The latest UM-102 auscultatory blood pressure monitor is designed to align with the Mercury-Free Era in blood pressure assessment.** Intended for use in medical and clinical settings **
The UM-102 mercury-free sphygmomanometer represents the new era in professional blood pressure monitoring. In 1905, Dr. Nikolai S. Korotkov introduced his method of measuring blood pressure using the Riva-Rocci mercury device. Since then, the mercury column has been the benchmark for blood pressure measurement, with the Korotkov or auscultatory method being widely used by healthcare professionals globally.
Recently, there has been a growing awareness of environmental conservation, and the use of mercury has become a global concern. Mercury is a hazardous metal that can contaminate communities and persist in the environment for many years, posing significant health risks. Therefore, eliminating mercury is crucial for maintaining a clean and safe environment.
As a leading producer of blood pressure monitors, A&D is addressing the international medical community's call to eliminate this hazardous metal by developing a new, advanced digital blood pressure monitor. The UM-101 and the new UM-102 are designed as alternatives to the mercury column, while also protecting the environment and providing an easy-to-use solution for hospital staff.
