I just got this pedometer yesterday and so far so good. It has a lot of the functions as my old pedometer but its smaller and cheaper. However, the cover is a bit hard to open. It frequently got stuck, however its get better, so it probably is just because its new. Its also pretty easy to set-up.Get more detail about Oregon Scientific PE326CA Pedometer with Calorie Counter.

Shop For ACCUSPLIT AX120 Dual Pack Pedometer, Steps Only, 2 pedometers.
This simple pedometer is really all you need. I found it the best out of three pedometers I used.
I used one of these after the battery on my fancier Omron pedometer went dead. I found the AX-120 easier to use. It stayed on my waistband, was more accurate, and has that handy leash, which protects it from falling. Believe me, you want to use that leash. It makes the difference between a working pedometer and a non-working pedometer.
Although the Omron can be calibrated to your step length, if you both run and walk in one day, that renders the "mileage" data from it useless. It also tends to fall off your waist, since it has a pinch-clip like one of those things that you use to close a bag of chips...and no leash. One fall, and it started only counting three steps for every five.
I tried one other brand that I was given for free, and it was also pretty good, and pleasantly simple, but a little too sensitive. It tended to credit me with 200-250 steps just for my commute home, sitting in my car (okay, bumpy roads, but still.)
Conclusion: unless you're a real data junkie, this AX-120 is all you need. The price is great.Get more detail about ACCUSPLIT AX120 Dual Pack Pedometer, Steps Only, 2 pedometers..

ADC Pocket Otoscope Ophthalmoscope Diagnostic Set Top Quality
I've been in Family Medicine for 17 years. I purchased this kit from All Hearts and the otoscope bulb went out. I ordered a replacement and was charged for a bulb that was smashed, as if someone stepped on it an crushed it before packing it in the box that 8' x 10' for a 1/2" bulb. Why the packing materials for a smashed bulb? Then, they informed me that this is out of stock and I can no longer purchase the bulb. So, be very cautious before purchasing ANYTHING from All Hearts. They don't tell you until it's time to replace something, that it no longer is in stock.

Prestige Clinical Cardiology Stethoscope Get it now!
I bought this Prestige Medical Clincial Cardiology last year as a student nurse, when my Littmann Lightweight grew legs. That turned out to be a blessing in disguise, because my auscultation skill suddenly got a whole lot better. I found I could hear better with the diaphragm, and WAY better with the bell, in terms of both volume and clarity. With my previous scope, I could barely find an apical pulse, and with this one, I discovered heart murmurs that had not previously been in the hospital charts! Tell me THAT doesn't rock! It's not much heavier than my previous scope, and equally comfortable to the ears. Also, this one comes with a pediatric diaphragm that exchanges with the bell, and it's a good one; I could hear with it better than I could with the high-end pediatric scopes floating around the unit where I did that clinical ...and in Minnesota winters, pediatric units fill up with a lot of respiratory junk & you're listening to a lot of lung sounds. The pediatric diaphragm is nice for telling which sounds are coming from which lobes in smaller patients.
Two complaints, though: First, the tubing is quite short, and at times, I have had to get closer to patients than I really wanted to be. This can be awkward both physically and culturally. Second, to use the pediatric diaphragm, you have to take off the bell. Dumb design! Changing between these two is easy, but still not convenient to do in the middle of an assessment, especially when you're in a hurry (when aren't you?), and not having the bell for pediatric heart sounds is a significant limitation. If it were made so you could change between adult & pediatric diaphragms, and retain the bell (which seems to be fine for patients of just about any size), this would be a five-star stethoscope.
Still, most scopes I've seen don't even give you the option of a pediatric diaphragm. And the good volume and clarity are what you really care about. This is a nice one.
Oh, and if you're a new student getting your first stethoscope, don't assume (like I did at first) that a "cardiology" scope is designed specifically for use in cardiology, and may not work well for more general use. The term actually refers to the Y-shaped, dual-lumen tubing, which seems to work well for auscultation in any setting. Nobody bothered to explain that to me. Neither has anyone told me why this confusing terminology continues to be used. This is a good scope whether you're in cardiology or not.Get more detail about Prestige Clinical Cardiology Stethoscope.

New BP7003 Step Pedometer Buy Now
My company wanted to purchase a large number of inexpensive pedometers for a wellness program. We ordered 3 of the BP7003 and 3 of the SM-2000 and tested them in parallel. The BP7003 was very inaccurate and also had a tendency to accidentally reset because it did not have a cover. Users were easily frustrated.
If you can afford the additional $1.25 each, the SM-2000 is a much better alternative. We have placed several orders and now have over 100 in use. Both pedometers ship from the same company and the company offers quick shipping.Get more detail about New BP7003 Step Pedometer.

LifeSource UA-767PAC One Step Auto Inflate Blood Pressure Monitor with Medium Cuff and AC Adapter Decide Now
The product description given by Amazon for the medium sized cuff is wrong.
It states "The UA-767PV includes a medium arm cuff size which has a range of 7.5" to 12.2"
If you look up the description for LifeSource UA-280 Blood Pressure Monitor Cuff, that product description actually says Medium (9.4" - 14.2"). 9.4" - 14.2" is the correct size of the cuff that comes when you order the UA-767 monitor with medium cuff.

Lowest Price Sportline Walking Advantage 340 Faceplate Pedometer
I bought mine at Dick's Sporting Goods (thank goodness).
I took a tape with me and set it up right there in the store with the clerk's help. Then I proceeded to walk around the store. I took 100 steps. It read TWO!.
I could not believe it, I thought that I must have done something wrong, so repositioned it and took another 100 steps. It said 48. Over and Over for close to an hour I tried it, trying different clip positions every time. (Yes, I clipped it according to the directions on my right leg, on the belt line and over the center crease in my pants). The clerk worked closely with me on every adjustment as we tried over and over again. After what I am guessing was about 15 tries, I never once got a correct reading (although I got 98 once).
Obviously I gave it right back to the clerk and got my money back. I would have tried a different brand but they did not have any others.
