A compact multi-cuff device combining properties of a tonometer, pulse wave analyzer, electrocardiograph, apexcardiograph, and electronic phonendoscope is described. The device has a reference-command unit with a compressor and a monitor, supplemented with pulse wave sensors and an original phonendoscope built using fiber optics. There are also clip-electrodes for single-lead ECG recording. The sensors are connected to the device via wireless communication, providing maximum comfort for the physician.
