Claim 16:
17. The blood pressure monitoring device of claim 14, wherein the control circuitry includes further logic that when executed causes the blood pressure monitoring device to perform further operations including:
detecting arterial pulses from the bandpass component for each of the plurality tactile waveforms, wherein each of the arterial pulses are based, at least in part, on the pressure fluctuations due to the blood flow;
determining at least one comparison metric based on at least one of the plurality of tactile waveforms;
determining whether to accept or reject at least one of the plurality of tactile waveforms by comparing the comparison metric to a corresponding threshold value; and
identifying a maximum amplitude arterial pulse for each of the plurality of tactile waveforms, wherein the maximum amplitude arterial pulse is one of the arterial pulses having a pulse amplitude greater than any other one of the arterial pulses in a corresponding one of the plurality of tactile waveforms,
wherein the comparison metric includes at least the maximum amplitude arterial pulse, and wherein the corresponding threshold value is a pulse amplitude threshold.
