? HOW UA-787 WORKS SELECTING THE CORRECT CUFF SIZE TM LifeSource blood pressure monitors are easy to use, accurate and digitally display full measurement readouts. Our technology is based on the “oscillometric method”—a non-invasive blood pressure determination. The term “oscillation” refers to the measure of vibrations caused by the arterial pulse. Our monitor examines the pulsatile pressure generated by the arterial wall as it expands and contracts against the cuff with each heartbeat.
