BP Cuff failure

[evadgib]

Hi All,

        My Microlife BP cuff has seemingly failed. I cannot hear or feel where air might be escaping from but my guess is that it's inside the cuff bladder & that the hose & machine aren't to blame. Has anyone had this before and if so is there a quick fix? Is it worth fault finding as per a kids bike puncture despite 'not washable' being printed on the cuff?

Have never had a cuff failure but last Microlife indeed did fail in relatively short order so will not be buying another.  Most cuffs are interchangeable and replacements are available.  I would take to a clinic and have them check.  You can buy fairly good units from China now for less than 400 baht on Lazada - one I have reads the same as much more expensive Omorn.

...the cuff is a sealed unit therefore I ordered a new one from lasada. EBay would have been cheaper but longer in transit. Mine (42cm) was 725 bhat & is identical to the original.
