1. A method for compensating for crosstalk behavior and element spacing of the sensor of an arterial tonometer instrument, which sensor has a plurality of pressure sensing elements disposed on at least one diaphragm, the method comprising the steps of:

  • determining a measured artery pressure profile of a superficial artery;

    using at least one characteristic of said measured artery pressure profile to determine an error correction factor;

    determining an uncorrected blood pressure value; and

    calculating a corrected blood pressure value by applying said error correction factor to said uncorrected blood pressure value.
