<p>An ambulatory blood pressure monitor comprises a cuff (104) coupled by a single fluid passageway to a manifold (202) which in turn is coupled to a pump (102), valve (112) and pressure transducer (110). The manifold comprises a larger main chamber (360) in fluid communication with a smaller secondary chamber (362) through a small channel (370) in a wall separating the chambers. The pump, cuff and valve are in fluid communication with one another directly through the main chamber while the pressure transducer is coupled to the cuff through the secondary chamber.</p> |
