Do you need to use a stethoscope with this?

You do indeed. You have to have a stethoscope to hear the blood flow. When you hear it and then don't hear it gives you the systolic and diastolic. If you practice you can do it yourself but generally you have someone else take your bp.

No...need syringe to apply high pressure. I put the syringe against my chest and use both hands to pull the unit back with all my mite. Works great. 3 of us camped on only water source for a week, which was a stagnant beaver pond. Water smelled bad but no one got sick.

Believe it or not, it is not needed. I had eye surgery, one eye of reading and one for distance. These work fine, better than fine, perfect!

No, you do not need a prescription. It is recommended by many veterinarians.

Yes. It comes with a chest strap. Make sure you order it including the strap. Some of the sellers have a without strap option, but you NEED the strap for heart rate.

You don't really need one. There is a mouthpiece that flips out of the top of the device itself.

Only one tube is required. This is the same type of pressure tube that is used on any Heart Monitor.Four cuffs are supplied. These cuffs are great for all the family. Generally the machine is to be used by your doctor etc. as they can fit to cuff every time. Using the machine by yourself just set the cuff to allow your arm to easily slip in and out with the cuff deflated. I use my monitor everyday and I am so happy with the unit. Hope this helps, Cheers Gary Judge

Yes. I can't use mine because I don't have one. Its still in the box it came in because I didn't realize that's what pneumatic meant.

Yes. To take a blood pressure you need both the cuff and a stethoscope. For only taking blood pressure An expensive one is not required. After you get it have someone teach you the proper method of taking blood pressure. Good luck.

Not sure if it would be considered light weight technically. I had one previously but lost it and I got another one off Amazon because it is a great stethoscope and to me it is light weight . Carrying it around on your neck or pocket won't be an issue. Hope this helps!

The stethoscope requires 2 watch-type batteries. My grandson's stethoscope batteries went dead a month after I bought the set, and I can't find replacement batteries for it. I took the batteries to Walmart, and they said the batteries are some kind of cheap brand that they can't find a comparable name brand battery for. So we're stuck with a stethoscope that won't work, until if and when I can figure out where to find replacement batteries.

No, the size of the mouthpiece is fine without it, unless you experience any discomfort or difficulty playing.Also, I would recommend purchasing the synthetic Didge instead of the bamboo one. :)

I don't know if this is the best way, but it works for me. I wipe it down after each shift with the purple top Sani wipes my hospital has in every spot possible. I also wipe down my stethoscope after every patient use. After several months of use and numerous shifts, it still works and looks excellent. Hope this helps.

I suppose you could, but I don't think you want to. The picture makes it look a lot bigger than it is. It's actually relatively small, about the size of a book. It's handy for minor needs, but not really much more than that. I used it for baseball because kids were always needing bandaid, and such. This first aid kit is good for that.

No it did not come with the stethoscope. It just came with the cuff and the little black bag/case to put the cuff in.

Personally, I need chest breathing. This is for belly breathing, 'I' think. Hope that helps! P.S I WAS NOT impressed with the mouthpiece.

No and it depends on how you work with it, defines if you need one. I train, and work in small rooms or listen to others train, so for me not a need. A musician on stage might need one?
