Commonly asked questions about stethoscope authenticity
-
What are potential warning signs I should look for when purchasing a Littmann stethoscope?
One warning sign is price. If you see a price that looks “too good to be true,” it probably is. Littmann stethoscopes are known for high performance with outstanding acoustics and as such, are seldom available at deep discounts. Also be leery of sellers with limited reviews, quantities, or selection on hand. One reliable way to be sure you're buying an authentic product? Look out for sellers with our Authorised Dealer badge.
-
If I accidentally buy a counterfeit Littmann stethoscope, is it still a working stethoscope?
Counterfeit products are not known for quality. Professionals trust Littmann stethoscopes for the acoustic performance that our authentic stethoscopes can deliver. A counterfeit version may or may not perform adequately when you first obtain it. Counterfeit stethoscopes may not hold up and may fail to help you identify important subtle sounds in your patients in the long-term.
-
Can I be confident of my purchase if the website sells other medical products?
Not necessarily. The only way to be completely sure is to purchase your stethoscope from a 3M Littmann Stethoscope Authorised Dealer. Shop from our list of authorised dealers here.
-
What’s the best way for me to be sure I’m buying an authentic Littmann stethoscope?

Alternatively, you can also look for authorised dealers in the locator map here to purchase offline or be directed to an authorised reseller near you. Authorised dealers and resellers offer a great selection, are knowledgeable, and will be able to help you find the right authentic Littmann stethoscope.

If I bought an authentic Littmann stethoscope from a non-authorised dealer, is my product still eligible for repairs at an authorised service center?
