Abstract
A blood pressure monitoring device configured to attach and supply air to a blood pressure cuff can include a housing having an interior, a port configured to enable fluid communication between the interior of the housing and an interior of the blood pressure cuff, and an air intake configured to allow ambient air to enter the interior of the housing and further configured to inhibit liquids from entering the interior of the housing. The air intake can define a non-linear passageway for ambient air to enter the interior of the housing. The housing can have a first side and a first inner wall. The air intake can be defined by a first opening in the first side and a second opening in the first inner wall. The first opening can be not aligned with the second opening.
