Medicom’s Acoustic Heritage

We have over 15 years’ experience in developing unique sensor technology for medical and non-medical applications. This sensor technology forms the basis of electronic stethoscopes used by physicians today.

The application of high performance sensor technology into electronic stethoscopes for 3M™ is a strong example of how we can develop and apply technologies for a range of purposes. Today the physician does not miss the sounds he needs to hear, thanks to B&O Medicom patented ambient noise reduction (ANR) sensor technology.

We are proud to be associated with 3M Health Care in the development of their 3M™ Littmann® stethoscope range, in particular the E3000 and E4100 electronic stethoscopes.

Acoustic Sensor Expertise

Ambient Noise Reduction (ANR) technology is a Medicom proprietary sensor technology which dramatically reduces noise at the pick up site (75% of ambient noise is filtered out) and allows for focused amplifications of heart and lung sounds in noisy environments.

This technology is flexible in shape and size and can be custom designed for clients. The same technology can be converted for use within other applications. If you are interested in knowing more about the technology please click here.
