The primary objective of the present investigation is to determine the accuracy of a non-invasive non-oscillometric blood pressure wristband device when compared to invasive intra-arterial blood pressure monitors. In an intensive care unit patients who already have an intra-arterial blood pressure monitor in place, this wristband device will be applied and blood pressure readings compared for approximately 15 minutes. Blood pressure readings will be gathered and compared.

The device is a band intended to be worn on the wrist for intermittent blood pressure measurements. The device applies no inflatable mechanics or moving parts. The wristband is watertight and can be worn as any type of bracelet.
Because the subjects also have an intra-arterial blood pressure monitor in place, the subjects will serve as their own control

Average Error in Blood Pressure Readings
If the value obtained from the LiveMetric determination lied within the range of the reference BP, an error of 0 mm Hg (0kPa) was assigned to this determination. If the value obtained from the LiveMetric determination lies outside the range of the reference BP, the value of the determination from the adjacent limit of the range of the variation of BP was subtracted. That difference represents the error for this determination. The arithmetic mean of the error is calculated and its experimental standard deviation from the errors of each recording for each BP value (Systolic \& Diastolic) and determination for each patient.
Time frame: during intervention for 30 minutes
