How to Check the Authenticity of a Littmann Stethoscope? - 5 minutes read


We, Medguard, as one of the leading suppliers of world-class Littmann classic iii stethoscopes, have seen from our experience that among the majority of medical professionals, Littmann stethoscopes take the first place. Littmann's stethoscope has attached itself to the glory of a medical professional’s life. It is available in various types and colours with us. Because the stethoscope is a little costly, lots of duplicate models are available in this market sector today. We from Medguard caution you to be extremely cautious and protective and keep the below-mentioned points in mind while buying one as a medical professional or otherwise. 

Differentiating a Littmann Stethoscope from a Copy 

Purchasing a Littmann stethoscope needs extreme caution on the part of the buyer and should be purchased from a renowned place like Medguard. We say so because most sellers won’t help you find one accurately. So, it’s your responsibility to choose the authentic one and not get misguided in buying the fake one. We insist that you make a note of the points mentioned below to avoid getting cheated:     

  • The Price 

The cost of an original Littmann stethoscope is on the higher side, and you should be alarmed immediately if the seller offers you a huge discount while selling one. Check the original price on our website which ranges between 80-100 dollars.    

Check on the Seller

You should always check on the seller’s reputation before making a purchase. We, Medguard, assure you that we are one of the leading suppliers of Littmann stethoscopes and have a great reputation in the global market for selling the same.     

Check On the Serial Number

The chest piece of the original Littmann Stethoscope has a serial number engraved on it. The serial number is a letter followed by six digits. The position of the serial number varies for the 767x stethoscope (in the middle barrel).      

Check Box Cover

The original Littmann stethoscope comes with grand packaging with proper company seals along with a manual and extra earpiece inside it.  

Check on the Tubing and the Earpieces 

The Littmann stethoscope’s earpiece is very comfortable and comes with a recoiling feature. This feature ensures that the surrounding sounds from the environment are completely shut off for better hearing. If you find these hard and brittle, then it’s a fake one. The tubing in the original machine has dual colours and is quite flexible. Moreover, the tubing should also have shine and stiff lines in it. Check for all these and make a purchase.         

Check for the Chest Piece  

An original Littmann stethoscope carries a code written on the chest piece. You can check for the guarantee on the machine by putting this code on the company’s official website. Moreover, the diaphragm has a logo on it which again asserts that the product is an original one.    

Littmann Stethoscope Patent

We from Medguard suggest that you check the original design of the machine, which has two connected earpieces pressed against each other. The diaphragm moves with the entire stethoscope; you should check for all these while making an authentic purchase.     

Check on the Performance

A fake machine will have a gradual reduction in performance after you buy one. We suggest that you make detailed checks while making a purchase and follow all the criteria to the tee to avoid buying a fake item. 

Registration Option for Authentic Littmann’s Stethoscopes  

As the authentic Littmann’s Stethoscopes come with the registration option, you can do so by the serial number of the stethoscope. By registering, you can access the vital information related to the product, like the warranty and other latest updates.
