Welch Allyn DuraShock DS44 Pocket Aneroid Sphygmomanometer

Yes, this sphygmomanometer utilizes the proprietary, gear-free DuraShock technology. This advanced engineering is a core selling point, offering exceptional durability and long-term reliability.

Key advantages of the DuraShock technology include:

• Superior Shock Resistance: The device can withstand a drop of up to 30 inches (meeting AAMI standards), ensuring it maintains functionality even in active clinical settings.
• Long-Term Calibration: By eliminating the gears, the device retains its factory calibration longer than traditional aneroids, providing consistent certified accuracy of +/- 3 mmHg.
• Enhanced Serviceability: The gauge features an integrated, cuff-mounted design, allowing it to snap directly into the cuff for quick, tool-free cuff changes.

Yes, the Welch Allyn DuraShock DS44 is certified as Latex-Free. This material feature ensures the device is suitable for use with patients and clinicians who have latex allergies, enhancing safety in the clinical environment.

Yes, the DuraShock DS44 provides highly accurate blood pressure readings, certified to an accuracy of +/- 3 mmHg.

This high level of precision is designed to be maintained longer than traditional aneroid devices thanks to the gear-free DuraShock technology, which resists shock and withstands a 30-inch drop.

The DuraShock DS44 is highly durable and utilizes gear-free DuraShock technology to achieve superior shock resistance. This design ensures the device:

• Can withstand a 30-inch drop, meeting AAMI standards.
• Remains accurately calibrated significantly longer than traditional aneroids.
• Provides a lower lifetime cost due to its extended service life and durability.

Yes, the Welch Allyn DuraShock DS44 is highly versatile and compatible with a wide range of patients. Proper cuff sizing is essential to utilize the device’s certified accuracy of +/- 3 mmHg.

The complete sphygmomanometer sets are available with reusable 2-tube cuffs in four distinct sizes:

• Size-09 Child
• Size-11 Adult
• Size-12 Large Adult
• Size-13 Thigh

Additionally, thanks to the integrated, cuff-mounted design, the gauge snaps directly into the cuff, simplifying quick configuration changes in busy clinical environments.

The Welch Allyn DuraShock DS44 is engineered for reliable performance across standard clinical environments. For accurate blood pressure measurement, the required operational conditions are:

Required Operating Conditions:

• Temperature Range: 10° C to 40° C (50° F to 104° F)
• Relative Humidity: 15% to 90% (noncondensing)

For enhanced durability and longevity when the device is not in use, it can be safely stored within the following, wider limits:

Storage Conditions:

• Temperature Range: -20° C to 70° C (-4° F to 158° F)
• Relative Humidity: 15% to 95% (noncondensing)

The components included vary depending on whether you choose the Gauge Only option or a complete system bundled with a cuff.

Complete System (Gauge with Cuff)

This configuration provides everything needed for immediate blood pressure measurement, featuring the highly durable DuraShock DS44 gauge. It includes:

• The Welch Allyn DuraShock DS44 Gauge
• An Inflation Bulb and Air Release Valve
• A Reusable, 2-Tube Cuff in the size selected (options include Child, Adult, Large Adult, or Thigh)

Gauge Only (Pocket-Gauge Adapter #5082-257)

This option is intended for professionals who plan to use the gauge with existing, compatible cuff systems. It includes:

• The DuraShock DS44 Gauge
• The necessary Pocket-Gauge Adapter (#5082-257)

Yes, the DuraShock DS44 gauge is designed for optimal visibility. It rotates 360 degrees, ensuring you can easily read the highly accurate measurements (certified to +/- 3 mmHg) from virtually any angle during use.

The Welch Allyn DuraShock DS44 is engineered for precision and durability, utilizing a gear-free design to ensure reliable measurements over time. The scale specifications are as follows:

• Scale Graduation: The radial scale displays readings in fine increments of 2 mmHg.
• Certified Accuracy: The device maintains certified clinical accuracy of +/- 3 mmHg.
• Operational Range: The full operational and displayed pressure range is 0 to 300 mmHg.

This high standard of measurement is maintained thanks to the DuraShock Technology, which provides superior shock resistance (withstanding a 30-inch drop) and helps the gauge retain its calibration longer than traditional aneroid models.

Yes, the Welch Allyn DuraShock DS44 is engineered with several features designed to optimize the patient experience and comfort during blood pressure measurement:

• Premium Inflation: The sphygmomanometer uses a premium inflation system that is specifically designed to maximize patient comfort.
• Lightweight, Integrated Design: The unique integrated, cuff-mounted design allows the gauge to snap directly into the cuff. This minimizes dangling components and contributes to an overall lightweight profile for greater patient ease.
• Latex-Free Material: The entire device is constructed using Latex-Free materials, helping to minimize the risk of allergic reactions for sensitive patients.
