DEFINITION

Classification: 600/493

Electric signal generated by sensing means responsive to pulse or Korotkoff sounds:

(under subclass 490) Subject matter wherein a detecting means generates an electric signal in response to (a) pulsating flow of blood in the blood vessel or (b) Korotkoff sounds associated with such flow.

(1) Note. An electric signal of the type included in this subclass is usable for various purposes (e.g., to control an indicator, a recorder, or a means for pressurizing an occluding cuff).
