scope:

This part of ISO 81060 specifies the requirements and methods for the clinical validation of me equipment used for the intermittent non-invasive automatic estimation of the arterial blood pressure by utilizing a cuff.

This part of ISO 81060 is applicable to all sphygmomanometers that sense or display pulsations, flow or sounds for the estimation, display or recording of blood pressure. These sphygmomanometers need not have automatic cuff inflation. This part of ISO 81060 covers sphygmomanometers intended for use in all patient populations (e.g. all age and weight ranges), and all conditions of use (e.g. ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, stress testing blood pressure monitoring and blood pressure monitors for the home healthcare environment or self-measurement).

EXAMPLE Automated sphygmomanometer as given in IEC 80601-2-30 validated by this part of ISO 81060.

This part of ISO 81060 specifies additional disclosure requirements for the accompanying documents of sphygmomanometers validated according to this part of ISO 81060.

This part of ISO 81060 is not applicable to the validation of non-automated sphygmomanometers as given in ISO 81060-1 or invasive blood pressure monitoring equipment as given in IEC 60601-2-34.
