This stethoscope was negative for Mercury (Hg), Lead (Pb), Arsenic (As) and Cadmium (Cd) when tested with an XRF instrument. This appears to be an older model (or perhaps a toy?) There is no brand or maker’s mark. All components were tested. I am hoping to be able to test more modern stethoscopes in the future, ideally different brands. There are currently three examples on this site.
