3.4 The Height Correction Unit (HCU)
The Height Correction Unit (see Figure 3.5) consists of a liquid filled
tube connected at one end to a pressure transducer, called the HCU
transducer. This transducer has to be positioned at finger cuff level.
The tube ending comprises a circular container which has a small very
compliant plastic bag inside. This reference point has to be positioned
at heart level (see Figure 3.4). The Height Correction Unit connector
connects the unit to the Frontend Unit.
