CardioTech's Health Check Center is unique. It has a patented fixed pneumatic cuff that measures blood pressure from either forearm. When the user is standing, our patented technique makes appropriate adjustments for the difference in elevation between the user's heart and the pressure cuff. CardioTech's systems have audio capability to give instructions and to play a 30 to 60 second audio message while the user's blood pressure is being measured. Our equipment is easy to use, requires little floor space, is reliable, and modular in construction. The machines, which can be coin-operated, display, print and store the results, not only building customer loyalty, but also increasing store revenues and member retention, while promoting healthy lifestyles and lowering health care costs.
