Summary

Auscul-X a touch free digital stethoscope will permit physical distancing of healthcare providers while maintaining the ability to auscultate patients from a safe distance (over 10 feet away)

Detailed description

The Auscul-X System (AusculSciences Canada, Inc.), is novel, professional grade, touch free, multichannel, touch-free electronic stethoscope with disposable elements designed to protect HCPs from exposure to infection diseases by allowing them to auscultate patients from a safe distance (10 feet away). The sensors can stay in place and enable providers to listen on-demand to a patient's heart and lungs over an extended period of time. This practice of distancing in the workplace is a key CDC and PHAC recommendation to protect the frontline HCP from exposure risk to the highly contagious COVID- 19 virus and other communicable diseases. The Auscul-X not only has the potential to better protect HCPs from infection, but also eliminates the potential transmission of pathogens through the use of conventional stethoscopes. In addition, the Auscul-X allows multiple HCPs to listen to the patient's heart and lung sounds simultaneously
