The project, which was the result of cooperation between the Freeman Hospital, University of Newcastle and A C Cossor \u0026amp; Son (Surgical) Ltd won a DTI award for Technology Transfer.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe strength of the greenlight 300 is that it is suitable for any patient group (including the pregnant and the elderly) where mercury was used in the past. The reasons for this are as follows:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eIt is a manual device \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIt displays every 2mmHg \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIt is easier to read than mercury \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIt is calibrated to 0.4mmHg \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIt carries out an auto calibration to zero each time it is switched on \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe cuff deflation rate is displayed \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAny cuff size can be used \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequent calibration checks are not required  \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eThe UK Medical Devices Directive, in common with most National Regulatory Bodies, requires measuring devices to be checked every year (aneroid devices need to be checked every six months). The specification of the greenlight is that taking into account the worst case tolerance of all components and the range of environmental conditions, only 1 in 10,000 devices would need any form of recalibration each year. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe greenlight 300 has been validated to the New International Protocol of the European Society of Hypertension by the Mayo Clinic in the United States, giving further independent proof of its accuracy and suitability as a replacement for the mercury instrument. The greenlight 300 is also sold as a test reference manometer for checking aneroid devices  – another indication of its reliable accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Acana Medical","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55923353059710,"sku":"AC0770","price":223.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0936\/5159\/9742\/files\/accoson-greenlight2.jpg?v=1751983636","url":"https:\/\/acana-medical.myshopify.com\/products\/accoson-green-light-300-sphyg-gauge-only-p-4200","provider":"Acana Medical","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
