Measurement Method
MOCACuff Automatic Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor measures
blood pressure and heart rate by oscillometric method, meaning
the fluctuations in pressure are measured. Once the cuff is
wrapped around your wrist, just turn on the monitor and inflation
automatically starts. The ination of the cu creates pressure around
the arteries inside the wrist.
Within the cu is a gauge which senses the uctuations (oscillations)
in pressure. The fluctuation measured represents the degree of
intensity that your arteries contracting with each heart beat, and
also a result of the pressure that the cu has placed on the wrist. The
monitor measures these contractions and converts the information to
a digital value. This is the result displayed on the monitor screen.
Once the measurement is complete, the cu will automatically deate.
NOTE
• The patient is an intended operator.
• The applied part is the cu.
