Patent ID: 8323031

Claim:
An auscultation training device, comprising: a medical training mannequin including a means for detecting relative position of an auscultation device relative to the mannequin; a controller in electronic communication with the means for detecting relative position, the controller adapted to receive location data from the means for detecting relative position, wherein the location data indicates the position of the auscultation training device relative to the medical training mannequin, the controller adapted to select and retrieve auscultation sound data from a database in electronic communication with the controller, wherein the auscultation sound data corresponds to the location data received from the means for detecting relative position; a sound generating device in electronic communication with the database and adapted to convert the auscultation sound data into acoustic wave signals; an auscultation device having at least one ear piece in acoustic communication with the sound generating device and adapted to transmit acoustic wave signals to a human ear; and a trigger mechanism in electronic communication with the controller, the trigger mechanism providing a signal to the controller to initiate the playback of a prerecorded sound when the trigger mechanism is activated, wherein the trigger mechanism comprises a detection device which is activated when the detection device senses a percussion impact.
