Blood pressure cuff apparatus and system

摘要

A pressure cuff is disclosed herein. The pressure cuff includes a sleeve and a cuff bladder. The cuff bladder defines a bladder length of 9.2+/−2.1 centimeters and a bladder width of 24.6+/−4.2 centimeters. The bladder length and bladder width dimensions provide precise non-invasive blood pressure measurements when the pressure cuff is applied to a forearm having a circumference in the range of 27 to 37 centimeters.

主权项

1. A method of monitoring the blood pressure of a patient having a forearm circumference in the range of 27 to 37 centimeters using a noninvasive blood pressure (NIBP) monitor, comprising:
providing a pressure cuff having a bladder having a width ratio range of 0.25 to 0.34 and a length ratio range of 0.66 to 0.91; positioning the pressure cuff around the forearm of the patient; and selectively inflating and deflating the pressure cuff using the NIBP monitor to non-invasively monitor the blood pressure of the patient while the pressure cuff is around the forearm of the patient.
