A pressure sensitive device includes a housing having an upper portion and a narrowed lower portion. The housing retains a pressure responsive element having a movable surface which responds to changes in fluid pressure. A movement mechanism interconnects the movable surface of the pressure responsive element with an indicator disposed in an upper portion of the housing wherein at least a portion of the movement mechanism and the pressure responsive element are situated within a narrow lower portion of the housing. The narrow portion includes a ball-shaped end which directly engages a socket of an inflatable sleeve, such as a blood pressure cuff. The interconnection between the ball-shaped end and the socket permits pivotal movement of the housing to facilitate reading of the indicator.
