::. Blood Pressure Machines

As part of the on-going wellness program at the NIH, the Division of Occupational Health and Safety (DOHS), Office of Research Services (ORS) has acquired fifteen new blood pressure monitoring stations for use at various locations, both on and off campus. These devices will replace the units that have been used on campus previously. Several additional health station locations have been added to expand the service. The new units feature touch screen operation and can store an individual’s health statistics on the station for 30 days. They are designed to measure the user’s blood pressure, weight and calculate percent body fat. A weight scale is incorporated in the seat for people that are interested in using this feature. Body fat calculations will require the user to input information into the appropriate screen.
