The S+M basic aneroid sphygmomanometer is a manual blood pressure monitor from Surgical and Medical Products, distributed in Australia by Tollot Pty Ltd. It has a navy fabric cuff with a hook-and-loop closure, two rubber tubes, and an inflation bulb with the 0 to 300mmHg pressure dial mounted on it. The box is marked Australian Standard and CE.

Why choose an aneroid sphygmomanometer?
An aneroid monitor does not need batteries or mains power, which suits first aid rooms, training and remote kits. With a stethoscope over the brachial artery you listen for the sounds that mark systolic and diastolic pressure while watching the dial. The trade-off is skill: unlike an automatic monitor, the result depends on the person taking it.
Who it suits, and what it is not
This aneroid sphygmomanometer is a manual device for people trained to take blood pressure with a stethoscope. It does not include a stethoscope, so if you need one, choose the adult aneroid set with stethoscope. If you want to check your own blood pressure at home, a validated automatic upper-arm monitor is usually simpler; see our home blood pressure monitoring guide. S+M does not publish a cuff size range for this model, so check the cuff fits the upper arm before use.
As general maintenance advice, aneroid gauges can drift over time or if dropped. Check that the needle rests at zero before each use, and follow your workplace service and calibration requirements.
Taking an accurate reading
The Heart Foundation advises sitting quietly for five minutes first, with feet flat on the floor and the back and arm supported, the upper arm bare, and no smoking or caffeine for 30 minutes beforehand. Use a cuff that fits the upper arm, and take two measurements one minute apart. It defines high blood pressure as 140/90mmHg or more; a person whose readings are consistently above that should see their doctor.

Aneroid Sphygmomanometer FAQs
What is an aneroid sphygmomanometer?
A manual blood pressure monitor with a dial gauge instead of a mercury column or an electronic sensor. It is used with a stethoscope to listen for the sounds that mark systolic and diastolic pressure.
Does it come with a stethoscope?
No, this is the monitor only. Choose an aneroid set with a stethoscope if you need both.
Is it suitable for home use?
It suits people trained to take a manual reading. For self-checks at home, a validated automatic upper-arm monitor is usually easier.
What does the dial measure?
It reads from 0 to 300mmHg. The dial gauge is mounted on the inflation bulb.
How do I know it is accurate?
Check the needle rests at zero before use and avoid dropping the gauge. As general advice, aneroid gauges can drift, so follow your service and calibration requirements.
What blood pressure is too high?
The Heart Foundation defines high blood pressure as 140/90mmHg or more. See your doctor if your readings are consistently at or above that level.
