Customer Reviews
“ The use of the 16 channel STG systems for the analysis of acoustic information from the thorax offers a cost effective and very innovative approach to rapid non-invasive diagnostics of diseases of the chest.”
- National Institute of Health after reviewing the research proposal for diagnosis of CHF and Pneumonia.
"I am glad to see that others are thinking beyond the bounds of old models when so much technology has changed. I have a hard time believing that our current stethoscopes based on a more than one hundred year old design are really the best we can do."
- Handheld STG user, M.D.
"...Handheld Stethograph is an excellent medical tool that I use all the time with my patients. During the pre-anesthetic visits, I use the machine with my anesthesioligist, which allows us to hear and record the respiratory patterns and select the best anesthetic drugs to prevent respiratory complications and side effects during and after the surgery..."
- Handheld STG user, Enrique De La Mora Glasker M.D.

Thank you very much for your help and the good news is that we are the only college of pharmacy in the nation that is accredited for cardiology residency and will be using this product. Thanks again to you and to your team."
