Review on PARAMED Aneroid Sphygmomanometer – Manual Blood Pressure Cuff With Universal Cuff 8.7 - 16.5" And D-Ring – Carrying Case In The Kit – Pink – Stethoscope Not Included by Jorge Kehayas

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A sturdy No Nonesense Manual Blood Pressure Cuff/Sphygmomanometer

Product Quality Scale: 4Delivery arrived without any issues and the item and box were intact and in good condition. I was able to connect the gauge easily - it fit snugly and seems like the item is of good quality - tried using it a few times and pumped it up to 300mmHg and held it there for about 50 secs. to see if there are any leaks - everything is in great condition. I am planning to use it this weekend for a Geriatrics Exercises Certification Seminar and hope for it to hold out well with the rigors of using the BP cuff beyond just reading people's blood pressure as a manual BP cuff actually has a number of other uses in the medical field. I noticed a calibration key was also included but I did not see any part in the manual that would help be use it to calibrate the BP (in the future if needed), but everything is otherwise clean and very well-made, including it's compact pouch.Thank you very much ParaMed for giving us a good option for a manual sphygmomanometer.Update after the Geriatrics Seminar:The whole package easily fit in my wife's tote seminar bag. We were not able to use the BP as much as our previous weekend seminar but it turned out very handy when I started having palpitations and did not clear for quite a while after our circuit training/aerobic training lab work. The readings were about +5/-5 difference vs. digital BP monitor we were able to borrow when read with a good stethoscope. I was glad I had this on the ready.

Pros
  • Get reliable results: equipped with a prestige metal air needle valve with a smooth pressure relief regulation and a large, easily readable number dial. Clinically tested and approved
Cons
  • Inconsistent readings possible
