Blood pressure transducers
Applies to pressure transducers, including cables, used to measure blood pressure through catheters or direct vascular puncture. Physiological measurements other than blood pressure may be taken with this transducer, although the requirements and tests of this standard were developed and designed with blood pressure measurement as the intended application of the device. Even though this standard addresses the safety and efficacy of the transducer for measurement of blood pressure, care should be exercised to ensure the compatibility of the particular transducer and blood pressure monitor.
