  • Publication number: 20090264773
    Abstract: For each blood pressure measurement, measured blood pressure data output by a blood pressure calculation unit is stored in a memory. On this occasion, the number of times of measurement is incremented by a number of times of measurement update unit, and data on the incremented number of times of measurement is stored in the memory. Based on information read from the memory, a number of times display data generation unit generates display data for a count result of the number of times of blood pressure measurement, and supplies the generated display data to a display control unit. Based on the supplied data, the display control unit displays the count result of the number of times of blood pressure measurement on a display unit.

  • Patent number: 7250030
    Abstract: A cuff for a blood pressure monitor is provided with an air bag including a first bag member located outside and a second bag member located inside in the thickness direction when fitted on a living body. The first and second bag members have first and second inflated/deflated spaces, respectively. The second bag member is formed by laying a single-layer resin sheet on the surface on the living body side of the first bag member and by melting and bonding its rim to the surface. A bonded portion of the first bag member with the resin sheet is positioned inner than each end in the width direction of the first inflated/deflated space. Thus, a cuff for a blood pressure monitor fabricated with ease and at low cost, exhibiting high pressing performance and high avascularization performance, and suitable for reduction of cuff width can be provided.

  • Publication number: 20070100242
    Abstract: A plurality of pieces of measurement result data measured in a prescribed period is retrieved from blood pressure data stored in a memory. A CPU determines whether at least a plurality of prescribed number of pieces of blood pressure data corresponding to each of the plurality of measurement conditions are present in the retrieved plurality of pieces of blood pressure data. When the CPU determines that at least the plurality of prescribed number of pieces of blood pressure data are present, it calculates an average value of a blood pressure data group that includes the at least the plurality of prescribed number of pieces of blood pressure data, for each of the measurement conditions. The CPU then calculates a correlated evaluation quantity based on correlation of the average values respectively calculated for the measurement conditions.

  • Publication number: 20070038132
    Abstract: At the time of blood pressure measurement by an electronic blood pressure monitor, a calculation portion calculates a blood pressure based on a pressure within a cuff detected by a pressure sensor, and outputs blood pressure data. A data storing portion stores the blood pressure data in a memory in association with condition data indicating a condition concerning the blood pressure. A manipulation portion is manipulated by a user to designate a desired condition from among a plurality of conditions. When the manipulation portion is manipulated, a read and display portion searches the memory based on the condition designated by the manipulation, reads the blood pressure data associated with the designated condition from the memory, and displays the read data on a display portion.

  • Publication number: 20070038129
    Abstract: Measured blood pressure data is stored in a memory in association with information related to a measurement time. In response to manipulation of a manipulation portion (memory recall switch), blood pressure data associated with the measurement time within a prescribed time period (for example, 10 minutes) from the measurement time of reference blood pressure data, among the blood pressure data stored in the memory, is retrieved as specific data. Then, an average value is calculated based on the specific data, and the calculated average value is displayed as an evaluation index.

  • Publication number: 20070038134
    Abstract: An electronic blood pressure monitor has a switch detecting whether a front cover is open or closed. When the front cover is opened by a subject, the switch detects that the cover is opened, and outputs a detection signal to a control portion. In control portion a CPU operates in response to the detection signal being received to cause a power supply switch LED to flash on and off/turn on. This indicates that of a variety of switches of a console, the type of manipulation switch that should first be operated is a power supply switch.

  • Publication number: 20070038128
    Abstract: In an electronic blood pressure monitor, a data storing portion stores data of a blood pressure obtained by blood pressure measurement in a memory in association with a condition at the time of the blood pressure measurement. An average value calculation portion calculates average blood pressure data based on a blood pressure data group measured after getting up in the memory, and also calculates average blood pressure data based on a blood pressure data group measured before going to bed in the memory. A display control portion displays a relation between the calculated average blood pressure data on a display portion in a prescribed display manner.
