i would go with this one. either this one or go up one level (littmann ranks its scopes by sensitivity). use their website to determine which one you want, and then amazon to find the best price

No stethoscope required. The unit senses the patient's pulse thru the cuff. One problem is that the unit does not properly sense an irregular heartbeat. The inside computer becomes confused, since it expects a regular heartbeat. I gave up using it and bought a wrist cuff monitor that works repeatably with my irregular heart beat.

I'm a cancer patient and also I have a serius Mitral Valve damage for many years,the iximeter is a very important tool to know my readings ,pulse rate,oxigen etc. I check my with the one my oncologist use at his office and show 100% accurated. Now 10 days ago my heart bits start again up and down to fast,so I decired to buy a new blood pressure equipment a lot more accurated so I take my blood pressure on my left arm and use my oximeter on my right hand (never use both on the same arm),and was exactly on both the oximeter and on the blood pressure reading. The most I like is when the numbers are in a level not right the oximeter star beeping higher and higher so alert you to paid attention and report to your doctor ASAP. A very good friend ask me the same and I told him please try he have the same problem but not related with a Mitral valve problem,I was in a 6 weeks period at 3 diferent hospital by rescue in a life treathning,and my cardiologist told me he feel more confortable because I have this very professional oximeter. But the most important check with your cardiologist and his/her decision will be the best for you. I'm very happen and after I have it I can control my heart bit and keep my doctor aware minute by minute. Hopefully my answer help you. Good luck! God Bless you and your family. Ramon,Hialeah,Fl.

Yes this stethoscope is dual with bell and diaphragm. It also comes with extra covers for both.

I'm sorry but the Concord Pulse Oximeters do not come in pink. Besides Emerald Green, it is available in Sapphire Blue or Topaz Yellow, for the same price.

As long as the recipient likes Dr. Who and specifically the tenth doctor. I love mine. It's very detailed and accurate.

You send it back to the manufacturer. It has a life time warranty. But I like mine so much and find it to be very accurate when compared to "regular cuffs" and stethoscope that I fully trust it. Just make sure you have the correct sized cuff for your arm! I have two sized cuffs--large for me and medium for other folks. I really doubt that recalibration would be needed for this monitor.

I like this stethoscope. Anything you get with the littman name will be high quality, the difference from the higher priced models is that this is not cardiac specific. It is a general stethoscope. There is no loss of sound identification. You can still hear s1-s2, lung sounds, bruits, murmurs, bowel sounds, and the like.

I used it through nursing school and invested in a good watch. The idea of it being around your neck is good in theory but not very practical in the field. The watch face is too small and you need both your hands for tasks and with this you have to hold it to see the face while doing your task. Get a watch that is water resistant or proof, analog, and has a comfortable strap that is flexible (leather won't hold up). A band that stretches is optimum so you can push up your arm when doing a task then keep there to scrub up when done.

My mother, sister, and I have been very pleased with the Pearls brand. They make some for specific problems or concerns also. If you have a special need, such as IB, you may want to try the Pearls IC - intensive care. Look to see which product meets your needs. Good Luck.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0059UGT1K/ref=pd_aw_sbs_e_1?pi=SL500_SS115This one seems to be the best reviewed one here. This is where my money would go.

Gail, good for you and glad that your sister was able to seek out a holistic vet. Should you get to a point where you might need additional assistance, I can recommend someone who has helped me where medical science could not. All the best!

The one I got was the Garmin Premium Heart Rate Monitor (Soft Strap) ordered on Amazon. It works perfectly.

Hi Jack, I have a Micro-life monitor and am quite pleased with it - easy to use etc, though a larger cuff for larger people would have been handy as I had to but one especially. Your AFIB? Not sure what that stands for, so can't make a comment. However, the monitor does detect irregular heartbeat, if that's any help to you - all these gadgets are clever, but they don't replace a Dr or specialist. Cheers, Warren. p.s. let me know how you got on?

High Vas, I believe that you can order which one you want but either way you can convert the readings. For example if you buy a 60 hz instrument you can simply convert the reading to the a 50hz equivalent and if you buy a 50hz instrument you can simply convert the reading to the a 60hz equivalent The conversion factor is given in the instrument hand book or on their web site. I purchased a 60hz instrument while in the USA but use it in Australia which is 50hz. I don't bother with conversions I am simply interested whether I am being subjected to an Electromagnetic field. Be very wary of underground power systems as the threat is not always as obvious as transmission towers overhead.
