 It takes your blood pressure just fine. 2010-03-03 |
| By Travis Dobry (PA) |
I don't have any back ground to accurately rate this. However, My wife for whom I bought it for seems to think it works fine. She is currently a nursing student. We need to get the middle of the road Sphygmomanometer, so it seems this is working just fine. She can take blood pressure with it.

 Quality 2010-01-24 |
| By V. Minerva |
| I am very pleased with the workmanship and materials used to create this sphygmomanometer and cuff which was assembled, inspected and packaged in the USA. You get a one year warranty on all parts and a lifetime manometer calibration warranty. There seems little reason to buy a cheaper, lower quality product that you will have to have calibrated in a a few months or just plain replace. Invest a little more money in a quality product that will last. ADC doesn't lie when it describes the Diagnostix as "...designed to provide unrivaled durability and unparalleled comfort." The cuff is clearly marked with index and range which makes it very easy to determine proper cuff size. All of the markings on the gauge glow in the dark making it easy to read in low light situations. I highly recommend the Diagnostix Pocket Aneroid. |
| Use an Aneroid (Non-Electronic) bp Gauge for Accuracy 2010-01-23 |
| By TQSA (El Prado NM USA) |
I was a paramedic for many years and I monitor my own blood pressure. I am also a "techie", very comfortable with electronic devices. But I know that an aneroid ("mechanical") sphygmomanometer is less prone to error than the digital kind and likely to remain so. If you have good ears, know how to measure blood pressure, and will be using one device for several years, aneroid is the best choice.
That said, quality and ease of use is still important. The ADC DIAGNOSTIX I just bought seems to have the quality (and accuracy) I wanted, and is a good instrument. The discount off list price that I received by buying it from a vendor on the Amazon Marketplace (MedexSupply) made it an excellent choice, and the response and delivery time was outstanding. |
| Sharing My Own Learning Experience 2010-01-19 |
| By Redmund K. Sum (Los Altos, CA USA) |
I talked to a doctor friend before purchasing a blood pressure measuring device. His confirming that a "manual" device like this one is more accurate than the electronic ones that promise ease of use but often are inaccurate, and his assurance that it was not "rocket science" to learn how to do it with a stethoscope, convinced me to invest in this device.
The device is actually pretty easy to use once you get the hang of it. There are several things to keep in mind. Knowing them will reduce your frustration in the learning process. If you are a medical professional, you need to read no further.
The first is that you need to buy a good stethoscope (it does not need to be expensive; I bought the Omron model recommended on this page. I found it to be too short and rigid, but the acoustics are reasonably good. One out of the three pairs of ear buds (the clear ones) was soft and comfortable) as the success and confidence depend largely on your ability to audibly recognize the distinctive pounding sounds in synchrony with the pulses of blood flow.
The second thing is to understand the principle of taking blood pressure. I am not a physician, so I am just describing it in layman's terms. The whole idea is to pressurize the cuff gradually to block the blood flow and then slowly reduce the pressure until blood flow resumes. At the point when the resumption is strong enough to create a turbulent flow which is accompanied by a series of pounding sound, the pressure reading of that first pounding sound is the systolic pressure. When the pounding sound is no longer heard (about 4 to 5 sounds after the first one), the pressure reading is that of the diastolic pressure.
Procedurally, you do this by securing the cuff on the upper arm of the patient, making sure that the patient's position and posture is correct and the artery mark on the cuff is near the center of the arm at rest on a table, slightly to the thumb side. Put on the stethoscope and put the sensing cup at the inside bend of the elbow, again, slightly to the thumb side, over the brachial artery. Hold the cup in place with a slight and steady pressure. To optimize the acoustics, you should not let the tubes of the stethoscope touch anything while using it, as the touching and moving will generate interfering noise. Don't be frustrated because you cannot hear any pulse as you position the sensing cup, as you are not suppose to hear them yet - not until you start the measuring process.
Now you are ready to start, but I would like to prepare you for two things before you actually start. You are to pressurize the cuff by pumping, but you must first twist the screw knob to shut the release value so pressure can build. DO NOT TWIST TOO TIGHT, as you will need to release in a controlled manner later. Twisting it very tight will make it very difficult to achieve the desired release. The other thing is to make sure that before you start pumping, you must know when to stop lest you apply too much pressure on the artery. If you expect the patient to be about normal blood pressure, you should stop pumping when the meter reads 180 - 190 mmHg.
Turn off the radio and the TV. Now you are really ready. Hold the rubber bulb in your palm with your index finger and thumb controlling the screw knob, make sure you can see the pressure meter clearly. Twist the knob clockwise to shut the value (not to tight now!). Start pumping until the needle goes up to 180 (mmHg), stop, and twist the screw knob counterclockwise to open it slightly - so that the needle falls steadily at about 2 to 3 mmHg per second. Listen carefully, you will hear no sound (except some noise) initially, but at some point you WILL hear the onset of the pounding sounds. At first, you might miss the first one, but be confirmed as you hear the second and third one. With a little practice, you will be able to catch the first sound every time. Watch the meter carefully and note the readings at the first sound and when the sounds disappear. At this point, turn the screw knob counterclockwise further to release all the pressure.
Catching the first sound is a little tricky in that as you observe the fall of the needle, you will see that the needle starts to "jerk" slightly, but you still don't hear any sound, and you start to wonder. But that is normal, as the blood starts to flow again initially, the flow is very weak and the needle registers the pressure change, but the pounding sound (Korotkoff sound) that we are looking for does not come until cuff pressure is sufficiently reduced so the flow is turbulent. It is this condition that we want to associate with the systolic pressure.
Hope this helps.

| Simple to use; Decent quality; Requires separate stethoscope 2010-01-14 |
| By M. Fernandes (USA) |
| I use this for home blood pressure testing. It does its job very well, fairly easily on my own, and I trust my detection of Korotkoff sounds over electronic types. I bought a stethoscope separately on Amazon. |
