Aneroid sphygmomanometer with an adult cuff. A sphygmomanometer (pronounced /ËsfÉªÉ¡moÊmÉËnÉmÉ¨tÉr/. SFIG-moh-mÉ-NOM-i-tÉr) or blood pressure meter is a device used to. measure blood pressure, comprising an inflatable cuff to restrict blood. flow, and a mercury or mechanical manometer to measure the pressure. It is always used in conjunction with a means to determine at what. pressure blood flow is just starting, and at what pressure it is. unimpeded.
A sphygmomanometer consists of a hand bulb pump, a unit that displays the blood pressure reading, and an inflatable cuff that is usually wrapped around a person's upper arm. Care should be taken to ensure that the cuff size is appropriate for the person whose blood pressure is being taken.he sphygmomanometer is designed to monitor blood pressure by measuring the force of the blood in the heart where the pressure is greatest. This occurs during the contraction of the ventricles, when blood is pumped from the heart to the rest of the body (systolic pressure).
