Medical Assistant Prep / Unit 13 MAS 308 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Automated and Home Cuffs
Captions available
The idea
Automated devices inflate, deflate and read the cuff pressure on their own.
In practice
For home monitoring, a cuff around the upper arm is more accurate than wrist or finger devices, and it must fit snugly without being too small.
Where people slip
An automated reading still needs correct cuff size, rest and posture to be accurate.
