  • Publication number: 20170143217
    Abstract: A blood pressure measurement cuff includes a belt-shaped body and a ring having a temporary fastening structure that allows a region continuous with the outer circumferential end of the belt-shaped body to be pulled through the ring away from the measurement site during attachment and suppresses a case in which the region continuous with the outer circumferential end of the belt-shaped body is pulled back through the ring by elastic force of the measurement site. The temporary fastening structure includes a sleeve member fitted around a second side of the ring for pivoting around the second side. The sleeve member includes a first region that allows the outer cloth to slide and a second region having a projection that applies friction to the outer cloth in that order from an upstream side toward a downstream side with respect to a direction in which the belt-shaped body is pulled.

  • Patent number: 9511363
    Abstract: An isolator includes a work chamber, a sterilizing substance supply unit, a gas flow channel pressure adjustment unit, a work chamber barometer, and a controller. The controller is configured to control execution of a gas flow channel leak test for checking a gas leak in a gas flow channel based on a detection result by the work chamber barometer after making the gas flow channel pressure adjustment unit increase or decrease the pressure in the gas flow channel, and is configured to control supply of the sterilizing substance by the sterilizing substance supply unit. The controller performs heating of a heater, which accompanies the supply of the sterilizing substance, in parallel with the gas flow channel leak test.
