130 – Noninvasive Blood Pressure Measurement – TSD120

The most common form of indirect blood pressure measurement employs a pressure cuff, pump, and pressure transducer. This complete assembly is commonly referred to as a sphygmomanometer.

A physiologocal sounds transducer can be added to detect the Korotkoff sounds. This application note details how to take a blood pressure measurement using the TSD120 cuff transducer, TSD108 physiological sounds transducer, and AcqKnowledge software.

Associated Applications

• Plethysmography - Record PPG, measure BP indirectly, look at appendage size variations, and perform sexual arousal studies using BIOPAC or 3rd-party transducers.
• Cardiovascular Hemodynamics - Hardware for human and animals. Measure continuous BP, ECG, stroke volume, cardiac output, PPG, etc. For animal and tissue look at acute and chronic dose-response.
