Omron Sprague Rappaport & Sphymomanometer Combo Pack Fanny Pack, Black

Customer Reviews

Great package for the price, good quality!

This was a great buy. The Omron sphygmomanometers are nearly $30 alone, so it makes sense to spend about $5 more for all the extras you get in this package. The BP cuff is very good quality (though I think it may be reading a bit high), and comes with a lifetime warranty in case the gauge needs to be tuned. The steth it came with is decent - I had a Littmann Lightweight stethoscope that I much prefer and definitely recommend. The penlight went out after using it three times, but I can probably replace the battery. I prefer the white penlights as the pupil gauges are easier to read anyway, so I'm not worried about that. (The one that comes with the package is silver metal with black print.) Good bandage scissors and standard measuring tape. Definitely won't be wearing the fanny pack anytime soon, but it is nice to have something to pack everything in when you need to carry everything along. Package arrived quickly - no complaints!

Value for the money

A very good set for the money (1 replacement included), got this for my wife (she's the Doc). Although the pictured light pen is plastic, the one received was stainless steel.

Great value for easy to use set!

For the value. this cannot be beat. The set includes everything I needed for class...tape measure, pen light, cuff, and stethoscope. The fanny pack is something I don't ever plan on wearing, but is great to carry all the items with me to school...and I can fit some pocket references inside as well. Although not the best quality (and the fact I would prefer a single tube Littman type stethoscope) for the purposes I need them for at school, this set is more than sufficient!

It works fine, but...

The sphymomanometer works great. The acoustics of the stethoscope are also great. My only complaints are with the bulkiness of the dual tubes, and that the ear pieces are hard as rocks. If it had softer tips I'd bump the rating higher. For the price, I'd still recommend it.

WONDERFUL !!

This was a gift for my friend who is in nursing school. She loved that it was purple and had so many other items she needed, and would have had to buy separately. I loved the price ! For the money it far surpassed any other kit with comparable items. I would definitely recommend this to a nursing or medical student !

You pay for what you get. This pack brings good quality for low price. It's definitely not the best but it's reliable enough for a good start.

Great Value and Great product

I am very pleased with this purchase. It is a great value at the price I paid. Omron still stands up to its good name in my book and the savings was phenomenal.

Gives you the stuff but doesn't tell you how to use it.

Frankly speaking I am not sure how to rate it. And here is why: There is not a shred of instruction as to how to use it. If it is being sold as a
use-it-yourself, like the digital ones then that is a serious mistake. Even if I knew how to use it, I could not put the cuff on by myself. I needed my wife to help me put it properly.

Now the reason I bought this is that I am simply tired of my digital ones going out of callibration and giving me very inaccurate results. I started getting lower pressure at the doctors office than at home. Next time I took it to the doctors office and it read higher about 30points (sys). I am on the fourth or fifth digital one. So I wanted a manual one with direct measurement.

But without instructions an without a self-help cuff, its use is limited to healthcare professionals.

By the way it comes with a little flash light. Presumably for checking your iris. Well they don't give you a mirror ! ! !. Kinda difficult to see your own eyes.

Oh it also comes with a pair of blunt sissors. I don't know about others but I am not very good at do-it-yourself surgery.

Great Product for Clinicals and CNA/SRNA

I got this because i needed the blood pressure cuff and it seemed the best choice and well it was...i was really satisfied with the product in whole...it came with everything i needed and more to get me through my class and clinicals

i would recommend getting this but if you're actually going into the RN program buy a better stethoscope this one is just your basic ordinary stethoscope
