I’m so much pained but I need a new one.
      Please can you assist me?

    • @BreatheEasyRRT
      @BreatheEasyRRT  3 роки тому +2

      You can change them out like any other stethoscope but they don't screw on and off. You just pop them on. I've never lost and earned on a stethoscope so perhaps it is a design issue with prestige?

    When do you suggest for buying a stethoscope for your program? Right before you start or after like the 1st day? Someone told me before, to save money.

    • @BreatheEasyRRT
      @BreatheEasyRRT  5 років тому +4

      Depends on your program. If you'll be using it the first day then go ahead and get one but check with your school, they may provide one also. If you want to save money and they don't require it immediately then you can wait until you are going to use it.

    Sinc you mentioned that you could not heart sounds too well with the littmann, there was no manufacture number on the head, and the price that you paid was too cheap, I would say that the littmann stethoscope that you have is fake. It doesn't seem like you have an original littmann because all original littmanns supposed to have a manufacturing or model number etc. on the head and the diaphragm cover should be more clear and the cheapest price that i have seen is about $75-$80 bucks and thats with a discount. This is just a few of the ways that you can tell if a littmann stethoscope is fake.
