subject: The Best Blood Pressure Monitor Manufacturer [print this page] With regard to the quality of the measurement, wrist type blood pressure monitor manufacturers are, however, somewhat less favourable. Wrist type blood pressure monitors have always a higher interindividual scattering of the measurement accuracy. This is due to the sensitive and complicate anatomical situation on the human wrist. While in the wrist, there are two arteries, the ulnar and the radial artery, the upper arm comprises just one artery. Measurements on the upper arm are known since a long time and therefore have less uncertainties.diagnositic treating instrument.
Known blood pressure monitor manufacturers are calibrated for an anatomical situation which corresponds to an average patient. This calibration may not be adapted to patients having e.g. relatively small or large wrist in the case of wrist type monitors.
It is an object of the present invention to overcome the draw-backs of the prior art, especially to provide a wrist type blood pressure monitor manufacturers which allow an optimum measurement of the blood pressure on the wrist also for patients who have a different anatomical situation as compared to the average patient. A further object of the invention consists in providing a calibration device for calibrating a wrist type blood pressure monitor. Still a further object of the invention consists in providing a system for calibrating a wrist type blood pressure monitor.An other object of the invention consists in providing a method for calibrating a wrist type blood pressure monitor. The blood pressure monitor shall be simple and economic to manufacture and easily to use and apply.surgical dressings.
According to the present invention, the calculating arrangement comprises an editable memory for storing data such as calibration data to be used in the calculation process of the blood pressure values within the calculating arrangement. Modifiable data can also be the weight, age or other parameters of the user. In contrast to know blood pressure monitors, where calibration data are pre-set in the factory, the present invention allows to recalibrate the blood pressure monitor by editing the calibration data in the memory. If e.g. a user becomes aware of the fact, that measured values are continuously too high or too low, the blood pressure monitor can be recalibrated. Obviously, the present invention is also useable for calibrating others than wrist type blood pressure monitor manufacturers, such as finger type monitors or also upper arm monitors, if a reasonable reference site is available.medical plastic and disposable products.
