Because it seems to me that Lafayette is charging so much for the finger cuff, I decided to build one for myself. I went to a medical store and bought a new born cuff plus hose.I tried on a subject and only after a 100mm/HG I got a decent signal. What is a good pressure for the finger cuff?. Any suggestions are welcomed. Thanks, ------------------ Attila The Hun , lagellum dei IP: Logged |

That's about what you need to get a decent signal with the Lafayette. At least that was my experience. The Limestone uses 40 to 60 for a good signal, but their cuff is different.IP: Logged |

I am using a Lafayette system and used the Lafayette finger cuff but I can't seem to get the finger cuff to work very well! It is either erratic or doesn't show any reactions at all. I like the idea though and it is so much more comfortable than the other cuffs. Anyone have any ideas?IP: Logged |

You should place the finger cuff in the thumb , that´s the only finger that has pulse. If you place the finger cuff in some other finger you´ll get erratic traces. The cuff should be in the inner part of the finger , e.g. not in the nail upper seccion.Best, ------------------ Hól vagytok székelyek, e földet biztam rátok. Elvették töletek,másé lett hazátok.

You should be able to get a signal from a finger, but experiment.IP: Logged |

The Limestone finger cuff is awesome. I have yet to see any noticable difference in the tracings when the finger cuff is compared to the regular cuff. I know Jamie has some demo charts but I don't know how to post them here. If you want to see them, you can email Sue Luttrell at sue_luttrell@comcast.netTed IP: Logged |
