Patent number: 9433377Abstract: A sleep state management device includes a sensor that detects movement in bedding where a measurement subject is sleeping, and a control unit that calculates a peak value difference, which is a difference between adjacent peak values in a detection signal outputted from the sensor, determines that a period in which a number of times the peak value difference exceeds a threshold is greater than a predetermined value is a period in which the measurement subject has moved, and manages the sleep state of the measurement based on a result of the determination.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2012Date of Patent: September 6, 2016Assignee: OMRON HEALTHCARE Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hiroaki Aoyama, Teppei Sumino, Atsushi Sone, Hiroya Nakanishi, Takeshi Kubo

Patent number: 7611468Abstract: In wrapping a blood pressure measurement cuff enclosing therein a bladder, which is inflated when supplied with air, around a region for measurement, first, a predetermined amount of air is supplied to the bladder and then enclosed therein. Then, the blood pressure measurement cuff is wrapped around the region for measurement of a subject for the purpose of measuring his/her blood pressure. During this wrapping process, relative variations in the pressure in the bladder are sequentially detected. The time period in which the detection results indicate that the variation has not reached a predetermined threshold value, the wrapping proceeds. When the detection results indicate that the variation has reached the predetermined threshold value, the wrapping is terminated.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2005Date of Patent: November 3, 2009Assignee: Omron Healthcare Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tomonori Inoue, Yoshihiko Sano, Takahide Tanaka, Yukiya Sawanoi, Minoru Taniguchi, Hiroya Nakanishi, Takefumi Nakanishi

Patent number: 7367952Abstract: When a predetermined condition for measurement is selected from a plurality of conditions for measurement by operating one of measurement switches before measuring the blood pressure, a pressure begins to be applied to a bladder in response to the selection and the measurement of the blood pressure starts. The measured data of the blood pressure and the selected condition for measurement are linked to each other and stored in a memory. Because the measurement of the blood pressure starts upon selection of the predetermined condition by operating one of the measurement switches, one operation can serve both as switching to instruct the starting of the measurement and selecting the predetermined condition for measurement. Thus, an additional operation for inputting a condition for measurement is not necessary, and this makes it possible to prevent forgetting to input or incorrectly inputting a condition for measurement from occurring.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2005Date of Patent: May 6, 2008Assignee: Omron Healthcare Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yukiya Sawanoi, Hiroya Nakanishi, Takahide Tanaka, Osamu Shirasaki

Publication number: 20080033309Abstract: A blood pressure measurement device includes a fixed main body unit and a removable display unit. The main body unit includes a cuff mounted on a region for measurement of a living body, a control unit including a CPU for measuring a blood pressure with adjusting a pressure of the cuff, and a main body operation unit operated by a subject to externally provide instructions for a measurement operation of the control unit. The display unit includes a display memory storing data of the measurement with the control unit, a display portion displaying measurement data in the display memory, and a display operation unit operated by a subject to externally provide instructions for a display operation of the display portion. A measurement result stored in the display memory of the removable display unit can be displayed on the display portion by operating the display operation unit when the display unit is removed from the main body unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 18, 2007Publication date: February 7, 2008Applicant: OMRON HEALTHCARE Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yoshihiko Sano, Takefumi Nakanishi, Takahide Tanaka, Yukiya Sawanoi, Kenji Eda, Minoru Taniguchi, Hiroya Nakanishi, Tomonori Inoue, Tetsuya Nakada

Patent number: 7316653Abstract: A blood pressure monitor includes a main unit casing placed on a table, a living body insert portion casing of an approximately cylindrical shape, positioned on the main unit casing in a non-use state and having a cuff arranged on its inner peripheral surface, the cuff having a hollow portion to which an upper arm of a subject is inserted, and a connection mechanism for connecting the living body insert portion casing with the main unit casing in a movable manner such that, upon application of the cuff to the subject, the living body insert portion casing can move to come closer to the subject than the main unit casing. Thus, a blood pressure monitor provided with an automatic cuff winding mechanism enabling measurement of blood pressure with high accuracy, not giving unnecessary pain to the subject, and allowing measurement with an unconstrained posture can be provided.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2005Date of Patent: January 8, 2008Assignee: Omron Healthcare Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yoshihiko Sano, Takefumi Nakanishi, Takahide Tanaka, Minoru Taniguchi, Tomonori Inoue, Hiroya Nakanishi, Yukiya Sawanoi

Patent number: 7153270Abstract: A device for securing a living body by pressing includes a living body pressing air bag, a curled elastic member of an approximately cylindrical shape, disposed on the outside of the living body pressing air bag and changeable in size in a radial direction, and a curled elastic member pressing air bag, disposed on the outside of the curled elastic member and inflated to press an outer peripheral surface of the curled elastic member inward to reduce a diameter of the curled elastic member, to thereby press the living body pressing air bag against the living body via the curled elastic member. This can provide a living body pressing and securing device provided with a novel automatic cuff winding mechanism that can simplify and downsize the winding mechanism, hardly causes skin tension on the body surface, and ensures uniform winding strength over the entire surface of the pressed site.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2005Date of Patent: December 26, 2006Assignee: Omron Healthcare Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yoshihiko Sano, Minoru Taniguchi, Takahide Tanaka, Takefumi Nakanishi, Tomonori Inoue, Hiroya Nakanishi, Yukiya Sawanoi

Patent number: 7118535Abstract: Prior to blood pressure calculations, air is enclosed in a blood pressure measurement bladder to be wound and mounted around the region for measurement, in advance. By referring to the variation in the pressure therein, the circumferential length of the region for measurement is detected based on the variation in the pressure therein during the winding correction determination process for the region for measurement. Then, the process enters blood pressure measurement, and the blood pressure measurement bladder is pressurized or depressurized. The pressure in the blood pressure measurement bladder is detected. A blood pressure based on the detected pressure is calculated according to the circumferential length of the region for measurement which has been detected in advance.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2005Date of Patent: October 10, 2006Assignee: Omron Healthcare Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yukiya Sawanoi, Takahide Tanaka, Hiroya Nakanishi, Takefumi Nakanishi, Yoshihiko Sano, Minoru Taniguchi, Tomonori Inoue

Publication number: 20050283085Abstract: An electronic blood pressure monitor has a main body provided with an arm insertion portion having a throughhole and provided with a cylindrical cuff, that is provided with an elbow rest receiving an elbow of an arm inserted through and thus placed outside the arm insertion portion. The elbow rest is rotatably supported at a lower portion of a rear side of the main body by a support shaft to be positionally changeable between elbow supporting and unused positions and at the unused position it is accommodated by the main body upper than the support shaft. The elbow rest includes a proximal support, a distal support and an elbow support. When blood pressure is measured the elbow rest is set to take the elbow supporting position to receive an elbow placed outside the arm insertion portion. An advantage of a home blood pressure monitor can be maintained and accurate blood pressure measurement can also be obtained.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2005Publication date: December 22, 2005Applicant: Omron Healthcare Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tomonori Inoue, Tomoya Ishida, Hiroya Nakanishi
