INTRODUCTION

Sphygmomanometers are essential medical tools used in both clinical settings and home healthcare. The sphygmomanometer, commonly referred to as a blood pressure monitor plays a critical role in diagnosing and managing cardiovascular conditions. It is used to measure arterial blood pressure, which reflects the force of blood pushing against the walls of arteries.

Accurate measurement of blood pressure cannot be overemphasized, as it is crucial for identifying conditions like hypertension, which can lead to more serious health issues such as heart disease, stroke, and kidney failure.
