The Adscope 618 is a professional stethoscope size optimized for pediatric patient applications. Its patient friendly Adimals design can help put the smallest patients at ease during the physical exam. Each Adscope is benched on a test fixture to ensure a reliable acoustic pathway. The Adscope 618, like many of our Adscopes employs AFD (Adjustable Frequency Design) technology. Altering the pressure applied to the chestpiece “tunes” the frequency – light pressure for lower frequencies, firmer pressure for higher frequencies. Perfecting the technique takes a bit of practice. The most common cause of reduced acoustic performance is poor seal at the ears. To ensure optimal performance, please note the following: Orient the headset with the eartips pointing FORWARD towards the bridge of the nose. (many first -time users wear the headset backward which greatly impedes acoustic transmission to the inner ear) Ensure you are using optimally sized eartips. The scope comes with two sizes. Small are mounted on the scope. A larger pair are also included. The eartips should be snug but comfortable. Spring tension: Is preset for the “average consumer” but you may need to increase or decrease tension to ensure a snug aural fit. Following these simple techniques should ensure optimal performance of your Adscope 618.

Does this stethoscope work for neonates?

Thank you for your question. Although the 618 Adimals is optimized for pediatric patients it will work on newborns as well.

hello. Is this stethascope good for all ages? Also is the white one white or clear? Thanks.

This is definitely a pediatric stethoscope, not all ages.I carry both a pediatric and normal/ adult stethoscope in my bag. My stethoscope is a pale pink not white or clear.

Does this item have a plasticy smell upon opening the package? (PVC often has a strong smell)

I really didnt notice any smell with mine.

But it's definitely well made and the faces are perfect for use around children

I bought this as a student nurse, so I can't comment too much on the quality of the sound. But it's definitely well made and the faces are perfect for use around children, no sharp bits and they're a hit with my flatmates! From what I can tell, this is as good quality as the stethoscopes I've used in the practice room so I'm very happy with it! The ear buds are also very comfortable, an important factor that people might forget.

Top tier tool for my work. Amazing with kids

Been with this since Feb 2023, saw a colleague with it. I was sceptical that being too fancy, it may not be great with heart sounds and murmurs. I tried it out and loved it. Sound was perfect. The faces became a much needed added incentive. Kids love it esp the panda face. Will totally recommend.

A good alternative to traditional stethoscopes for paediatric practitioners

Quality comparable with Littmann. Very lightweight. Kids love it.

very nice to the children

I must to learn it to heart murmur, earlier I used Littmann. When I suspected heart murmur with Adscope, and "checked" with Littmann, it was.

Dieses pädiatrische Stethoskop funktioniert einwandfrei und liefert klaren, präzisen Klang. Besonders schön ist das kindgerechte Design – die süßen Tiermotive kommen bei den kleinen Patienten super an und nehmen ihnen die Angst vor der Untersuchung. Eine tolle Kombination aus Funktionalität und kinderfreundlichem Design – absolut empfehlenswert!

I work with kids at a children's hospital and this stethoscope is great!! The kids love to look at it and it always brings a smile to their face, making assessments easier to complete, espcially on the "wild ones" LOL. The little pop on faces are adorable and stay in place. I clean it before and after each use with Clorox wipes. The bleach has had NO effect on the product. This stethoscope's sound quality is just as good as my Littman Cardiology I used when I cared for adults. The ear pieces are VERY comfortable and allow for great listening. Great buy, I get lots of comments and compliments on this at work. I am asked "where did you buy that" almost daily! A must have for anyone who works with kids. Great buy for the quality and the price! Thank you ADSCOPE!

Le hice este regalo a mi hija quien es pediatra residente, dice que sus pacientitos y sus internos se divierten mucho al ver el estetoscopio. En cuanto a la calidad del sonido dice que es muy buena y lo usa normalmente en sus consultas
