Equipment Reliability

AMS equipment meets FDA standards.

All Health Monitoring Kiosks provided by American Medical Screening are comprised of medical grade electronic components.

Kiosks are manufactured within ISO 9000 inspected facilities and are designed to self-calibrate before each use.

If for any reason the computer cannot obtain enough data to provide an accurate reading it is programmed to give all 000’s and the user is instructed to try again.

“Our results indicate that when the machine and a trained observer measure blood pressure simultaneously, there is very good agreement.”

– Dr. David M. Berkson

“Blood pressure measurements correlated as well as did measurements by physicians and provided reliable determinations suitable for the purposes of screening, referral and monitoring of treatment.”
