Thursday, December 15, 2005 - Stethoscope from Bang & Olufsen Medicom wins Danish Design and Innovation Award (D.I.D)
In mid-December, the E3000 electronic stethoscope was announced the winner of the Danish Innovation and Design award (D.I.D) in Horsens, Denmark. The stethoscope was selected the winner from over 33 other Danish designs, including several designer chairs and a mobile phone headset.
The judges commented positively about the stethoscope, and praised the fact that it has a clear purpose, works well and is well designed.
The stethoscope was developed by Bang & Olufsen Medicom in partnership with 3M Health and is marketed globally under the 3M Littmann brand. It was nominated for its Ambient Noise Reduction (ANR) technology and its discrete slim line design.
Reduces ambient noise
The new Littmann Model 3000 represents a new generation of stethoscopes and is based on proprietary sensor technology developed by Medicom which can filter out noisy backgrounds. The patented technology known as Ambient Noise Reduction (ANR), has been proven to reduce ambient or background noise from busy environments by approximately 75 percent.
This noise reduction function allows physicians to focus more clearly on difficult-to-hear heart and lung body sounds and in turn helps them make a more precise diagnosis. In addition, the amplification of the heart and lung sounds is up to 18 times greater than the best acoustic stethoscope.
The E3000 electronic stethoscope was launched in Dallas Texas last month at the American Heart Association, many cardiologists there were very impressed with the stethoscope’s ability to filter out surrounding noise and allow them to focus more on the critical body sounds.
