Abstract
A device for sensing blood pressure of an underlying artery of a patient includes a housing having a sensing region and a pivot region. The sensing region is pivotable about the pivot region in response to a hold down pressure applied at the sensing region by a user. The device includes a sensor interface assembly that is supported by the sensing region. The sensor interface assembly includes a sensing surface suited for engaging tissue adjacent the artery for sensing pressure from the artery. A wrist connection holds the housing adjacent the patient's wrist.
