I work in the medical field in addition to my After5PC.net business, and although the facility that I work in provides an automatic blood pressure machine for readings, it is always good to carry a manual blood pressure monitor. This is where the SantaMedical SP-110 Adult Deluxe Aneroid Sphygmomanometer comes in handy (shown below).
Once unboxed, you should find the following contents:
– instruction manual
– vinyl zipper bag for storage
– nylon cuff with manometer and standard bulb
The cuff is made of nylon and sized for adults. The range is captured in the photo below. The velcro is pretty strong, but I assume that will diminish in time with continued use. I hope it can hold up for many years though.
The purchase also comes with a zippered vinyl bag, which helps with storage and organization of the sphygmomanometer. It fits in my nursing backpack without problem.
If you are on the market for a manual blood pressure monitor, consider the SantaMedical SP-110 Adult Deluxe Aneroid Sphygmomanometer. It is currently available on Amazon at a 58 percent discount at the time of this writing. Go check it out!
Don’t forget, you’ll still need a stethoscope to use this! It’s not included.
The only question I have is why a stethoscope wasn’t either included with the product or recommended as a supplement upon either purchase or enclosed instruction. It is assumed as a given though the aforementioned inexperience obviated that requirement. The instructions also were vague regarding the stethoscope monitoring first the advent of pulse as the upper reading and the cessation of pulse upon release of the valve. Google was far more helpfully detailed than the enclosed product instructions.
Stethoscope is now on order, and armed with google instruction, I’ll be better prepared for fully optimizing the SP-110. On the plus side in the sole criticism of the instructions: I only found one grammatical error. Again, more detailed pressure reading instruction is the only criticism of this deservedly positively reviewed product.
Stethoscopes are not generally included. In fact, when you purchase at a brick and mortar store, they are often sold separately.
