Aneroid Sphygmomanometer From SantaMedical Review

When I was having my internship when I was in college, we were required to screen blood donors and one of the screening test included is to take their blood pressure. The laboratory has the mercury sphygmomanometer and and an aneroid sphygmomanometer. I remember some of the cuffs of the aneroid sphygmomanometer sometimes open when inflated  (because they're a bit old) so aside from being accurate, I think the cuffs' ability to stay closed is a second must in any sphygmomanometer.

I was given the chance to do a review of the SantaMedical Sphygmomanomter and since I have no stethoscope, I had to wait for my sister to try the SantaMedical Aneroid Sphygmomanometer.

The SantaMedical Aneroid Sphygmomanometer arrived in a blue box and includes the aneroid sphygmomanomter and a black carry pouch.

Here is a detailed description of the aneroid sphygmomanometer by SantaMedical:

Pocket style Adult aneroid Sphygmomanometer with black cuff and matching storage case. Manometer exceeds industry standards for accuracy. Nylon cuff helps prevent miscuffing. Specifications : Special Aluminium alloy manometer, Classic nylon cuff, 2-tube adult size PVC bladder, Standard PVC bulb, Large Air-release valve with spring,Taper end valve, Vinyl zipper bag.

Since my sister came in a few days ago, I had the chance to try the Aneroid Sphygmomanometer by SantaMedical.

The sphygmomanometer is accurate but it would take a couple of pumps first before the gauge starts to move. The cuffs' velcro snaps holds the cuffs closed even if I've inflated it already. The air release valve is easy to control so I can get an accurate blood pressure reading.

I like the black carrying case because it can be used as a storage and as a case to carry the aneroid sphygmomanometer on the go. I gave this to my sister since she's going to have her medical internship this May and for me, she would need this more than I do.
