Non-invasive sphygmomanometers – Part 1: Requirements and test methods for non-automated measurement type (ISO 81060-1:2007)

Abstract

ISO 81060-1:2007 specifies requirements for non-automated sphygmomanometers and their accessories, which, by means of inflatable cuffs, are used for the non-invasive blood pressure measurement by operator observation.

ISO 81060-1:2007 specifies requirements for the safety and essential performance, including effectiveness and labelling, for non-automated sphygmomanometers and their accessories, including test methods to determine the accuracy of non-invasive blood pressure measurement.

ISO 81060-1:2007 covers non-invasive blood pressure measurement devices with a pressure-sensing element and display used in conjunction with means of detecting blood flow.
