Abstract
A non-invasive blood pressure monitoring device includes an inflatable blood pressure cuff, a pump device for pressurizing the cuff, a pressure sensor to monitor blood pressure as physiological parameter, and an electrically actuated, normally-open solenoid valve configured to maintain a cuff pressure. A control unit configured to regulate a valve hold value for holding the normally-open solenoid valve at a desired closed position, wherein the valve hold value is at least one of a voltage value and a current value for controlling actuation of the normally-open solenoid valve. At least one inertial sensor configured to detect and transmit motion signals representative of external motions applied to the portable medical device, wherein the control unit is configured to regulate the valve hold value as a function of the motion signals of the at least one inertial sensor to maintain the normally-open solenoid valve in the closed position.
