WELCH ALLYN DURASHOCK DS54 TENSIOMETER

The DS54 features an air release valve with traditional decompression screw. By creating a gearless design, Welch Allyn has developed with the DuraShock™ a manometer with few moving parts. shock-resistant and lighter than traditional manometers. Until now, a tensiometer dropped on the floor required calibration or replacement. Now, the DuraShock™ tensiometer can fall up to 76 cm onto a hard surface while remaining calibrated. It's the only manometer capable of meeting the requirements of AAMI shock tests . (Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation) shock test requirements. In the traditional design of an aneroid blood pressure monitor, a delicate interplay of gears and springs converts and amplifies the vertical movement of the pinion into rotary motion in order to turn the needle. The DuraShock™ design says goodbye to gears and uses a simple helical spring to directly convert vertical pinion motion for needle rotation without relying on the multiphase gear system. - Shock-resistant to maintain accuracy with lower life-cycle cost - Latex-free - Screw deflation system
