FAQs
What is the accuracy of the DS-9191 blood pressure monitor?
The DS-9191 Aneroid Sphygmomanometer Kit offers clinically tested accuracy of +/- 3mm Hg.
What does 'aneroid' mean in this context?
Aneroid means the sphygmomanometer uses a mechanical gauge rather than a liquid column (like mercury) to display pressure readings.
Is the stethoscope included in the kit?
Yes, the kit includes a classic series stethoscope made of high-quality components.
What size cuff is included?
The kit includes a pediatric size cuff.
Can this kit be used for adult blood pressure monitoring?
While the included cuff is pediatric size, the gauge and stethoscope can be used with an adult-sized cuff if purchased separately, provided it uses standard tubing connections.
How should I clean the blood pressure cuff?
Wipe the nylon cuff with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Ensure it is completely dry before storing. Do not machine wash.
Is the carrying case waterproof?
Yes, the kit comes with a compact, waterproof nylon carry case designed for easy transport and protection.
Troubleshooting
Gauge not returning to zero
Gently tap the gauge face. If the needle remains off zero, the gauge may need recalibration or replacement.
Inaccurate or inconsistent readings
Ensure the cuff is applied correctly and snugly, not too tight or too loose. Check that the stethoscope diaphragm is placed properly on the brachial artery. Practice the inflation and deflation technique for smoother results.
Air leak in the system
Check all connections between the cuff, tubing, and gauge. Ensure the inflation bulb valve is fully closed when inflating. Inspect tubing for cracks or damage.
Stethoscope not picking up sound clearly
Ensure eartips are sealed in the ear canal. Check that the diaphragm is clean and properly seated. Ensure the chestpiece is positioned correctly over the artery.
