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 Review

As far as the product's quality, it seems to be first-rate from the meter to the bulb, including the cuff, hoses, carrying case, and instructions (the screwdriver and calibration control are especially great to have).That being said, I assumed this product came with a stethoscope. You CANNOT use a manual blood pressure cuff without a stethoscope! This is like buying a brand new Camaro with no wheels. I contacted the company (Paramed) and they quickly emailed me and were very kind. As I told…

My wife recently underwent shoulder surgery, after which her blood pressure spiked. We had to start monitoring it at home. We had an old Sprague Rappaport stethoscope and cuff with which we used to monitor our daughter's lungs (they had cystice fibrosis), but the bulb was useless after sitting for so long. After a fair amount of research, I chose your cuff.Your cuff is easy to use, even though the person using it (me) is not as practiced as he once was. But, your instructions are clear and…

The first time using this cuff the inflator bulb came off and continues to come off, so it had to be taped. The sphygmometer needed to be calibrated fairly quickly. The cuff actually adheres to itself fairly well; however, I will not order this particular cuff again.

This is great cheap buy for learning how to take a manual BP. But I work in EMS and would not work for in the field. That's my feedback.

The cuff clip broke off after a few uses and it is much more difficult to use. I would recommend buying a cuff of higher quality

7/25 UpdateLike others have said, I had some concerns about accuracy so I decided to calibrate the gauge to check for accuracy so I built a simple calibration stand to measure the pressure applied to the cuff in inches of water and compared that to what the supplied gauge was saying. I've attached the data and you can see the accuracy is about 1% which is outstanding and should put to rest any concerns of accuracy. This solidifies this as a definite buy for any purpose, including professional…

I liked the bright, shiny look of every component of the unit. This tool has obviously been designed by engineers experienced inthis type of product.

I followed the instructions but I still did not get the result it I expected. This is for nursing school so hopefully my lecture can help me with how to use it.

I really like the paramed aneroid blood pressure cuff, the only thing I dislike is that there is not an attachment to hang the gauge. Other than that it is a really great product!

I ordered this for nursing school & for the price — you can’t beat it! I love that it came with a little carrying case. No warranty information included.

It worked fine for one week, then the needle on the meter would stick at about 117 and wouldn't rise any higher while pumping up the cuff. It will stay frozen there until I deflate to less than that level. Luckily I have spare meters that still work else I'd return it. So far the bladder hasn't sprung a leak to I'll keep using it with the spare meter. Seems accurate.UPDATE (25 April 2022)The seller contacted me and said she was troubled by my review and would like to set things right, and she…

I recently purchased this because I got accepted into nursing school and they advised us we needed a manual one for labs. It took me forever to choose one and I finally decided to go with the one Paramed offered. The first one I ordered though seemed like someone had used it and returned it because it was not in well condition so I returned it and reordered another one. The second one that came in was MUCH better and in brand new condition. I did that because I wanted to make sure my equipment…

Works just like any other blood pressure cuff. Some are better than others but this one is good. I can easily read it while taking blood pressures.

Great for beginners to learn on! The cuff itself is a little smaller than most cuffs I have worked with and because of that it has a tendency to read higher. Other than that it is a great little practice one! Even has a clip on the gauge for easy reading! And the carrying case is very coinvent!

I received this cuff the same day and was thoroughly impressed with the quality, especially for the price I paid. I had ordered it and a dual tube stethoscope because my old automatic cuff had become wildly inaccurate. When using this new cuff my BP readings came much closer to being in the controlled range. When I was using the automatic cuff they were out of range most of the time. I had a Doctor appointment the next day and took my new manual cuff in to see if it was close to the Doctors…

IT was fairly cheap and it doesnt come with the stethoscope, but I knew that. However, it's cheaply made and I don't trust the accuracy. Pretty hard to work with but I guess its okay in a pinch.

I thought for the money this would be good, but having to pump and hold still etc wasn’t easy. If your doing your BP by yourself, get a battery/electric one. It’s much easier. I only used it once, so I don’t have a real opinion on accuracy.

It is easy to use. Its accuracy is good compared to the electronic device, they were matching. Does not require any battery or electricity so perfect to use anywhere. but learn first how to use it and have a statoscope as it is not included

I recently purchased this sphygmomanometer for my work. I had also bought a short time ago a digital wrist BP cuff which was giving me a lot of difficulty obtaining readings. Seemed to always get error. This led me to buying your cuff which I love. It's easy to put on with the D ring and fits well.I feel I was able to get accurate readings every time.I've been a nurse for 45 years. I'm retired but work prn because I enjoy it and the clients and my coworkers.There's nothing like the Aneroid BP…

Update: The company emailed me and sent me a new cuff, free of charge! I thought that was fantastic. The new cuff works perfectly. I think I just ended up with a defective one. I now do recommend buying from this company.Original review:The cuff is about 20 mmhg off even after calibrating it. The needle does not move until you're about 4 or 5 pumps in and even after getting it to zero out it still would not move until about 5 pumps in. I bought it for clinicals and it absolutely sucks and there
