  • Patent number: 10251567
    Abstract: An apparatus for an accurate automated non-invasive measurement of blood pressure waveform using brachial (occlusion) cuff pressurized above systolic pressure and using differential pressure sensor. The methodology involves measurement in suprasystolic mode and in utilization and construction of the device followed by algorithms for processing and analysis of measured blood pressure pulse waves and assessment of hemodynamic parameters of human cardiovascular system. The device includes an electro-pump connected to the collar device, a differential pressure sensor, pressure senor A, pressure sensor B, valve, closing a valve and the air reservoir. The cuff is wrapped around a person's arm. The values of the instantaneous pressure in the pneumatic portion of the device are converted into an electric signal by the pressure sensor A, pressure sensor B and the differential pressure sensor.
