Welch Allyn, a leading global provider of frontline medical products and solutions, has introduced the Connex ProBP 3400, an automated digital blood pressure device designed to fit in the palm of the hand.

The Connex ProBP, which is now available in markets outside the United States and Canada, delivers fast, accurate blood pressure readings with the durability of Welch Allyn’s popular hospital-grade vital signs devices.

“In today’s demanding healthcare environment, providers sometimes need a single, simple and easy-to-use blood pressure device that can capture readings quickly, easily and accurately,” said Lari Shreffler, global product marketing manager.

“Since it’s easy to operate yet maintains accuracy, the Connex ProBP may be used as a reliable replacement to traditional blood pressure gauges,” added Shreffler.

“The mercury- and latex-free Connex ProBP is safe for patients and the environment, and its Bluetooth wireless or USB cable-wired connectivity capabilities dramatically reduce the amount of time it takes to capture readings and transfer them to records, which means providers have more time to spend with their patients.”

The Connex ProBP is small enough to be comfortably hand carried, but can also be wheeled on a mobile stand or secured to the wall.

Like the new Welch Allyn Connex Vital Sign Monitor, the Connex ProBP is compatible with the complete range of FlexiPort cuff sizes for quick and easy cuff changes and to help reduce the risk and cost of cross contamination. It also features a rechargeable lithium ion battery that stays charged for at least 100 readings, and has been tested to last 150,000 cycles, meaning fewer interruptions to patient care. The device also retains up to 50 readings in its memory.-TradeArabia News Service
