Riester Launches the Latest Stethoscope at Medicall 2014

MUMBAI, August 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

Riester introduced the latest stethoscope in the Indian market at the Medicall 2014 show. The 12^th Medicall Expo was held in Chennai from Aug 1-3. Medicall is India's premier hospital needs and equipment exposition and the biggest of its kind in India.

Medicall brings the latest, appropriate and affordable technologies for the benefit of all hospitals including smaller hospitals, clinics, nursing homes and physicians setting up group practice. The annual conference saw over 10,000 doctors, medical professionals and related people attending the conference and expo.

Riester's new stethoscope with constructed cardiophon 2.0 and duplex® 2.0 assign nothing less than a quantum leap in the quality of acoustics. Auscultation (listening to the internal sounds of the body) is significantly disturbed by interfering side noise. Therefore, during the construction phase of the cardiophon 2.0 and the duplex® 2.0, special attention has been paid to the design of the binaural and the ear-tips. The contact pressure of the binaural can be adjusted individually; the ear-tips are pivotable and made of extra-soft material. Altogether the ear canal is perfectly sealed against external side noise. In addition, disturbing noise due to the friction between the ear-tips and the ear will be avoided, even if the stethoscope is moving.

Riester stethoscopes are manufactured to an uncompromisingly high quality standard. The production of the binaural for example is automated. This guarantees a perfect production of the binaural at the ear. The chest-pieces are manufactured using latest CNC-technology to minimize any tolerances - a precondition, which allowed the novel sound pick-up system of cardiophon 2.0 and duplex® 2.0. The continuously high level of quality is guaranteed by multiple quality checks under our 1SO:9001 quality management along with the trademark German art of precision.

For such a regular but key diagnostic tool, the technology and clarity of Riester's stethoscope got the attention of key opinion leaders in the medical industry of South India. Riester's presence at Medicall through their channel partner 'Naik Meditech' saw the exhibition booth being visited by key doctors and professionals from Apollo, SRM TVS group, Manipal GKNM, and many other prestigious groups in the four southern states of India.
