This is a Manual Aneroid Blood Pressure Monitor designed for healthcare professionals, students, and experienced home users. This listing is for the Monitor Unit only (Manometer, Cuff, and Bulb); it does not include a stethoscope. It is the perfect replacement or upgrade for those who already own a high-quality stethoscope and need a reliable, battery-free inflation system.
Key Features
- High-Precision Manometer: Features a certified 300 mmHg no-stop pin gauge. The high-contrast black-on-white dial ensures easy reading even in low-light clinical settings.
- Professional Grade Nylon Cuff: Made from heavy-duty, wear-resistant nylon with a premium hook-and-loop (Velcro) fastener for a secure fit and long-lasting durability.
- Smooth Inflation System: Equipped with a large, ergonomic rubber bulb and a chrome-plated brass air release valve for precise, controlled deflation.
- Universal Calibration: The gauge features a sturdy metal clip, allowing it to be easily attached to the cuff for one-handed viewing during measurement.
- Latex-Free Components: Safe for users with latex sensitivities; the tubes and bulb are made from high-quality synthetic materials.

Why Choose a Manual Monitor?
- No Batteries Required: Always ready for use, making it ideal for emergency kits or areas without power access.
- Clinically Reliable: Unlike digital monitors, manual gauges are not affected by irregular heartbeats or slight body movements.
- Professional Choice: Manual monitors allow the practitioner to hear the Korotkoff sounds directly, which is often considered more accurate for diagnosis.
Quick Setup Guide
- Attach Gauge: Slide the metal clip on the back of the gauge onto the holder tab on the cuff.
- Positioning: Wrap the cuff around the upper arm. Ensure the Artery Mark on the cuff is aligned with the brachial artery (usually on the inner side of the arm).
- Prepare Stethoscope: Place your existing stethoscope's chest-piece firmly under the edge of the cuff where the artery is felt.
- Inflate: Close the valve tightly and pump the bulb until the needle reaches approximately 180 mmHg.
- Listen: Slowly open the valve to deflate and listen for the first and last heartbeat sounds to determine your pressure.
Care & Storage
- Zeroing: Periodically check that the needle sits exactly on the "0" mark when the cuff is fully deflated.
- Cleaning: Wipe the nylon cuff with a damp cloth. Do not machine wash or submerge the gauge in water.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid keeping the unit in a tightly compressed state to preserve the integrity of the air tubes.
Note: Since this unit does not include a stethoscope, you will need one to hear the pulse sounds and obtain an accurate blood pressure reading.
