  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FACILITATING PROPER CUFF USE DURING NON-INVASIVE BLOOD PRESSURE MEASUREMENT
    Publication number: 20080243010
    Abstract: A non-invasive blood pressure system comprises a blood pressure cuff having an identifier and an aperture such that the identifier can be read through the aperture when the cuff is in a desired configuration. Another comprises a processor in operative communication with the cuff and configured to initiate a blood pressure determination when the identifier can be read through the aperture, while a method provides such blood pressure cuffs.

  • Method and apparatus for determining blood pressure using pressure pulse duty cycle
    Patent number: 6767328
    Abstract: A method of processing oscillometric blood pressure pulse data taken from a subject is disclosed. In an exemplary embodiment, the method includes determining a pressure pulse period of a cardiac cycle of the subject and identifying a duration of a pressure pulse detected within the pressure pulse period. Then, a duty cycle of the pressure pulse is calculated with respect to the pressure pulse period, wherein the calculated duty cycle is used to determine selected blood pressure parameters.
