Abstract
An embodiment of a semi-automatic sphygmomanometer apparatus that provides a means for initiating and terminating inflation of a vascular cuff is disclosed. The semi-automatic sphygmomanometer apparatus includes a motor that operates a pump which generates air pressure to inflate the vascular cuff, wherein operation of the pump is initiated when the inflationary button is depressed and wherein operation of the pump is terminated when the inflationary button is released.
Claims17
A semi-automatic sphygmomanometer apparatus comprising:
- a motor in operative connection to a pump for generating air pressure;
- an inflationary button in operative connection with the motor for activating and terminating operation of the motor, wherein the inflationary button activates operation of the motor when depressed and terminates operation of the motor when not depressed;
- an air pressure release trigger for releasing air pressure generated by the pump;
- an air outlet in fluid flow communication with the pump;
- a hollow tubing having a first end in fluid flow communication with the air outlet;
- and
- an inflatable cuff in fluid flow communication with the hollow tubing for providing air pressure from the pump to the inflatable cuff.
