FAQ

How long a fully charged battery last?

Battery can provide 8+ hours of continuous usage. This means, in the real life, it can last for around a week depending on the extent and type of usage. Spanda goes in to sleep mode if no activities for 5 minutes or as per the setting. This enables Spanda to conserve the battery. For extending the battery life, this setting can be reduced.

How can I use Spanda with headphone or external speaker?

What type of speakers or headphones need to be used with Spanda?

Auscultation frequencies are very low, mainly in the range of 20 hz to 1200 hz. Thus you need speaker or headset with very good quality audio for low frequencies stretching right up to 20 hz. This is generally available in high end headset or speakers from reputed brands. It can be enhanced with extra Bass setting if that option is available.

Some time there is echo when we hear with external speakers, during live auscultation.

This is because if you are too close to auscultation point, the speaker sound can get re-routed back into the stethoscope. Thus, your speaker needs to be few meters away to ensure that sound doesn’t echo.
