2 Page 2 of 6 CNSA EQUIPMENT INVENTORY INFORMATION Required Equipment, must purchase through CNSA: Name Tag Badge and Holder: Four different colored badge holders are included, color coded for each semester (Red for 1 st, Yellow for 2 nd, Green for 3 rd, Blue for 4 th ). Purchase also includes your name and photo on a Sac State School of Nursing ID Badge to use in clinical experiences. Photos will be taken at orientation. Must be purchased through CNSA. Required Equipment, offered to purchase through CNSA: 3M Littmann Classic II S.E. Stethoscope: Has a dual-frequency, "tunable" diaphragm for listening to both low and high frequency sounds by alternating pressure on the chest piece. Firm pressure allows you to listen to high frequency sounds. Ease off to light "skin contact" and the diaphragm instantly switches to let you hear low frequency sounds (previously heard using the traditional bell). The bell side can be used for low frequency sounds and special procedures such as bruits, intercostal spaces and auscultation of smaller and bony patients. 3M Littmann Master Classic II Stethoscope: Traditional bell and diaphragm modes are incorporated into the single-sided "Master" chest piece. To hear low frequency sounds typically heard with a traditional bell side of a chest piece, simply use light contact on the skin. To hear high frequency sounds typically heard with a diaphragm side, apply firm pressure. No longer will you need to remove the chest piece from the patient and mechanically switch from a bell side to diaphragm side. You can switch from low to high frequency response instantly without interruption. Classic II SE: Master Classic II: NOTE: If purchasing a stethoscope, please only purchase either the 3M Littmann Classic II S.E. Stethoscope OR the 3M Littmann Master Classic II Stethoscope.
