Patent number: 8808189Abstract: A blood pressure measurement device includes a wrapping strength detecting portion for detecting a wrapping strength of a cuff with respect to a measurement site. The wrapping strength detecting portion detects the wrapping strength of the cuff prior to calculation of a blood pressure value by a blood pressure calculation unit. That is, the wrapping strength of the cuff is detected based on a relationship indicated by a volume change ?V12 of the cuff detected with a change in the detection pressure in the cuff wrapped around the measurement site from P1 to P2 and a volume change ?23 of the cuff detected with change from P2 to P3 in a process of controlling the cuff pressure by a pressure adjustment unit.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2011Date of Patent: August 19, 2014Assignee: Omron Healthcare Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yoshihide Tokko, Chisato Uesaka, Yukiya Sawanoi, Naomi Matsumura, Masaki Tomioka, Reiji Fujita, Shingo Yamashita, Yuuichiro Tamaki
