I have used this product in the pre-hospital field. This is a much better product than the traditional sphygmomanometers because there isn't a whole lot of tubing with this cuff. In the traditional cuffs, there is a lot of peripheral noise with tube rubbing especially when you are in a moving vehicle trying to treat a patient. This is even excellent for an office setting. Rubber tubing will have wear over time. If you eliminate most of it, all you will need to think about is having your cuff calibrated once and a while especially if the needle gauge is not lined up to the 6 o'clock position when deflated.

I am a volunteer fireman and a EMT specialist, I carry a jump kit in my personel car at all times. The temperature extreams are murder on equipment like BP cuffs. I bought this cuff as a replacement for a cuff gone bad. Its lighter than I had expected and I like the way its put together, only one tube on the cuff, and appears to be robust enought to handle the temperature extremes it will face, only time will tell. The gauge is easy to read and looks to be able to handle the life of vibration in a moving vehicle, again only time will tell. So far i am happy with the cuff and if problems develop down the road (no pun intended)I will post what they are so everyone will know of its shortcommings. Sofar I beliveve this to be a great cuff for use in the field setting. I would recommend this cuff for ems field work or your own personal firstaid kit.

Love this cuff! Everything you want in a cuff; accurate, light weight, easy to clean, & easy to use.
