Prestige Sphygmomanometer & Stethoscope Kit with Matching Black Carrying Case

My son is studying to be an EMT and wanted to purchase this combo medical set. Honestly when I saw the price I didn't expect much. I was very wrong. The product arrived well packaged and very quickly. It came in a nice carrying case which is convenient. You'll be surprised at the quality of this product for the price. Very nice, would most definitely recommend and my son says it's works exactly as advertised. He's very pleased with the purchase.

I am a R.N. and bought it to take b/p readings of my loved ones at my home. It is very nice. It is well made. The gauge can even be easily taken off the cuff and held closer if either the person taking the b/p reading or the person having it done can easily hold it and watch the dial as it moves. The carrying case is a bonus. The stethoscope is well constructed and has the professional head on it which allows it to be readily rotated if the nurse wants to auscultate the lungs of an infant or small child. There are markings on the cuff that show the novice how and where to place the cuff in relation to the person's artery-depending upon which arm is being used for the reading. This product will last for years and is very well made. I would recommend this for any person who is wanting to take accurate b/p readings.As a side note: When taking a person's b/p they should always be sitting with their back against the chair, their feet firmly on the floor and NEVER have their legs crossed at the knee or ankles during the procedure. They should also be sitting in the chair for several minutes to allow the body to adjust so that the readings are accurate. Never should the person be talking, or have their arm unsupported during a b/p measurement.Additionally-the person taking the b/p should not be distracted and once the cuff has been pumped up to around 200 and the bulb release has been started-NEVER ever re-pump. It would be better to release all the air out of the cuff, wait a couple of minutes, and start over. The machines are only as accurate as the person using it and the person having it done.

I am a nursing student so quality and price are very important to me. I had originally spent more money on a stethoscope that I thought was better because of the brand name. After a few weeks in class I decided to purchase a sphygmomanometer and chose this kit. The stethoscope included in this kit is actually better than the one I had spent twice as much money on. On top of that I got a blood pressure cuff that is fantastic and several replacement parts for the stethoscope. I am very pleased with this product and several other students have ordered the same kit after seeing mine. This is truly a great product at a great price.

Had some issues with the stethoscope and had to contact the manufacture because this item was non returnable and I could not get a refund, but the company contacted me the next day and is shipping me a new scope for free.

Works great! Shipping was super fast!

The stethoscope that came did not work - meaning you could not hear a heartbeat. I wrote and complained to manufacturer - they sent a 2nd stethoscope that DID NOT WORK. My husband is an EMT/FIrefighter and said to just order a stethoscope from another vendor. I asked my Doctor's nurse and she gave me the brand to purchase from Amazon and we are quite please with the new vendor's stethoscope. So we are out of RR for this one - sadly if I'd read the reviews before my husband bought it - I would not have purchased it. Amazon needs to drop vendors like this!

For the price these products were great. However, any serious health care professional may not want to purchase them. The stethoscope is difficultly to clearly auscultate if there is any subtle movement at all. Heart sounds can be difficult to hear. I would recommend a stethoscope that doesn't not have two tubes. When the two tubes rub together they create turbulence and greatly interrupt your ability to listen to the patient. The sphygmomanometer has been great though.

When looking for a good quality stethoscope and blood pressure combination kit to have in my car while on the road, I looked no further than Prestige to offer what I needed. Prestige Medical has been in business for many years and has always come to the table with quality products at an exceptional price. I have used many of their supplies and find that of all the makers of the Sprague-Rappaport style stethoscope, they definitely have a good handle on how to build a quality, cost-effective product. Although I do not use this stethoscope while at work, it is made of good material and one should easily be able to auscultate a BP with this, as well as perform an assessment of cardiac and respiratory sounds. When my stethoscope (which was given to me as a present in nursing school...Littmann Cardiology III) craps out in time, I will certainly look to Prestige for my next stethoscope.Experience: Registered nurse working in critical care.
