blood pressure check
Cuff-based health reading
A blood pressure check is the routine measurement of the force blood exerts against artery walls, typically using an inflatable cuff on the upper arm.
It's a standard part of medical exams and pharmacy health screenings: The nurse did a quick blood pressure check before the appointment.
Home monitoring devices have made self-administered checks common.
