Does anyone know who manufactures Nurse mates BP cuffs/sphygmos? Any one know how to contact the company?
I bought one to have handy, have used it maybe 6 times, and already it's out of callibration.
I've done a web search, but all I've come up with are places that sell Nurse Mates items..
Thanks a bunch!

On the dial usually there is a small brand name. Have you tried writing NurseMates directly? If their name is on it they should have an interest in making sure it is as advertised.
My apologies..apparently I wasn't clear. I am looking for website/email contact/phone number so I can contact Nurse Mates..so far I've not been able to find anything web wise other than sites that SELL nurse mates products..
really bugs me that the thing is out of callibration already.

COMPANY PROFILE
Lowell Shoe, Inc. began as Phyllis Shoe in Lowell, MA in 1927, manufacturing women's and children's sport shoes. During WWII, when leather was rationed, Phyllis Shoe survived by making both non-leather, non-rationed shoes, and rationed leather footwear, and in 1943, introduced "in-stock service", which was a great success among independent shoe retailers.
As the company grew, they expanded their product lines, introducing nurses' footwear, "loafers", boots, and saddle oxfords, among other styles. Then in 1959, Phyllis Shoe became Lowell Shoe Inc. and in 1961, Nurse Mates, Lowell's first national brand, was launched. Today Lowell is the largest manufacturer of white professional footwear in the world.
In 1967, Lowell began manufacturing in Puerto Rico (later expanding to the Dominican Republic as well), and in the 70's and 80's added Day Lites, Soft Spots, and hosiery products to its growing line of merchandise. In 1981, Lowell moved to its present location in Hudson, NH, and capacity doubled to more than one million pairs of shoes! Today, Lowell offers a full line of footwear, hosiery and accessories and continues with the same commitment to quality and comfort that started back in 1927."
Love that google search engine!
