The Noble Anesthesia-Air Snor-Scope Plus™ Electronic Stethoscope is intended as a diagnostic aid in patient monitoring, diagnostics, and treatment under the same conditions that would otherwise require the use of an acoustic (non-clectronic) stethoscope. In addition, the Noble Anesthesia-Air Snor-Scope Plus Electronic Stethoscope is also intended for electronically amplifying sounds of evolving obstruction of the upper airway in patients without an endotracheal tube undergoing sedation or general anesthesia care professional. It is not intended to be used for diagnosis and treatment by unlicensed, untrained, or unqualified medical persons.

The Noble Anesthesia-Air Snor-Scope Plus™ Electronic Stethoscope System is a kit comprised of the following components: - Audio amplifier module and microphone - Plastic T-connector / diaphragm coupler assembly (airway adapter) - Single Plastic coupler (stethoscope adapter) - Stethoscope Head (standard mechanical acoustic) - Stethoscope (standard mechanical acoustic) - Wall charger (UL listed, medical grade) and eight (8) batteries (rechargeable) A shielded microphone and audio cable, with a 3.5mm plug, connects the microphone/coupler assembly to the amplifier module. The speaker volume may be adjusted on the audio amplifier module to allow comfortable listening levels of breathing sounds passing through the airway circuit for Anesthesia Physicians and Clinical Personnel. A standard stethoscope ear piece may also be used for private listening purposes, although it does not provide the same amplification as in electronic stethoscope mode. The Snor-Scope Plus T-connector is composed of a plastic diaphragm and connector cap which holds the diaphragm tightly in place. This T-connector serves as an attachment for either the manual stethoscope (without head) or to the electronic stethoscope microphone. The device is not sterile, is outside the surgical field, and is a single-use disposable accessory. A single plastic medical grade coupler may also be used as an interface between the Snor-Scope Plus microphone and standard stethoscope dual-diaphragm head for the same purpose that would otherwise require an acoustic (non-electronic) stethoscope. The Noble Anesthesia-Air Electronic Stethoscope provides 20 times greater signal amplitude than a standard acoustic stethoscope. The overall frequency response is 15 - 1500 Hertz. This stethoscope is a stand-alone unit, has no software, and operates using an analog audio system without introducing any signals or energy into the patient or anesthesia breathing circuit. The Amplifier Module is powered by rechargeable Nickel Cadmium Batteries which can be easily replaced. The charger consists of a medical grade UL listed wall adapter. The batteries and charger are of the overall packaged kit. The audio amplifier module controls charging which cannot be performed during use of the Noble Anesthesia-Air Snor-Scope Plus™ Electronic Stethoscope.
