Santamedical Adult Deluxe Aneroid Sphygmomanometer - Professional Blood Pressure Monitor with Adult Black Cuff and Carrying case (Light Black)

Granddaughter is in Nursing School and she loves this. Easy to read and works great.

Is good product for your work

This blood pressure cuff is durable nice but the only thing about it is it is for an adult but for an adult with a small arm. And with that being said, it could be used in older children, If I would’ve known that, I would’ve bought a larger cuff for work.

I am a PA and I take my own BP instead of letting the MAs do it. Purchased this based off from the reviews and ratings. I had just bought this and barely used it until recently. I had several patients with extremely low BP readings and it didn't make sense that they're on stimulants and hypotensive. I brought it to my supervising doctor's attention who diagnosed my BP cuff as having a defect with the bladder. He took my BP cuff out and showed me the bladder and switched it with his which then made the BP worked. Cannot believe I could've misdiagnosed patients!!! Luckily I take my own BP. If it was an MA or extern student, they would've recorded their readings which were inaccurate. Highly disappointed in this product!!!!UPDATED REVIEW AS OF 6/27/2019:This was purchased on June 3rd 2019, and I have been using this daily since. The material is standard, but holds up for the most part. However, I am not sure if the bladder will continue to work properly but time will tell. The bladder popped out through the seams already and looks flimsy to withstand a quick BP check. I do like the actual reading. I have purchased in this past, and had a defective piece back in 2016 and left a review but was never contacted. At the time, the cuff kept giving false low readings. This has improved with this purchase. However, the main design of this current model I absolutely do not like or care for is the metal loop in which patients would have to loop their arm through. Even if you pull it apart, it takes a few snagging to get the cuff to go through and wrap around the arm. I am a physician assistant and I work two jobs, and see over 30-50 patients a day. We move very quickly in our office due to patients' satisfaction on wait time and we will only do manual blood pressure readings for accuracy. This model slows me down tremendously compared to a regular cuff that uses velcro I pull off quickly or wrap on quickly. Even if you are able to pull the cuff through the metal loop, if you are not careful enough, the cuff gets trapped and snags downward. Several times I had to pull my old ADC cuff out to use instead of this brand new Santa Medical cuff. I would suggest redesigning this feature better suited for a fast pace setting.I decided to re-post an updated review due to incentive for a free stethoscope. They have a note that says they randomly select customers to leave feedback. And this time, the customer service was prompt and did respond within 3 days as they indicated. I also have not had the bladder broke on me yet. And so, for these reasons, I raised the star from 2/5 up to a 4/5.

Is it mean to say the most pleasant part of my experience with this cuff was returning it? (I haven’t done enough Amazon returns to get used to how quick and painless it is. Kudos!)The product arrived as described, apparently in excellent condition, and I figured my initial difficulties were simply caused by my lack of experience taking manual readings. But the more I experimented, read, and YouTube-surfed, the more I came to realize that the thing was simply defective.The first hurdle was the fact that the cuff was deflating through the bulb’s intake valve. (Not the release valve - that was firmly-but-not-too-firmly tightened all the way clockwise.) This made it impossible to fully inflate the cuff, let alone take a reading. Eventually, I found an alternative to covering the hole with my thumb: by holding the bulb so the intake valve was pointing straight downward, I could build up enough pressure to eventually inflate the cuff.That was when I hit the second hurdle: controlling the deflation. The cuff was still losing air by a good 5-8 mmHg per second with the release valve shut. To make matters worse, whenever the needle got to about 160 mmHg, it suddenly “jumped” downward to about 140 (with an audible hiss from the bulb), no matter whether the release valve was open or shut. Good luck to me if my systolic was ever in that range!Eventually I decided I wasn’t the problem...the sphygmomanometer was. Which brings me to returning it - a delightfully easy process that will culminate in me using the refund to buy another product, hopefully with better luck.

Standard manual BP cuff, got this to use for my clinical and lab for nursing school. Extremely easy to read and very reliable. Comfortable fit for adults. Great quality overall happy with this purchase.

Bought this product to replace my old one that finally gave up the ghost. This monitor is comfort, easy to use and read. Fits well and reliable. Is not appropriate for large arms.

UPDATE 11-5-24: The company reached out and evidently there is a 1 year warranty on the product so they are replacing the cuff at no charge. Good customer service and it is appreciated.I bought this for my daughter starting nursing school in August. She hasn’t needed it until now (Nov 1) for clinicals. Trying it tonight the glass piece fell off and isn’t working. The return window has closed. This one was a dud.
