Diamond Mercurial Blood Pressure Apparatus Deluxe-BPMR120

The Diamond Mercurial Blood Pressure Apparatus Deluxe-BPMR120 is a desktop sphygmomanometer designed for the auscultatory measurement of blood pressure. This instrument utilizes a mercury column for pressure indication, offering a display range from 10 to 300 mm Hg. The resolution of the mercury column is 2 mm Hg, and the device is calibrated for an accuracy of +/- 3 mm Hg for pressure readings.

Manual pressurization is achieved using an included rubber bulb, and deflation is controlled via a manual valve. The apparatus is constructed from virgin material, intended to provide durability and consistent performance over time. The mercury column features fine numbering against a high-contrast background to facilitate readability of measurements.

This blood pressure apparatus operates on the principle of auscultation, requiring the use of a stethoscope to detect Korotkoff sounds. The healthcare professional inflates the cuff to a pressure above the expected systolic pressure, then slowly deflates it using the control valve. The systolic pressure is recorded at the point where the first sounds are heard, and the diastolic pressure is recorded when the sounds disappear.

The included cuff measures 14.5 cm by 51 cm, designed to accommodate a range of arm circumferences. The cuff is secured with Velcro fastening for a stable fit during measurement.

The device incorporates a specialized control valve designed to regulate the rate of pressure release, contributing to the accuracy of the auscultatory method. The internal bladder and bulb are constructed from materials intended for durability. Exposed metal components are treated with anti-corrosion plating to enhance the longevity of the instrument.

This model is intended for use in clinical settings where precise blood pressure monitoring is required.

This instrument is utilized by medical professionals, including physicians, nurses, and other trained healthcare providers, in various healthcare environments. Its applications include routine blood pressure monitoring in general hospital wards, clinics, and private medical practices. The apparatus is suitable for assessing blood pressure in adult patients.

Proper handling is advised to maintain the integrity of the mercury column and the overall functionality of the device. It should not be used if the unit appears damaged or compromised.

Key features include the use of a mercury column for pressure measurement, a manual inflation and deflation system, and a cuff designed for secure application. The high-contrast display and fine numbering aim to improve the visibility of readings. The materials used in construction are selected for durability and performance in a clinical setting.

The device requires manual operation and interpretation of auscultatory sounds via a stethoscope, which is not included with this apparatus.
