摘要： A wrist mount apparatus (30) for placing a tissue stress sensor (48) in engagement with the tissue overlaying an artery for use in a system for noninvasively determining the intra-arterial blood pressure of a patient comprises a base portion (32) and a transducer platform (34) which is pivotally and slidingly engaged therewith the apparatus to be used on either wrist of the wearer. A force overload system (66, 74) is provided to protect the wearer from excessive forces applied to the wrist tissue by the apparatus. A quick disconnect feature (134, 136) allows the tissue stress sensor (48) to be readily removed from the wrist mount apparatus (30). A disposable, anticontamination film (144) is used with each application of the wrist mount apparatus (30) to minimize transferring contaminants from one wearer to another and preventing a build up of materials on the sensor's face.
