Update on methods & simulators for evaluation of noninvasive blood pressure monitors.

The development of methods and simulators for evaluating noninvasive blood pressure (NIBP) monitors has been dynamic during the past few years. As a complement to a previous review paper in this journal, several additional developments are reported in this paper. These include evaluation methods developed in Australia, the United States and Europe, as well as NIBP simulators developed in Germany and the United States.
