Abstract
The waveform of a blood pressure of a patient is corrected by a pressure correcting mechanism having an air chamber having a volume ranging from 1 to 150 .mu.l and a resistance passage having one end communicating with the air chamber and the other end with a blood pressure measuring line. The resistance passage has a cross-sectional area ranging from 2000 to 160,000 .mu.m.sup.2 and a length ranging from 0.5 to 40 mm. A fluid such as a physiological saline solution filled in the blood pressure measuring line can flow through the resistance passage into the air chamber to dampen an extraneous pressure wave transmitted through the blood pressure measuring line.
