SunTech Medical has, for over 20 years, been a leading provider of clinical-grade Blood Pressure (BP) monitors and OEM BP technologies. Our sole focus on blood pressure has allowed us to study various patient populations and design equipment specific to the needs and environments of those patient groups.

Over the past five years, we have focused on the dialysis market and the special requirements of taking blood pressure readings on patients during dialysis treatment. The process of renal hemodialysis occasions significant fluid loss from the circulatory system, tissues and interstitial spaces. The affects range from loosening of the BP cuff (edema loss) to potential changes in pulse transmission characteristics. All can affect BP system accuracy.

This clinical environment is further complicated because dialysis patients are known to have a higher incidence of cardiovascular issues. We have collected data and completed validations on patients undergoing dialysis. Analyzing these data has identified characteristics unique to and essential for tailoring a blood pressure system specific for this patient population.
