• Single Cuff Sets: These complete kits include the gauge, inflation bulb/valve, and one FlexiPort Reusable 1-Tube Cuff in specific sizes:
  • Child (Size 09/09P)
  • Small Adult (Size 10)
  • Adult (Size 11)
  • Large Adult (Size 12)
• 4-Cuff Kit: A comprehensive set featuring the gauge, inflation components, and a full range of four reusable cuffs (Child, Small Adult, Adult, and Large Adult sizes) for versatile patient care.

Additional options can include a Zipper Case for enhanced portability and storage, or a Color Bumper Variety Pack (Red, Green, Blue, Purple) for personalized protection of the gauge.

Yes, the integrated, cuff-mounted design is a key feature of the Welch Allyn DuraShock DS44, specifically engineered to streamline workflow and allow for exceptionally quick cuff changes.

Key features that facilitate rapid and efficient usage include:

• Integrated Snap-In Design: The gauge snaps directly into the cuff using the FlexiPort system. This enables clinicians to quickly transition between different cuff sizes (Child, Adult, Large Adult, etc.).
• 360-Degree Gauge Rotation: The gauge can rotate a full 360 degrees, allowing for optimal reading visibility from any angle.
• Lightweight Inflation System: This contributes to greater patient comfort during the measurement process.

Yes, the Welch Allyn DuraShock DS44 is specifically engineered for superior durability and exceptional shock resistance, which helps lower the device’s lifetime cost compared to traditional aneroids.

This resilience is due to its innovative gear-free DuraShock Technology, which eliminates traditional mechanical linkages that are prone to damage and calibration drift.

Key durability features include:

• High Shock Resistance: The gauge is certified to withstand a 30-inch drop while maintaining accuracy, meeting AAMI shock resistance standards.
• Sustained Accuracy: The gear-free design ensures the certified accuracy of +/- 3 mmHg is preserved for a longer service life, reducing the need for frequent recalibration.
• Robust Integrated Design: The unique cuff-mounted gauge snaps directly into the cuff, creating a sturdy and reliable integrated system ideal for high-use clinical settings.

Yes, the Welch Allyn DuraShock DS44 system is designed to be integrated with FlexiPort Reusable 1-Tube Cuffs, ensuring accurate readings for various patient sizes. The integrated design allows the cuff-mounted gauge to snap directly into the cuff for quick changes.

The following cuff sizes are available:

• Child (Size 09)
• Small Adult (Size 10)
• Adult (Size 11)
• Large Adult (Size 12)

These sizes are available individually or as part of a Kit with 4 Cuffs (Size 09 to Size 12). Additionally, all components are latex-free.

No, the DuraShock DS44 is designed without a stop pin, utilizing advanced gear-free technology to ensure superior durability and consistent calibration over time compared to traditional aneroid models.

Yes, the Welch Allyn DuraShock DS44 is built for clinical durability and performs reliably across a wide range of conditions:

• Operating Temperature: 10°C to 40°C (50°F to 104°F)
• Operating Humidity: 15% to 90% (noncondensing)
• Storage Temperature: -20°C to 70°C (-4°F to 158°F)

This robust design ensures the device remains accurate and dependable, even when transported between different storage and clinical environments.

The Welch Allyn DuraShock DS44 sphygmomanometer is available in various configurations, and a zipper case is an optional accessory. Some variants, such as specific cuff kits, include the zipper case. However, it is not included when purchasing the “Gauge Only” option or other basic cuff configurations.
