There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The main drawbacks for me are several. The instrument is heavy and bulky. I want it off my neck when I'm done. Because it is bulky, it won't fit nicely in a pocket, like those sexy Littmans. The two tubes rub together and create a bit of noise, so one has to be fairly still when listening in order for there to be no artefact. Out of the box the SR feels like a pair of ice tongs and need to be adjusted. Though it came with several types of ear attachments, there was no soft option, so I opted for the big flat earpieces which made them the most comfortable.
I have compared the SR with other Littman models and personally find that the sound quality is at least comparable, if not better.
So, the good news is that I was hired one week after I graduated. I used my adequate SR with the intention of getting a sleeker brand. After my first few pay checks came I though about spending the 100-200 dollars on a "higher quality" brand, but then I realized that the SR was perfect for me.
Here's why: The SR is more like an old truck. It works great and does not cost all that much. Sure, it handles like an old truck, but who cares when your hauling wood. The super duper Littman model is no doubt a Ferrari in the world of stethoscopes. But for a new floor nurse, checking for basic heart, lung and bowel sounds there's no real need to drive a Ferrari.
What clinched it for me was the day I saw a fellow nurse come back from her weekend and first thing she announced, "Has any seen my Littman. I left it here and now it's gone." This elicited multiple stories about how other Littmans have been lost. "A doctor borrowed it and never gave it back." or "My dog chewed mine up." or "I left it in the nurses station one day and never saw it again." etc...
Now I leave my stethoscope at work, hanging off the back side the chart rack. Of course it has my name on it, but because it cost less than $20, I don’t worry about the scruples of others. People just don't covet these "cheapo" stethoscopes. If one were to steal it, and maybe I'm just tempting fate here, I'd just buy another.
My final thoughts are summed thusly: It's an inexpensive yet sturdy stethoscope that works great and is easily replaceable should anything happen to it. Sure its bulky, but it's not so bad that I can't put up with it. For some people this may prove to be a deal breaker, but if you're like me and opt for the most practical solutions, this stethoscope is a real steal.
I bought the Welch Allyn as I matriculated into medical school like every other eager student doctor, hoping to get the best "bang for my buck" so that I could hear and learn about all the different heart and lung sounds our patients exhibit. If you're in the same shoes now, read on!
The Welch Allyn was amazing, no doubt. But it also cost me (at that time) like 10x more than this Omron sprague. Maybe even 15x more (depending on what the price of the Omron Sprague is currently. I think I spent close to $150 on it when it was on sale. Wow. What the heck was I thinking? I'll tell you--I was (mistakenly) thinking that I couldn't learn the heart and lung sounds using a cheaper stethoscope.
Boy was I wrong. The Omron Sprague is impressive in that it auscultates very well and delivers quality heart and lung sounds. Yeah, the ear tips don't feel as comfortable or fit as well as the Harvey (but I'm also biased since my external ear/ear canals are pretty weirdly shaped, i.e. most OEM earphones from Apple, Samsung, etc. don't fit for me...) But aside from the fit, they sound nearly as great! I say nearly since you're not going to replicate the acoustics of a refined $150 medical tool, but you can come darn close.
Can you still appreciate the spectrum of systolic, diastolic, and pan systolic murmurs? Yes! The quality may be slightly lower, but seriously for ~$10 you can't beat this stethoscope. I even bought a second one!
Now if you're a nurse, PA, etc. I probably can't speak to your profession or needs--but I'd bet money on this stethoscope being more than you need. Seriously, you won't be disappointed with its performance.
Now as you may have guessed, I'm not going to specialize in family/pedi/internal medicine. Now if you want to become a master diagnostician or a cardio fellow one day I would still recommend getting this stethoscope then "upgrading" to either the Welch Allyn or one of the better Littmann models (I'd err on the side of the former).
