1   * Scope This part of ISO 81060 specifies requirements for non-automated sphygmomanometers , as defined in 3.11, and their accessories, which, by means of inflatable cuffs , are used for the non-invasive blood pressure measurement by operator observation. This part of ISO 81060 specifies requirements for the safety and essential performance, including effectiveness and labelling, for non-automated sphygmomanometers and their accessories, including test methods to determine the accuracy of non-invasive blood pressure measurement . The part of ISO 81060 covers non-invasive blood pressure measurement devices with a pressure-sensing element and display used in conjunction with means of detecting blood flow.

   EXAMPLE 1 
 
 A stethoscope for detecting Korotkoff sounds, Doppler ultrasound or other manual methods. 

Requirements for non-invasive blood pressure measurement equipment with electrically-powered pressure sensing elements and/or displays used in conjunction with other automatic methods determining blood pressure are specified in IEC 60601-2-30 [7] . Requirements for invasive blood pressure measurement equipment that directly measure blood pressure are specified in document IEC 60601-2-34 [8] .
