The oscillometric device assesses the brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) through the measurement of the transit time between the brachial artery and tibial artery through the oscillometric amplitude.

The determination of the carotid-femoral (cf) PWV results from the following calculation: cfPWV = 0.833 x baPWV -2.333 (m/s). The applanation tonometry device uses the tonometric technique with direct measurement of the cfPWV.</p
