Netmeds First Membership
Description
This Diamond Mercurial Blood Pressure Apparatus is a desktop model specifically designed for pediatric use, ensuring accurate cardiovascular monitoring for young patients. It is a conventional sphygmomanometer that relies on the auscultatory method, which involves a stethoscope for listening to arterial blood flow sounds. The apparatus is made from first-grade virgin materials for durability and contains 99.99% pure mercury for precision. It comes equipped with two cuff sizes to fit a full range of pediatric arm circumferences.
Pediatric and Child Cuffs: Includes two cuff sizes (Pediatric: 8 cm x 28 cm, Child: 11 cm x 43 cm) to ensure a proper fit for a range of arm sizes in children.
High-Contrast Display: The 0 to 300 mm of Hg scale features fine numbering and a durable, high-contrast background for clear visibility and readability.
Precision Control Valve: A special control valve allows for a perfect pressure drop, contributing to measurement accuracy.
Durable Construction: The body has a metallic paint finish, and exposed metal parts are plated to prevent corrosion, ensuring longevity.
Secure Cuff Fastening: The cuffs are equipped with extra-wide Velcro fasteners to provide an excellent grip and secure placement on the arm.
Q: Is this blood pressure apparatus suitable for all children?
A: This device is specifically designed for pediatric patients and includes two cuff sizes (Pediatric and Child) to cover a range of arm circumferences in children. However, it is always advisable to consult a pediatrician to ensure it is appropriate for a specific child's needs.
Q: What does 'mercurial apparatus' mean?
A: A mercurial apparatus, or sphygmomanometer, uses a column of mercury to measure blood pressure. This method is traditionally known for its accuracy. This device contains 99.99% pure mercury.
Q: Can this device be used at home by a non-professional?
A: This is a manual blood pressure monitor that requires the use of a stethoscope for the auscultation method. It is primarily intended for use by pediatricians, physicians, and general practitioners in clinical settings. Professional guidance is recommended for accurate measurement.
Q: What are the cuff sizes included?
A: The apparatus comes with two cuff sizes: a Pediatric cuff measuring 8 cm x 28 cm and a Child cuff measuring 11 cm x 43 cm, to fit a full range of pediatric arm circumferences.
Q: What is the measurement range and accuracy of this device?
A: The device has a measurement display range of 10 to 300 mm Hg with an accuracy of +/- 3mm Hg and a resolution of 2mm Hg.

Direction for Use/Dosage
It is recommended that this device be used by a trained healthcare professional.
Ensure the child is resting quietly for at least five minutes before measurement.
The child should be seated with their back supported, legs uncrossed, and their arm supported at heart level.
Select the appropriate cuff size; the bladder should encircle 80-100% of the arm's circumference.
Wrap the cuff snugly around the upper arm.
Close the valve on the bulb and inflate the cuff.
Slowly release the valve to deflate the cuff at a rate of 2-3 mmHg per second while listening with a stethoscope over the brachial artery.
The first sound heard is the systolic pressure, and the point where the sound disappears is the diastolic pressure.
