On potential effectiveness of integration of 3M Littmann 3200 electronic stethoscopes into the third-party diagnostic systems with auscultation signal processing

The paper deals with considering the possibility of integration of 3M Littmann 3200 electronic stethoscopes in future Telemedicine networks with a function of server processing and analysis of auscultation data. General features and operation parameters of the stethoscope are analyzed and its frequency response for various regimes of frequency filtration is obtained. The shortcomings lowering the potential effectiveness of the instrument in distributed systems for cardiovascular and respiratory diagnostics are determined.
