I think the STETHOSCOPE works quite well. I read some reviews that said otherwise. It turns out the long metal tubes which feed into your ear rotate and twist to the desired angle. { Hold it in front of you like you are going to put it on and simply twist each of the metal tubes about 45 degrees in the appropriate direction. This allows the black ear pieces to angle slightly away from you. Then gently bend the metal ribbon which holds the metal tubes together so that it exerts less pressure on your ear canals. THIS WILL INCREASE THE COMFORT AND PRACTICALITY OF THE SYSTEM A HUNDRED FOLD. } Your Welcome.

The SPHYGMOMANOMETER works well too.

The set is nice, and the sphymamanometer is very well crafted and works well, but the stethoscope is not that sensitive and it took a while to find the pulse.

This is the most relaible measuring device for accurate blood pressures that do not involve an invasive line. This device is going to be going to a place in Africa where the town only has 1 BP cuff so this will assist in getting accurate measurements to prevent inaccurate bloodpressures and unnecessary treatments. It is easy to use and has enough pieces to enable the user to hear the sounds with a custom fit.

I bought this before reading the reviews about it. Before it arrived I checked them and saw the posts about how the large end of the bell couldn't be heard out of. I almost returned it to Amazon because I was having the same problem until I realized you are SUPPOSED TO TURN THE BELL FROM ONE SIDE THE OTHER DEPENDING UPON WHICH SIDE YOU WANT TO USE. The smaller part is for pediatrics, the larger for adults.

So if you are nervous about ordering this product because of the issue of not being able to hear through the large part of the bell - DON'T WORRY - it works fine - you just have to spin it to the side you want.

This is a great package deal. The price is great for what you get. I am a Med. Student and didn't want to spend a lot of money for a solid product and I definately got it. I would recommend this product to anyone!!!!!

I just needed something to learn on, but for the money I don't think you can get ANY better!

My wife is a nurse and claims this cuff and stethoscope are of even better quality than where she works

This kit is nice, but I don't recommend it for professional use. Works great but you can't hear that well with the stethoscope.

The Stethoscope is absolute crap and not worth anyhting. Had to use the baby side of it to barely hear anyhting and couldn't even hear my own hearbeat through my shirt. Bought a real Stethoscope and its like going from wearing ear plugs to being able to hear. The Sphygmomanometer seems to work great.

The gauge ( sphygmomanometer ) didn't work at all, right out of the box. Instead of returning it to Amazon, as I should have, I made the mistake of returning it to Prestige for replacement. Three weeks later and I'm still waiting for a replacement. An email inquiry to them brought back a canned response that it's probably the mail. The guy never even looked up what happened to my return. Lousy company! Buy from one of the many other choices here at Amazon.
