Electronic Blood Pressure Monitor Airtightness Testing Solution
1. Why is Airtightness Testing Necessary for Electronic Blood Pressure Monitors?
As a medical diagnostic device, the airtight performance of an electronic blood pressure monitor directly affects its measurement accuracy and reliability. Poor airtightness can lead to the following issues:
| Issue | Consequence |
|---|---|
|
Leakage causes pressure drop, leading to lower blood pressure readings |
|
Continuous leakage overworks the air pump |
|
Severe leakage may cause abnormal cuff inflation |
|
Fails certification standards such as YY 0670 and ISO 81060 |

A complete airtightness testing system ensures that every unit meets the medical accuracy requirements before leaving the factory. If you need a custom testing solution for your product, our medical testing specialists can provide expert consultation.
2. Detailed Professional Testing Solution
Comparison of Testing Methods
| Testing Method | Detection Sensitivity | Features | Applicable Areas |
|---|---|---|---|
| Direct Pressure Decay Method | ±1 mmHg | Pressure range: 0–300 mmHg (expandable to 500 mmHg) | Complete pneumatic system testing |
| Differential Pressure Method | ±0.5 mmHg | Ideal for detecting micro-leaks | Key sealed components (e.g., valves, joints) |
| Flow Testing Method | Quantifies leak rate | -- | Air pump output performance testing |
3. Typical Testing Process
Using an upper-arm electronic blood pressure monitor as an example:
| Testing Stage | Specific Steps |
|---|---|
| Pre-treatment Stage | Device self-check and zero-point calibration |
| Select the corresponding testing program (adult/child mode) | |
| Connection Stage | Quick-connect the monitor's air port to the fixture |
| System auto-identifies device type | |
| Testing Stage | Auto-inflation to preset pressure (usually 200 mmHg) |
| Pressure stabilization for 10 seconds before testing | |
| Monitor pressure decay within 60 seconds | |
| Evaluation Stage | System compares measured value with standard value |
| Auto-generate test report | |
| Result notification via sound/light signal |
4. Conclusion
Rigorous airtightness testing is a key step in ensuring that electronic blood pressure monitors comply with medical standards and deliver accurate measurements. Our solutions meet both domestic (YY 0670) and international (ISO 81060) standards and can be customized to your specific needs—helping medical device manufacturers improve product quality and reduce after-sales risk.
