Abstract
At least one sound generator operatively coupleable to a corresponding at least one auscultatory sound-or-vibration sensor provides for generating a corresponding at least one sound signal that is applied to the corresponding at least one auscultatory sound-or-vibration sensor. For each sound generator and corresponding auscultatory sound-or-vibration sensor operatively coupled thereto, a communications interface provides for receiving a corresponding auscultatory sound signal from the corresponding auscultatory sound-or-vibration sensor, and at least one computer processor operatively coupled to the communications interface provides for either generating, or causing to be generated, an electronic audio signal that drives the sound generator, causing a corresponding at least one sound signal to be generated thereby, and at least one computer processor provides for analyzing the auscultatory sound signal from the corresponding auscultatory sound-or-vibration sensor responsive thereto for determining whether or not the corresponding at least one auscultatory sound-or-vibration sensor is functioning properly.
