ADC 703-11ABK Diagnostix Model 703 Palm Style Aneroid Sphygmomanometer with Adcuff Nylon Blood Pressure Cuff, Adult, Black

Product very easy and great to use. Cuts down on extra cords in the way. I love it, so glad I spent a little extra money on it.

I am a hospice RN and I simple love how easy this device makes my job! I was so tired of fumbling with balancing the sphygmomanometer somewhere I could actually see the numbers. It is very accurate and I love it so much that I bought another one when I accidentally left mine at a pt home. I purposely bought the purple one the second time so it would stand out and I wouldn’t leave it sitting amongst my patient’s belongings. I highly recommend!!

Aparato cómodo y de inflado fácil

I read the other reviewers complaining about it being plastic and thought “hmm I don’t really care about that as long as it works” well, the plastic does feel very cheap. I mean surprisingly so. The trigger button the release the pressure in the cuff is plastic as well and rattles a bit. I mean it just feels so cheap that I really didn’t expect it to work. However, it does work. Although I’m wondering now for how long. Get it if you like the idea of a trigger release. But beware of build quality.

I like the concept of having the pump and gauge in one. Compared to traditional BP cuffs, this prevents problems such as obstruction of the gauge either by clothing or the cuff itself, possible injury if gauge is not attached securely (they’re pretty heavy), and is easier to place onto patients because the pump is detachable there is no weight imbalance to slide the cuff before it is fastened.The only thing I dislike is that it wobbles a bit when pumping but it’s not a huge issue. If the pump mechanism was a lever, rather than a bulb, it would resolve that issue and maybe feel more ergonomic

The only significant negative comment I saw in the reviews was about the hose connector being plastic, but it looks like the product is now updated with a chrome, knurled, spring-loaded quick-release coupler that is all metal on the gauge side and the hose side. The hose pops in easily, and pops off just as easily by pulling on the collar. The trigger is a LOT easier to modulate than the two traditional bulb valves I've used. Perhaps this is less important for a professional, but for an amateur like me taking a reading from someone with very "quiet" arteries, better equipment made all the difference between a white-knuckle experience for both the "doctor" and the patient, and an easy, quick, and comfortable one-time reading. Also helped immensely to ditch my cheap stethoscope (that works fine for "normal" patients and pros) for a good one.

I liked the fact it’s one unit and not have to fiddle with two tubings and a separate dial. However the tip that connects the tubing to the manometer broke. In fact it broke twice. They sent me another tip but that broke as well. I thought about purchasing another unit but not when it’s almost twice the price of what I paid for it before.

I carry this cuff with me in my old medic kit for any of those emergent situations that having a BP is handy. This should be the standard design for manual sphygmo’s. Easy to read and one handed operation. Great design and seems pretty sturdy for transport.
