Description / Abstract:
General
This technical information report (TIR) discusses the potential
sources of motion artifact noise affecting manual and automated
sphygmomanometers in common professional healthcare environments,
as well as potential standardized device evaluation methods for
determining the performance of these sphygmomanometers when
artifact noise is present. Devices in the scope of this TIR include
manual sphygmomanometers, oscillometric devices, auscultatory
devices, and devices that utilize doppler ultrasound in the
estimation of Systolic and Diastolic arterial blood pressure.
Exclusions
This TIR does not cover artifact noise that is not patient or
motion induced. For example, radio frequency interference is
outside the scope of this document and is adequately addressed in
other US and international regulations.
