Specifications: |
A sphygmomanometer consists of an inflatable cuff, a measuring unit (the manometer), a tube to connect the two, and an inflation bulb, which is also connected by a tube to the cuff. The inflation bulb contains a one-way valve, to prevent inadvertent pressure leakage, with an adjustable screw valve so that the operator can lower the pressure in the system in a controlled manner. |
|
|
Manometer, aneroid gauge: |
|
|
An aneroid manometer is a mechanical gauge with a round dial and a needle that rotates to indicate pressure in mmHg. On the inside, a bellow and spring mechanism senses and transmits the blood pressure measurement to the dial. |
|
|
Diameter: 49mm |
|
|
Linear scale: graduated from 0-300mmHg, easy-to-read, maximum error throughout range ±3mmHg. |
|
|
Diaphragm membrane: can withstand overpressure of up to 600mmHg. |
|
|
- Connector to rubber tube: on the right-hand side, below the manometer. |
|
|
- Inflation bulb: for inflating and deflating the rubber-bag cuff. |
|
|
Mounted with a one-way valve, to prevent inadvertent pressure leakage, with an adjustable screw valve so that the operator can lower the pressure in the system in a controlled manner. |
|
|
- Cuff: Washable at 30°C, made of non-deformable material with velcro fastening to enable a tight adjustment around the arm. Inside the cuff is an inflatable airbag (bladder). |
|
|
The airbag (bladder) must be airtight. |
