Ambient Noise-Reducing Electronic Stethoscope Awarded International Design Prize
Bang & Olufsen Medicom, an innovative drug delivery device solutions provider for the pharmaceutical industry, has announced today another design award for the E3000 electronic stethoscope, which the company developed in partnership with 3M.

The iF Design award 2006 was bestowed on the E3000 electronic stethoscope, the second award for that product in one year.

The stethoscope has been singled out by two separate design awards for its sleek appearance and ambient noise-reducing sensor technology.

The E3000 electronic stethoscope has been co-developed and produced by Bang & Olufsen Medicom and 3M and is marketed under the 3MTM Littmann brand.

This is the fourth design award that has recognised projects involving both design and development contributions from Bang & Olufsen Medicom in the past year.

In December, the 3M Littmann stethoscope was presented the prestigious Danish Innovation and Design (D.I.D) Award at a ceremony in Horsens, Denmark.

The stethoscope is used by thousands of cardiologists and physicians worldwide.
