[f. as prec. + -meter.]
1. A gyroscopic form of oscillograph (sense 1).
1899Sci. Amer. 29 July 71/2 An interesting gyroscopic device termed the ‘oscillometer’, has been put on the market by a Milanese firm.
2. Med. [ad. F. oscillomètre (V. Pachon 1909, in Compt. Rend. hebd. des Séances et Mém. de la Soc. de Biol. 735).] An instrument for indicating or recording the magnitude and rhythm of the pulse.
1910Brit. Med. Jrnl. 3 Dec. 1765/2 With the oscillometer..the disappearance or reappearance of the pulse is indicated by the needle. 1934C. J. Wiggers Physiol. Health & Dis. (1935) xl. 606 Some blood pressure instruments are equipped with a form of oscillometer by means of which the magnitude of the pressure fluctuations created within the bag can be read or recorded. 1974Passmore & Robson Compan. Med. Stud. III. i. xvii. 3/2 The oscillometer measures the amplitude of pulsation at different levels of the limb and provides an index of pulsatile blood flow.
Hence oˈscillometric a.; osciˈllometry, the use of an oscillometer.
1933Amer. Heart Jrnl. VIII. 398 Oscillometric studies carried out on 214 patients revealed that the maximal oscillometric phase..did not occur at the point of disappearance of the systolic tone. 1934Webster, Oscillometry. 1961Neurology XI. 25/2 Carotid oscillometry is easy to manage and is harmless as blood pressure determination. 1974J.
