Nice Standard BP Cuff + Cheap Stethoscope (Works)
I am a registered nurse so I have used my fair share of sphygmomanometers aka blood pressure cuffs and stethoscopes throughout my time.I wanted to purchase a set for home-usage. I think it is something that should always be kept at any household as you can never know what could happen and need a quick assessment. Overall, I am pleased with this product. Of course, you get what you pay for and there are definitly so much more that is better! However, I am here to write a review on this sole product.The blood pressure cuff is quite nice and you will need to first calibrate it using the little silver key that comes with it. The instructions are easy to follow and I had no trouble with it. I tried utilizing the cuff to read my own BP (blood pressure) and it was pretty accurate at 130s/80s, which is what I am usually sitting around at. As for the stethoscope, well I agree with everyone else in the other past reviews. It is VERY cheap!!! Please remember that you are purchasing a low-priced kit that will not have amazing technology built-in and will have some downsides. I did have trouble listening to my own BP pressure using the stethoscope so I had to use my other personal one. However, I dude use the Paramed stethoscope to listen to my own heart sounds and I did hear it just fine. Note that it is only a one-sided diaphragm scope and does NOT have a bell side to it.Overall, it is pretty decent for the price. Please do your research before committing to an item! For the price, it’s not bad at all. There are definitly better and sometimes you just have to spend a few more bucks to get it.

BP cuff is decent but stethoscope is terrible
Edit of previous review:While I still can’t say I love the BP cuff design, I can say that I love the customer service! After my previous review I was contacted by one of Paramed’s representatives and they replaced my faulty unit with a new unit. I hadn’t requested a replacement since I already owned a stethoscope and didn’t have a problem with the BP cuff besides the design of it so I was very impressed when their customer service reached out to me to remedy the problem.The new unit works very well and I would buy from Paramed again based off their customer service alone.For the price you pay this BP does the job although there are some annoyances that I’m not fond of. The dial isn’t permanently attached to the cuff and instead slides on the cuff with a clip in the back. This can get frustrating since the tubes connecting pump and dial get tangled and the dial occasionally flops off the cuff or whatever else it is connected to. For the cuff itself in order to get it on one needs to slide their arm into it instead of wrapping it around the arm. This can be personal preference but I don’t like this feature. As for the stethoscope, it’s TERRIBLE and would better be suited for a kid’s doctor play set. But, what can you expect for the cheap price. Over all opinion, BP cuff works but there’s annoyances; the stethoscope doesn’t work.

Manual Blood pressure Cuff by Paramed
I like this blood pressure tool because I believe its accurate. I have done allot of research on the Internet and they all say the electronic ones are not real accurate. They all read differently. This explains why when you go into for a physical the nurse uses one just like this. They no its accurate doing it the old fashioned way. This product works.Another reason I like this product its a good price.This device is not for very one. You have to be a good learner to figure out how to use it. It took me a while to learn it. You almost feel like giving up because you dont think it works because you are not using it right. But keep trying and you you figure it out and you will have the best accurate device out there to get a accurate reading.Here is some tips . The main problem I had was trying to find the brachial artery on your arm. What I do is stretch my arm out straight and clinch my fist. Then I put 2 fingers on my arm to find the artery and feel the pulse of the artery. Then I take a ink pen and mark it with a x. This is where you put the stethoscope onto. You have to find this artery or you wont get a reading. Find it first.Then you put the stethoscope halfway under the blood pressure cuff. This holds it in place. Then you let out the air cuff carefully . This will take you a while to learn how fast open let air out. Then listen too the first heart beat and the last heart beat. You are done.It will take several times to learn it.Its worth the effort to learn this. What a good product for the price. I would buy another one.
