Patent number: 11510581Abstract: A blood pressure measurement method includes wrapping a cuff around a site. The cuff includes: a first bladder that swells due to receiving fluid and is arranged at an outer surface of the site that corresponds to a first half surface where an artery is; and a second bladder that swells due to receiving fluid and is arranged at the outer circumferential surface of the measurement site that corresponds to a second half surface opposite to the first half surface. During inflation, the pressure of the second bladder is made larger than the first bladder by supplying more fluid such that the stroke amount by which the second fluid bladder swells is larger in the thickness direction. Then, the two bladders are inflated at equal rates. In the process of inflating, or in the process of deflating at rates equal to each other after inflating, blood pressure is measured.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2019Date of Patent: November 29, 2022Assignee: OMRON HEALTHCARE Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yoshihide Tokko, Ryosuke Doi, Hiroshi Koshimizu, Kenji Ono
