Nasco Life/form® Deluxe Blood Pressure Simulator with Speaker System

A simulator for teaching physical assessment, the Deluxe Blood Pressure Simulator helps resolve the uncertainties common in teaching students to take blood pressure. This simulator provides an excellent means to practice listening to and distinguishing blood pressure sounds prior to actual clinical experience.

Often when working with a live subject, pressures are difficult to auscultate, making accurate evaluation of student proficiency nearly impossible and undermining the student's self-confidence. With this realistic unit, the student can find the preset results and the instructor can know with certainty if the student has performed the procedure accurately.

Features include:

• Durable control unit
• Palpable radial pulse
• Simple calibration procedure
• External speaker; ideal for broadcasting blood pressure sounds to an entire classroom 
• The electronically generated sounds have been digitally recorded
• This lifelike simulator allows the presetting of values for both systolic and diastolic pressures

Control Unit Allows Instructor to:

• Instantly change Korotkoff phases to compare audible differences
• Preset values for both systolic and diastolic pressures
• Adjust volume
• Demonstrate the phenomenon of auscultatory gap
• Adjust pulse rate
• Easily calibrate unit for use with any sphygmomanometer

Students:

• Use normal procedure to place cuff on arm
• Check palpable pulse at the radial site
• Pump cuff
• Pressures are activated at release valve
• Read pressures on sphygmomanometer
• Audibly discern the five Korotkoff phases with any stethoscope through a speaker in the arm

Includes:

• Blood pressure simulator
• Amplifier/speaker system
• 5-Year warranty.
