Abstract: Disclosed is a finger cuff that is attachable to a patient's finger to be used in measuring the patient's blood pressure by a blood pressure measurement system utilizing a volume clamp method. The finger cuff comprises a wrappable portion that wraps around a patient's finger. The wrappable portion includes a bladder and a light emitting diode (LED) and photodiode (PD) pair. The finger cuff further comprises a plurality of tubules mountable on an exterior of the wrappable portion. The tubules are inflatable to provide pressure to the wrappable portion of the finger cuff to the patient's finger and to provide tightness of the wrappable portion of the finger cuff to the patient's finger. When the finger cuff is placed around the patient's finger, the bladder and the LED-PD pair aid in measuring the patient's blood pressure by the blood pressure measurement system utilizing the volume clamp method.

Abstract: A stand assembly for supporting an object in a cantilevered manner above a surface is disclosed herein. The stand assembly includes a post member; a tray member coupled to the post member, the tray member configured to be rotatable between an active position for supporting the object and a collapsed position; an angular setting mechanism configured to set a user-desired angular position of the tray member relative to the post member; and a latching mechanism configured to maintain the tray member in the active position when engaged with the tray member by preventing a rotation of the tray member. The user-desired angular position setting of the tray member is maintained when the tray member is rotated from the active position to the collapsed position so that the tray member generally returns to the user-desired angular position when the tray member is rotated from the collapsed position to the active position.
