How is blood pressure measured?
The medisana BU 312 is a blood pressure unit which is used to measure blood pressure at the upper arm. The measurement
is carried out by a microprocessor, which, via a pressure sensor, measures the vibrations resulting from the inflation and
deflation of the cuff over the artery.
Blood pressure classification
