FR Recognition Number 3-44
Standard
ANSI AAMI  BP22:1994 (R2016)
Blood pressure transducers
Scope/Abstract
This standard applies to pressure transducers, including cables, used to measure blood pressure through
catheters or direct vascular puncture. Physiological measurements other than blood pressure may be taken
with this transducer, although the requirements and tests of this standard were developed and designed with
blood pressure measurement as the intended application of the device. Even though this standard addresses
the safety and efficacy of the transducer for measurement of blood pressure, care should be exercised to
ensure the compatibility of the particular transducer and blood pressure monitor.
Extent of Recognition
