Unless they are referring to one of those wrist BP machines...granted that is still a machine. Never thought they were too accurate however (just my opinion). Not seeing how else you could get an accurate BP without a cuff/machine...

JustBeachy has it right, that is the only non-machine way to estimate. If someone says there is another way they are probably inventing the numbers rather than taking an actual blood pressure.
