Blood pressure monitor
A blood pressure monitor measures arterial blood pressure, either with an automated oscillometric device or with a manual sphygmomanometer and stethoscope. It is used in clinics, wards, pharmacies, homes and as the NIBP parameter in patient monitors.
Common types
- Upper arm automatic monitor: the common choice for clinic and home use.
- Wrist monitor: compact, but more sensitive to arm position.
- Aneroid sphygmomanometer: manual dial gauge used with a stethoscope.
- Ambulatory monitor: records readings over 24 hours during daily activity.
- NIBP cuffs: reusable or single use cuffs in sizes from neonatal to thigh.

Documents to ask for
Buyers ask for CE marking under the EU MDR or US FDA clearance, ISO 13485 for the maker and test reports to IEC 80601-2-30 for automated devices. Clinical validation to ISO 81060-2 is commonly requested.
Certificates and registrations belong to the product and its manufacturer. We check them with you against the rules of your market before any order.
Why does cuff size matter so much?
A cuff that is too small tends to read high and one that is too large tends to read low. Order cuffs to match the arm circumference range of your patients, including large adult and paediatric sizes.
