Blood Pressure Training Arm Simulator Model for Basic Nursing Training Skills Mannequin Manikins

Wow, is all I can say. After 30 years in health care education I honestly thought I had seen it all. I suppose you get what you pay for--that is if someone was paying you to have this junk. Arrived with the extensive instruction booklet which is literally one 8.5 x 11 piece of paper folded in half. The technician writing the instructions is as clear as someone with English as their fourth or fifth language on some benzos could be. The product arrived with nearly a dead battery. The cheapness of the hardware housing is consistent with that of a rigid styrofoam junk plastic. Keep this away from a stiff breeze to prevent complete collapse and breaking the unit. Both BP cuff and stethoscope are of the quality someone would give you for free through a medical supply place for signing up for an account. The arm plastic was pretty good for realism, but that was its best feature as nothing worked. After turning the unit on it presented in English, then thereafter Mandarin which I could never figure out how to change back to English. After a few hours playing with the menu and trying multiple different ways to hook the tubing up the thing never did work. Very bummed out. Anyway, another great Chinese made piece of &*#&

Directions were not user friendly. Blood pressure was accurate. Would use it again. But not very easy to use.

Its a good learning tool. Get a better stethoscope to use. We put a watch on its wrist to minimize any external sounds the heartbeat was making.
