SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Jan. 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- GlobalMed, an international provider of virtual health solutions, today announced its ClearSteth® software application as an immediate replacement to the 3M Littman® 3200 TeleSteth™ tele-auscultation software that was discontinued effective Jan. 1, 2020.

ClearSteth connects clinicians during a remote patient exam, transmitting real-time heart and lung sounds while maintaining the integrity of the entire soundwave curve to be heard, also allowing for the adjustment of frequency from bell to diaphragm for low- and high-end sound.

This technology enables the provider on the receiving end of the tele-consultation to hear the sounds in real-time with complete range, clarity and conciseness that would be missed if sent through a standard video call using the audio channel.

Telehealth providers that use Littman 3200 Stethoscopes, such as the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR), can continue to get the same TeleSteth benefits with ClearSteth as a stand-alone application. ClearSteth is included in GlobalMed's eNcounter® software platform; users simply need to download the application.

"ClearSteth software makes it possible to transmit heart and lung sounds to a primary or specialty provider with the same quality as if the patient were in the same room," said Neal Schoenbach, GlobalMed's Vice President of Business Development. "ClearSteth is compatible with Littman 3200 Stethoscopes and ensures providers receive a precise and accurate indication of the patient's health. It is also interoperable with many other digital stethoscopes on the market today, including the RNK PCP-USB stethoscope and ThinkLabs One."

ClearSteth will also automatically adapt to the available network bandwidth on either side of the connection, while still maintaining sound quality. Encrypted auscultations ensure that patient security and privacy are never at risk.

"We're proud that the CDCR and other long-time GlobalMed customers have entrusted us to support this crucial part of all virtual health consultations," said Joel E. Barthelemy, GlobalMed founder and CEO. "We are committed to supporting the provider community with continued tele-auscultation software capabilities so that high quality patient care continues uninterrupted."
