Tycos developed one of the first aneroid sphygmomanometers in 1907, and we continually introduce innovations that improve reliability and accuracy. Tycos-brand instruments are of the highest quality. Most other brands include aneroid movements that are not even manufactured by the company offering the product. Welch Allyn has two manufacturing facilities devoted exclusively to blood pressure instruments.

Accurate Blood Pressure Tips

• Use the proper size cuff; if two cuff sizes fit, use the larger one.
• Place the cuff on a bare arm.
• Place the artery marker over the brachial artery.
• Apply the cuff snugly, allowing room for no more than two fingers underneath.
• Have the patient sit quietly for a few minutes.
• Do not talk to the patient while taking a blood pressure.
• Support the patients back and feet; keep legs uncrossed.
• Keep the upper arm at heart level with the lower arm passively supported, i.e. resting on lap.
• Keep the arm still during the measurement cycle.
