Recent Observational Studies Showed That Only A Shocking 4% Of Stethoscopes Are Cleaned To CDC Guidelines.¹

The stethoscope diaphragm carries the same volume and diversity of pathogens as the human hands.² Transmission of these pathogens could undermine the benefits of hand hygiene protocols.³ Conventional cleaning techniques reduce, but don't completely eliminate pathogens.⁴
The DiskCover™ System, our flagship product, is an evidence-based solution for the longstanding, unaddressed, and increasingly recognized threat of stethoscope contamination.

What people are saying
The stethoscope has come under scrutiny as a vector for infection, particularly with the emergence of COVID-19.
"Single-use stethoscope diaphragm covers prevent transmission of pathogenic bacteria."⁸
-Rajiv S. Vasudevan, et al.
The American Journal of Medicine
“We salute AseptiScope for tackling the longstanding gap in infection control posed by the current set of approaches to stethoscope hygiene.”⁹
-Alex D’Souza
Managing Editor of MedTech Outlook
“Stethoscope cleaning needs to be promoted as much as handwashing in the healthcare environment.”¹⁰
-Richard T. Ellison III, MD
New England Journal of Medicine Journal Watch
“For the first time, clinicians who wear gloves on their hands, goggles on their eyes, covers on their shoes, and gowns on their bodies will have a practical protective barrier for their most frequently used medical device, the stethoscope.”
-Kelly Powers
AseptiScope co-founder and Chief Operating Officer
"Fomites such as stethoscopes, clothing, and portable equipment may be underappreciated sources of pathogen transmission."¹¹
-Manish Thakur, et al.
Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology
"The stethoscope diaphragm carries the same volume and diversity of pathogens as the hand."²
- Yves Longtin, et al.
Mayo Clinic Proceedings
"Transmission of pathogens...by stethoscope could undermine the benefits of hand hygiene programs."³
-Ian Harold Jenkins, et al.
Journal of Hospital Medicine
"Poor Compliance in observational studies less than 4% of stethoscopes are cleaned between patients per CDC guidelines."¹
-David Boulée, et al.
Journal of Infection Control
"Cleaning has a variable effect contamination is reduced but not eliminated after cleaning."⁴
-Vincent R. Knecht, et al.
Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology
“…’community’ stethoscopes used by multiple individuals and sharing of stethoscopes should be avoided, … in order to prevent nosocomial spread and potential self- inoculation.”¹²
-Mark A. Marinella
Heart & Lung, The Journal of Cardiopulmonary and Acute Care
“Practitioner and patient room stethoscopes are colonized with nosocomial pathogens, and cleaning reduces but doesn’t always eliminate contamination.”¹⁰
-Richard T. Ellison III, MD
New England Journal of Medicine Journal Watch
"Aseptic single-use discover has a robust and effective stethoscope barrier, acoustically invisible, safe for patients and stethoscopes, and are easy to remove."¹³
