Automatic-inflation electronic sphygmomanometer, portable, arm/wrist

Intended purpose

The device is intended for the non-invasive measurement of arterial blood pressure by attaching an inflatable cuff to the upper arm of the user. Utilizing an embedded electronic sensor and integrated software algorithms, the device calculates systolic and diastolic blood pressure readings through oscillometric methods. It is designed to provide reliable measurements of blood pressure for domestic healthcare and clinical settings, aiding patients, and at times healthcare professionals, in monitoring blood pressure levels to support diagnosis, treatment management, and ongoing assessment of cardiovascular health. The intended purpose aligns closely with the GMDN term for a non-invasive automated sphygmomanometer, capturing the essential functions of measuring and digitally displaying arterial blood pressure values. As it provides measurements critical to clinical decision-making but does not directly control or support vital physiological functions, the device falls into risk classification Category IIa according to Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration ('TGA') criteria outlined in the Australian Regulatory Guidelines for Medical Devices ('ARGMD').
