Assessment of three multiple cuff blood pressure devices

Shortcomings of single cuff blood pressure devices have led to research of devices with more than one cuff for improved accuracy. We assessed two devices that use two cuffs and one device that uses three cuffs. The devices with two cuffs use one occluding arm cuff and one cuff that detects pulses that pass past the occluding cuff. The device with three cuffs uses pulse delay time. The advantages and the shortcomings of the devices are discussed in this paper
