Abstract
The control unit of an automatic blood pressure monitor has a central chimney-shaped heat sink which is open at the top and the bottom. Air rising through the chimney dissipates heat generated during operation of the device. Additionally, in the event that liquid is accidently spilled from e.g. a bag of saline solution, it is directed downwardly through the chimney via a funnel.
