Do you need to use a stethoscope with this?

You do indeed. You have to have a stethoscope to hear the blood flow. When you hear it and then don't hear it gives you the systolic and diastolic. If you practice you can do it yourself but generally you have someone else take your bp.

Yes, it can be used without a mouthpiece, however the mouthpieces do make it a little easier to get air into the unit and make it more sanitary for sharing with others (if everyone uses their own mouthpiece).

Approximately 12 1/2 inches by 4 1/2 inches. It does not come with a stethoscope.

Mine came new in a standard medical box like other stethoscopes I have bought in the past. I use mine in ICU. I hope this helps.

Personally, I need chest breathing. This is for belly breathing, 'I' think. Hope that helps! P.S I WAS NOT impressed with the mouthpiece.

Yes, it requires the adapter, but it comes with the headset so you don't need to buy a seperate one.

No it does not make sounds. It is a solid piece of molded plastic. It is not like a professional stethoscope, but my grandson doesn''t seem to mind. He can still "save" lives and do "exams" with it.

It does not require one, but I would recommend it to get a fuller sound. Hope that helps

No. You must have a belt pack to use this. It doesn't have to be a Shure beltpack, but it needs to have the same design plug.

I, personally don't have a need for an insufflator, so my advice would be to contact the company that makes this, as they would have the answer for that. Contacting them would allow you to save alot of money by purchasing this brand and still get a great otoscope.

Yes this stethoscope is dual with bell and diaphragm. It also comes with extra covers for both.

Yes, this model suffers from severe "Stethoscope Effect" - very much noticeable whenever connected to your device and you're not playing any music - slightly noticeable while playing music.However the noise is very disturbing (even with your music on) when the cables move near your face or neck.The earphone comes with an adjustable 'cheap' tie that holds the right and left cables together but remember that you cannot move it beyond the microphone to make a tight fit of the cables under your chin to prevent dangling.

Hello Collin, Thanks for prompting us to update the description on the Amazon site. We rewrote and just posted more detailed instructions on efficient, practical, and expert use of the BATCLIP holster. You may be interested to hear that many of our resident users developed individual styles of holstering and unholstering their stethoscopes. Some were quite elegant, others a bit wild. Most used a variation of the same technique and for a while new users would come down to the e.r. when I was working for a personal lesson and a "license to wear." Please have a look at our updated Amazon description and let me know what you think. If you decide to make a video (how's that to turn it around?) we'd be happy to send you another BATCLIP (or shears) for your trouble. James Li MD (the inventor)

No, the size of the mouthpiece is fine without it, unless you experience any discomfort or difficulty playing.Also, I would recommend purchasing the synthetic Didge instead of the bamboo one. :)

A mechanic's stethoscope (a common auto shop item) can help you find the source of the noise quickly.

Not sure if it would be considered light weight technically. I had one previously but lost it and I got another one off Amazon because it is a great stethoscope and to me it is light weight . Carrying it around on your neck or pocket won't be an issue. Hope this helps!
