Sphygmomanometer Definition. A sphygmomanometer is a device that measures blood pressure. It is composes of an inflatable rubber cuff, which is wrapped around the arm. A measuring device indicates the cuff's pressure. A bulb inflates the cuff and a valve releases pressure. A stethoscope is used to listen to arterial blood flow sounds.
random-zero sphygmomanometer. A sphygmomanometer that allows the blood pressure to be taken without the observer's knowing where zero pressure is on the device.
