20100279262 | AUSCULTATION TRAINING SYSTEM AND RELATED METHODS - An auscultation training device that utilizes a medical training mannequin, a controller, and a database of auscultation training sound data to simulate and communicate the sounds of the human body to users; the invention is able to initiate the playback of prerecorded sounds via a variety of trigger mechanisms, and transmit live sounds, or combinations of sounds, to remote examiners. | 11-04-2010 |
20130196302 | AUSCULTATION TRAINING DEVICE AND RELATED METHODS - An auscultation system may include an auscultation device, a simulation unit, a speaker and a proximity sensor that detects the proximity of the auscultation device and emits a signal in response. The auscultation system may also include a database storing multiple sound files and a controller. The controller may receive the signal, select one of the sound files and transmit the selected sound file to the speaker in response to the signal. In one embodiment, the simulation unit is attached to a live subject. In another embodiment, the simulation unit is attached to a mannequin. | 08-01-2013 |
20130252219 | AUSCULTATION TRAINING APPARATUS AND METHOD - An auscultation apparatus may include a sensor sheet having a flexible sheet with sensors, a processor having sound files, and an auscultation device, such as a stethoscope. The sensor sheet may be applied to a living body-like structure. When a sensor activator is positioned near one of the sensors, a sound may be transmitted from one of the sound files to provide the sound to an operator. | 09-26-2013 |
20140087343 | AUSCULTATION TRAINING DEVICE AND RELATED METHODS - An auscultation system is disclosed herein. The auscultation system includes an auscultation device. The auscultation system also includes a proximity device operable to detect the proximity of the auscultation device. The proximity device can also emit a signal in response to detection of the auscultation device. The auscultation system also includes a first database storing a plurality of sound files. The auscultation system also includes a first controller operable to communicate with the proximity device and receive the signal. The first controller is also operable to select one of the sound files and transmit the selected sound file to the at least one speaker in response to receipt of the signal from the proximity device. | 03-27-2014 |
