ADC703-11AOR Diagnostix 703 Palm Style Aneroid Sphygmomanometer with Adcuff Nylon Blood Pressure Cuff, Adult, Orange

The only significant negative comment I saw in the reviews was about the hose connector being plastic, but it looks like the product is now updated with a chrome, knurled, spring-loaded quick-release coupler that is all metal on the gauge side and the hose side. The hose pops in easily, and pops off just as easily by pulling on the collar. The trigger is a LOT easier to modulate than the two traditional bulb valves I've used. Perhaps this is less important for a professional, but for an amateur like me taking a reading from someone with very "quiet" arteries, better equipment made all the difference between a white-knuckle experience for both the "doctor" and the patient, and an easy, quick, and comfortable one-time reading. Also helped immensely to ditch my cheap stethoscope (that works fine for "normal" patients and pros) for a good one.

I work as a paramedic and recently broke my basic BP cuff after 4 years of use. I bought this cuff due to it being smaller and easier to use. It's is both of those things but its fatal flaw comes in where the cuff tube mounts to the pump handle. The tube has a small, plastic nipple that is pressure fitted into a plastic hole in the handle. The nipple is very thin and only goes in about half way. This pressure fit of a 1/8 inch nipple is all that connects the cuff to the pump handle. I do not give it long before I break it there. I have to undo the handle every time I roll it back up to put in my jump bag. The tube has outside threads but there is nothing to screw those into. Looks like they had a plan to have it screw in but ran out of development time and left the threads off of the pump handle. I would not recommend this product for anyone in the pre-hospital medical field. It is a weak, flawed design.

I didn't pay attention to the "trigger style" release. I was jumping the gun to order for my daughter who will be starting nursing school soon. Apparently, her school requires them to have the standard release. This seller does not allow returns. Just wanted to point that out for other possible consumers. Other than that, it looks like it may be descent equipment. I'm now searching for something more appropriate to fit her needs.

This product not easy to use specially for people with hands arthritis even in the office not easy to squeeze bulb for blood pressure cuff. The owner did not follow my refusedto to return and customer survi e of Amazon not help with this issues at all so they did not help me to return this product even was ready to pay for return label. I am disappointed with Amazon customer service.Even I do shop with and pay in full but not resolved problem this is not use to be like that.

I purchased this b/c of the manual one-hand release, thinking it would be a welcome relief from having to navigate the standard BP cuff, and because it is difficult to always find a manual cuff at the ready. Well, it is easier; however, this cuff has been inaccurate 100% of the time on both the SYS and DIAS readings. I have taken a patient's BP manually (using another, reliable cuff), followed by a set of VS on this cuff. The SYS is anywhere from 20-50 off, and the DIAS about the same. Compared to 3 other cuffs, and 2 automatic machines (not always accurate themselves, I know, but they are closer to a good manual read than this was), this cuff has been off 100% of the time. Not a good thing when we're monitoring any acute care patients, let alone just doing standard VS. I'm stuck with it, so maybe I'll give it to my grandson and let him tinker with it, but I definitely won't be using it for patients at this point.

I have been a nurse for almost 20years so sphygmomanometers are common place in my life. I have used ADC at the work place and I love them! This unit is amazingly accurate; lifetime calibration; easy to use. I highly recommend it! It was simple to put together and use right out of the box. I compared a few brands and ADC won. I love the ease in taking BP's with one hand; no more contortionist moves for this nurse!

As a NP currently practicing while running a household with two young children, I just sawthe ADC Diagnostic 703 series and knew I HAD to HAVE It. With such precision and easy to read results, I can take it with me on the go go... even discreetly hide it in my evening clutch because you just never know when you may need this wonderful diagnostic tool.

I really like this bp cuff. The trigger system is easy to use and you can easily control how fast or slow the cuff deflates even at higher pressures. The cuff itself is made a of a plasticy type material which some people don't like but I prefer because it makes it easier to wipe/clean. The gauge does have a luminescent dial and markings/numbers but you have to intentionally put it up to a light for like 30 seconds to get it to glow in the dark afterwards. The connector piece which connects the gauge to the cuff tube is plastic and looks like it could be a point of failure and also uses a tiny o-ring to make a seal. The part is called the 804CN plastic luer connector which you can see here, click on model options, 71[...]). It is possible to buy replacement ones from random online dealers, which I plan to do just so I have a few extra just in case. I've also seen one or two reviews where the company sent replacement ones for free. The gauge is plastic on the outside but doesn't feel that cheap, however, I wouldn't trust this thing to survive a few drops. Overall I think it's a great cuff, it does the job well and makes bp's much easier to take, just treat it gently. I will update this review after using it for a few months. Honestly for me, I'm using this one until I can afford something like the Heine Gamma GP.
