 Great product, but be sure to change your eartips! July 7, 2010

This is an absolutely great value and a surprisingly solid purchase. I bought this pack almost two years ago as a backup, since it's so nicely organized and accessible. The sphygmomanometer works great (although I wish the tubing for the bulb was shorter). The acoustics on the Omron Sprague Rappaport stethoscope are also surprisingly good (please don't start comparing it to a Littmann, that's just ridiculous), for the price. However, the ear pieces are just plain terrible. They hurt my ears to the point that I can't even take auscultate for 10 seconds without having to switch back to my trusty Classic II. I recently changed the tips to a pair of soft spare ones that came with a Prestige brand scope. Now it seems to be a lot more comfortable and actually usable. The penlight is also pretty decent. All in all, a good purchase. Wish it came with a reflex hammer though, but hey.. it's great for what it's worth.

I was so excited to receive this product. My first impression of the stethoscope was that it was a bit heavy. It doesn't bother me though. The acoustics are excellent. I tried my mothers, my grandmothers, and even my dog's lung/heart sounds and they were as clear as day. However, after a few minutes I realized that the tubing was a MESS! They rub against each other and you can barely appreciate the clarity of the acoustics because of the rubbing. Also, the left tube slid off the head as if nothing. I was disappointed because if this happened while being home and only trying it one two people, imagine taking this thing to clinicals. How embarrassing for it to do something like that with a patient.
Next, I tried the cuff. It looks alright, though I had trouble with the bladder and gauge. It was SO hard to use that little gauge. It just doesn't seem very great. But it still does its job.
The penlight is reallllly nice. I really loved it.
It also comes with measuring tape and bandage scissors, which is really nice and important for clinicals.
The fanny pack is pretty cute and handy. Anyways, its a nice product but the stethoscope is rinky dink. I think I am going to return the product just because of that. Otherwise, its all awesome. Even the earbuds weren't a problem to me. Maybe its because I had big ears(?).

My daughter needed to purchase B.P. cuff and stethascope for a H.S. EMT class. These are great products at a terrific price!

I got this kit for $33. You can't beat that deal anywhere. Mine came with the bag, stethoscope, sphygmomanometer (including bulb and gauge), penlight, tape measure, bandage scissors, and extra plastic and rubber pieces for the stethoscope. The stethoscope is very sensitive. I could almost hear all 4 heart sounds on myself when I got it out and started playing with it. The 2 cords do tend to make some noise when you are moving the diaphragm around, but it sounds great as soon as you hold it still. The BP cuff appears to be of good quality though I haven't yet tried it. Overall extremely happy with my purchase.
