Abstract: A method for operating a blood pressure measuring apparatus includes the steps of: applying a measuring apparatus, containing a pressure unit and/or a pressure measuring unit, to a measurement point on the body; initialising the measuring apparatus by carrying out a reference measurement and/or by carrying out defined position changes to the measurement point and determining person-specific initialisation parameters; storing the person-specific initialisation parameters in a memory and control unit; carrying out at least one blood pressure measurement by applying a counter pressure to the pressure unit in a sub-systolic low-pressure range; maintaining the applied counter pressure within a plateau phase having a predefined duration and recording blood pressure time curve data during the predefined duration; converting the recorded blood pressure time curve data over the initialisation parameters into arterial blood pressure data over time.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating a blood pressure measuring apparatus, comprising the following method steps: applying a measuring apparatus, containing a pressure unit and/or a pressure measuring unit, to a measurement point on the body; initialising the measuring apparatus by carrying out a reference measurement and/or by carrying out defined position changes to the measurement point and determining person-specific initialisation parameters; storing the person-specific initialisation parameters in a memory and control unit; carrying out at least one blood pressure measurement by applying a counter pressure to the pressure unit in a sub-systolic low-pressure range; maintaining the applied counter pressure within a plateau phase having a predefined duration and recording blood pressure time curve data during the predefined duration; converting the recorded blood pressure time curve data over the initialisation parameters into arterial blood pressure data over time.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating a blood pressure measuring device, comprising the method steps: performing a blood pressure measurement using the blood pressure measuring device, consisting of a cuff for placing around an extremity, a pump for inflating the sleeve and a pressure sensor for registering the cuff pressure, inflation of the cuff taking place in an inflation phase and release of the pressure in the sleeve taking place in a release phase, registering and storing the pressure profile in the cuff over time during the inflation phase and/or during the release phase in a control and storage unit, extracting a pulse-like signal component from the pressure profile over time of the measured cuff pressure during the inflation phase and/or the release phase by a signal analysis inside the control and storage unit, signal analysis of the extracted in pulse-like signal component.
