Abstract
A multiple blood pressure cuff system comprises a plurality of inflatable cuffs of a range of widths and lengths which collectively share a common pressure source and a common pressure measuring device. A manifold pneumatically connects each cuff to the common pressure source and pressure measuring device and stopcock valves allow airflow to be directed to only the particular cuff in use. A mounting board is provided for affixing the system to a wall or cabinet and for conveniently supporting and displaying the cuffs that are not in use.
Claims28
A multiple cuff blood pressure system for measuring the blood pressure of different patients comprising:
- a fluid pressure source;
- at least three differently-sized inflatable cuffs from the group consisting of an infant cuff, a pediatric cuff, an adult cuff, a large adult cuff and a thigh cuff, each cuff being connected to said pressure source;
- means connected between said pressure source and said inflatable cuffs for directing fluid flow to a selected one of said inflatable cuffs;
- and
- means connected to said fluid pressure source for measuring fluid pressure in said selected inflatable cuff.
A multiple cuff blood pressure system for measuring the blood pressure of different patients comprising:
- a fluid pressure source;
- at least two differently-sized inflatable cuffs from the group consisting of an infant cuff, a pediatric cuff, an adult cuff, a large adult cuff and a thigh cuff, each cuff being connected to said pressure source;
- means connected between said pressure source and said inflatable cuffs for directing fluid flow to a selected one of said inflatable cuffs;
- and
- means connected to said fluid pressure source for measuring fluid pressure in said selected inflatable cuff, said flow directing means comprising a manifold including a plurality of valves connected in series, each of said inflatable cuffs being connected to a respective one of said valves, said fluid pressure source and said pressure measuring means being connected to said manifold.
A multiple cuff blood pressure system for measuring the blood pressure of different patients comprising:
- a fluid pressure source;
- at least two differently-sized inflatable cuffs from the group consisting of an infant cuff, a pediatric cuff, an adult cuff, a large adult cuff and a thigh cuff, each cuff being connected to said pressure source;
- means connected between said pressure source and said inflatable cuffs for directing fluid flow to a selected one of said inflatable cuffs, said flow directing means comprising a manifold assembly supported on a mounting plate adapted to be secured to a vertical surface, said mounting plate having a plurality of hangers, each of said hangers supporting a respective one of said inflatable cuffs;
- and
- means connected to said fluid pressure source for measuring fluid pressure in said selected inflatable cuff.
A multiple cuff blood pressure system comprising:
- a manifold assembly comprising a plurality of fluid pressure valves connected in series;
- a pressure source connected to said manifold assembly and a pressure measuring device connected to said manifold assembly;
- a plurality of inflatable blood pressure cuffs each connected to a respective one of said valves, said valves being selectively operable to connect said pressure source and said pressure measuring device to only one of said inflatable cuffs.
A multiple cuff blood pressure system for measuring the blood pressure of different patients comprising:
- a fluid pressure source;
- at least three differently-sized inflatable cuffs for measuring the blood pressure of patients with different size arms, all said cuffs being connected to said pressure source;
- valve means connected between said pressure source and said inflatable cuffs for directing fluid flow to a selected one of said inflatable cuffs;
- and
- means connected to said fluid pressure source for measuring fluid pressure in said selected inflatable cuff.
A multiple cuff blood pressure system comprising:
- a fluid pressure source;
- a plurality of differently-sized inflatable cuffs, each being connected to said pressure source;
- a manifold connected to said pressure source for directing fluid flow to a selected one of said inflatable cuffs, said manifold including a plurality of valves connected in series, each of said inflatable cuffs being connected to a respective one of said valves;
- and
- means connected to said manifold for measuring fluid pressure in said selected inflatable cuff.
