An aneroid manual sphygmomanometer is a mechanical device used to measure blood pressure by inflating a cuff around the arm or thigh and reading the pressure via a dial gauge. It relies on a hand pump to build pressure and a calibrated needle to display systolic and diastolic readings, often used in clinical and home settings for routine monitoring.
These devices are typically regulated as medical instruments, with design and performance standards ensuring accuracy and safety. They may be sold as single-use or reusable, depending on manufacturer specifications, and are commonly found in hospitals, doctor’s offices, and personal care settings.
