Can You Use Any Blood Pressure Cuff for Your Blood Pressure Monitor?

Are you wondering if you can use any blood pressure cuff for your blood pressure monitor? Are all blood pressure cuffs interchangeable? Unfortunately, the answer is no. 

So, you're probably wondering how are you supposed to figure out where to get the right cuff? We recommend going to the manufacturer or company where you bought your blood pressure monitor. For example, if you bought a blood pressure monitor from BV Medical then contact us and we can help you find the right cuff. You can also check out our product listings under the Replacement Parts dropdown or refer to our Cuff Compatibility Charts under Product Insights.

Important Need-to-Knows

This is applicable to both manual and automatic blood pressure monitors. It is best to contact the blood pressure monitor manufacturer directly or the company you bought it from.

Wrist blood pressure monitors often do not have replacement cuffs. The whole unit will have to be replaced. 

How Can You Tell the Difference?

What we commonly see with automatic blood pressure monitors are the cuff connectors are different among manufacturers. This is the part of the cuff tubing you install into the blood pressure unit. Take a look at your cuff tubing connectors, and you can tell the difference too.

Remember

  1. Blood pressure cuffs are compatible with their respective blood pressure monitor.
  2. Contact the company you bought your blood pressure monitor from or contact the manufacturer of the blood pressure monitor. 
  3. Check out product listings to see a list of replacement parts, and it can tell you exactly what cuffs are compatible.
