Introduction
The Dr. Odin Aneroid Sphygmomanometer is a compact and reliable device designed to measure blood pressure levels. It comes with a soft cotton cuff, emulsoid bladder, and soft emulsoid bulb, an easy-to-carry leather bag, and is latex-free. This device is designed for adults only and is not suitable for children.
Directions for Use
To use the device, position the stethoscope head over the main artery, just beneath the cuff's artery mark. Continue pumping the bulb with the valve closed until the blood pressure is 30 mmHg higher than normal. Record faint rhythmic tapping or thumping sounds as systolic pressure and the disappearance of these sounds as diastolic pressure. Deflate the cuff gradually by opening the valve at a rate of 2-3 mmHg per second.
How it works
The device measures blood pressure by inflating the cuff to a certain pressure and then slowly deflating it while listening to the sounds through the stethoscope.
Quick Tips
Refrain from taking measurements if the user has worked out recently, has consumed alcohol or caffeine within the previous 30 minutes, or is stressed or talking. This may lead to incorrect measurements
