Description
The Adscope 613 Teaching Stethoscope lets an instructor and a student listen to the same heartbeat at the same moment, through two headsets on one stainless chestpiece. That shared listen turns 'did you hear that murmur' from a guess into a guided, verifiable teaching moment.
- Dual clinical headsets – One black teaching headset and one royal blue student headset, color-coded so roles never get confused.
- 603-series chestpiece – The combination diaphragm and bell head is machined from surgical stainless steel, the same platform as the Adscope 603.
- AFD adult diaphragm – Adjustable frequency technology enhances response, so the subtler teaching points stay audible to both listeners.
- Lifetime warranty – All parts are covered for life, protecting an instrument that serves cohort after cohort.
Teach Auscultation by Listening Together
This teaching stethoscope mounts two clinical headsets on the proven 603-series combination chestpiece, so teacher and student hear identical sounds simultaneously. The ultra-sensitive diaphragm measures 1 7/8 inches, paired with an extra-large 1 3/8-inch bell for low-frequency response. Each headset carries stainless binaurals fixed at a 15-degree angle with a reinforcing yoke molded into the PVC tubing. Nursing programs, residency preceptors, and clinical educators get a shared reference point for every finding they describe. The instrument weighs 9.4 ounces and stretches 43 inches overall to span instructor, student, and patient comfortably.

Why Choose This Teaching Stethoscope
Auscultation is the hardest bedside skill to teach because the student and teacher normally hear different things at different times. Two headsets on one chestpiece end that gap: the instructor confirms the finding in the same instant the student hears it. Built on the stainless 603 platform with lifetime coverage, it is a program investment that pays off every cohort.
- Simultaneous listening – Both headsets share one chestpiece, so instruction lands on the exact sound being discussed.
- Color-coded headsets – Black for teacher and royal blue for student keeps sessions organized at a glance.
- Program-grade build – Stainless chestpiece and reinforced headsets stand up to daily academic use.
- Lifetime parts coverage – Every part is warranted for life for the original purchaser.
