ADC Bariatric Diagnostix Pocket Aneroid Sphygmomanometer

It uses a mechanical aneroid gauge and a manually inflated cuff to measure systolic and diastolic pressure. Unlike an automatic digital monitor, it does not depend on electronic oscillometric processing or a battery-powered display.

The bariatric designation indicates that the device is intended to be used with a larger cuff option for patients whose upper arms require more coverage. ADC's Diagnostix line uses an Adcuff nylon cuff system with its Size Guide feature.

Yes. Its pressure gauge and inflation system are mechanical, so the unit does not need mains power or batteries for the measurement itself.

It offers portability and manual control, but accurate readings depend on correct cuff placement and listening technique. A user who is not trained to use an aneroid sphygmomanometer may find an automatic upper-arm monitor such as the Beurer BM51 easier to operate.
