espite amazing advances in medical instrumentation,
the basic aneroid sphygmomanometer has
remained virtually unchanged since its invention.
Until now.......
ADC
®
, a world leader in diagnostic products, has completely
reinvented the aneroid to produce an instrument that
combines precision crafted performance, rugged durability,
and incredible ergonomics. The digital e-sphyg
TM
.
Don’t confuse the digital e-sphyg
TM
with the electronic home
blood pressure monitors sold for over 2 decades.
The Digital Aneroid is completely new.
We’ve taken the basic professional aneroid - a mainstay of the
healthcare profession - and simply gone digital.
We’ve replaced the diaphragm, gears, springs, and linkages -
the very components that make an aneroid vulnerable to
shock, vibration, over-inflation and wear - and replaced them
with electronic pressure sensors, IC chips and a backlit extra
large, easy to read, liquid crystal digital display.
The result?
• An instrument that is shock resistant to a
whopping 60 inches.
• An instrument that is as easy to read in daylight
as it is in a darkened room.
• An instrument that displays deflation rate to
promote more accurate measurements.
• An instrument that is so efficient it gets up to
1500 cycles on two “AAA” batteries.
• An instrument that provides two battery strength
warnings - advance and urgent to ensure you
never lose power at an inopportune time.
• An instrument that doesn’t require special cuffs.
In fact, it will work with virtually every major
brand of blood pressure cuff on the market
(though we don’t know why you wouldn’t use
the ADCUFF
TM
).
• An instrument with a “systolic assist”
TM
that
will alert you about 20mmHg before the onset
of Korotkoff sounds.
• A pulse monitor that will display pulse rate
once measurement is complet
e.
• An instrument that will remind you to check
calibration once per year or every 1
0,000 cycles,
whichever comes first.
•
An instrument that will turn itself off to
conserve battery strength
The Multifunction Display
The 1.5” square LCD contains 5 distinct segments.
• At the top, and the largest, is the cuff pressure indicator.
The digits are a whopping 7/8” tall. Compare that to the
1/16” graduation marks you’re forced to read on
traditional aneroids.
• Beneath that, and to the right,
deflation rate is displayed to
promote correct measurement procedures.
• A battery power warning symbol
• A check calibration symbol
completes the display.
• A flashing heart symbol begins “beating” approximately
20mmHg before the onset of Korotkoff sounds.
Automatic Backlight
Instead of forcing you to fumble for a backlight switch, the
Digital Aneroid has an automatic backlight. You’ll be able to
read the display in daylight or a darkened room. To conserve
battery strength you can even disengage the light with the
push of a button.
Works with all cuffs
The rear cuff clip allows mounting
to virtually every major cuff on the
market today
. A locking connector
permits rapid, yet secure connection.
At just 3.14 ounces it won’t weigh
down even the smallest infant cuffs.
It’s the Last Manometer you will
ever need………
While most electronic instruments are warranted for no more
than a year, our digital aneroid is warranted to remain accurate
for LIFE. Combined with our 2 year ADCUFF
TM
Inflation system
warranty
, we provide total protection for your instrument.
