PrimaCare Medical Supplies DS-9196 Professional Classic Series XLarge Adult Size Manual Blood Pressure Kit, Long Lasting Latex Inflation System with D-Ring Cuff and Stethoscope, Navy, XLarge Adult

I love this BP cuff and stethoscope. I hear perfectly in the stethoscope and can read the gauge fine. Nice large numbers on the gauge..

This cuff is HUGE. big enough too take pressure on an adult thigh. Too big. I'll need too re order. Nice set.

I am very well pleased with this product. I would recommend this blood pressure cuff, aneroid sphygmomanometer with stethoscope to anyone. My physician wanted me to have my blood pressure taken on a daily basis for a couple of weeks because my blood pressure was elevated so I ordered this product and I'm glad I did. It is well worth the money and so far works just fine and I've had this product for over a month and use it almost daily.

You cannot measure your own blood pressure accurately using a manual sphygmomanometer. I know that there are videos of people doing this, but my experience is that your readings will be off significantly. You can buy whatever you want but this is what I discovered. I also have two wrist monitors and they are junk. Their readings also bear no relation to reality.I took this manual unit to the medical clinic to test it against the wall units they have there. When I measured myself, my readings were off 15 to 20 points on systolic and 10 points or more on diastolic compared to the wall units. The nurse then used my own manual unit tomeasure me. The readings were still higher than the wall units, but not as bad as when I tried to measure myself. This is a cheap setthat cost $17, so it will never be as accurate as an expensive wall unit.The sphygmomanometer and the stethoscope in this set all come in pieces and you have to assemble everything. It is hard to get the blue tubing over the nipples on the gauge and the inflation bulb. If you do not have strong hands, you can forget about getting these pieces assembled unless you have someone to help you.The stethoscope is low quality and you hear a lot of background noise.This set does come with a "storage case." However, after you assemble the meter and the scope, you will NOT get them back into that bag. It will fit them when they are brand new and still in pieces, but you risk damaging components if you attempt to cram everything back into the tiny bag after assembly. So, if you want a bag that actually fits both components as assembled you will have to BUY one. Naturally, this is something that the company must KNOW but they let you believe you are actually getting a storage case that will hold everything.So, I bit the bullet and spent $60 on an electronic Omron 786N. It seems to be accurate but I have not taken it to the clinic yet to test it against their wall units.I am keeping the manual sphygmomanometer in case we get hit by an EMP and the power goes out, but I cannot recommend this productto someone who wants to take their own blood pressure.

This product was new, worked well and shipped earlier than expected! The stethoscope had a loose ear piece and I was refunded in a timely manner and just reordered another one. The sphygomomanometer worked just great!!

This item was returned. The stethoscope was worthless. I couldn't even hear my heart with it. And, there was no pouch in the cuff for the stethoscope so the self-use feature was false. I had one for years that I could use myself and it had a pouch inside the cuff that held the stethoscope. I could feel the thumping and watched the dial but that's not accurate.

great value and quality.

I am beginning a Nursing program at a local college and am required to buy a steth and bp cuff (of course lol So, on a budget I got this set. I'll go into a bit of detail about it now..or you can skip to the ** for the gist.The Sphygmomanometer (I learned this word in class and I am proud of myself for it) is okay, but the stethoscope is not good quality. It isn't even decent quality. You can touch it anywhere and hear any movement you make on its surface...whether it be the polythene tube or the diaphragm at the base. When you hold it to hear an audible pulse, you will hear your hand moving slightly as you adjust and then as you attempt to remain motionless. Plus the ear pieces are too tight and uncomfortable in general (hard plastic covering).**Bottom line here is, you get what you pay for...it works, not great, but it works.** My advice, save up an extra 30-40 bucks and get better quality. Which I am doing now, I have no comparisons to go buy as of yet, but i think my review is fair.
