Personal Blood Pressure Cuff
Life Systems has introduced a personal blood pressure (BP) cuff for the safety of residents and caregivers in skilled nursing facilities (SNFs). The Nurse Rosie® Personal Cuff reduces the risk of spreading MRSA and other antibiotic-resistant infections by eliminating shared BP cuffs.
Those living with diabetes are more susceptible to the bacterium and residents in SNFs are especially vulnerable as this population is prone to developing skin wounds that easily spread bacteria. With up to 1,000 readings per cuff, the latex-free Nurse Rosie Personal Cuff can be used for several years on a resident and never risk passing infection to another resident.
