Abstract: A blood pressure measurement device includes a finger cuff for measuring a blood oxygen saturation level of a subject as physiological information excluding a blood pressure, a pulse wave detecting portion, and an oxygen saturation level calculating portion, where a start of blood pressure measurement in a sphygmomanometer is determined by a comparing and determining portion when a value becomes greater than or equal to a reference value. After the end of the measurement, a time limit for limiting the start of the blood pressure measurement is set. The comparing and determining portion determines not to start the blood pressure measurement within the time limit even if the blood oxygen saturation level becomes greater than or equal to the reference value.

Abstract: A connector body includes two latch plates which detachably fix different connector bodies. The two latch plates are configured to be able to fix the one connector body to the other connector body at a step portion on the other connector body. The step portion is at a position which is different from an airtight portion of an O-ring used to establish airtightness between a fluid path of a connector chassis and a fluid path of the other connector body. Therefore, a blood-pressure measuring device is obtained in which a blood-pressure measuring device main body and a cuff are easily connected while damage of a tube or a piping component can be prevented.

Abstract: In a sphygmomanometer (1), a measurement value in a blood pressure measurement unit (16) and a measurement time are corresponded and stored in a blood pressure storage unit (17). When a measurement data process program is executed in CPU (11), the measurement value is extracted from the blood pressure storage unit based on a time the program is executed. The extracted measurement values in a plurality of measurement dates are integrated, and are used for a process of calculating a blood pressure average value for every period of time, and a process for obtaining a blood pressure variation curve.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A blood pressure measurement unit measures the blood pressure and a CPU accordingly stores, in a blood pressure storage unit, measurement data as well as time information regarding the time at which the blood pressure is measured. The CPU calculates, as representative measurement data, the average of a plurality of measurement data stored in the blood pressure storage unit and correlated with the time information indicating a time in the range between nine weeks ago and ten weeks ago, correlates the representative measurement data with time information representing the corresponding week and stores the data with the time information in the blood pressure storage unit. At this time, the CPU deletes from the blood pressure storage unit those measurement data based on which the representative measurement data is calculated.

Abstract: A blood pressure measuring apparatus oppresses blood vessels of a human body by an inflating unit through a cuff. When the blood vessels are oppressed through the cuff, a pulse wave superposed on a cuff pressure signal through a cuff pressure detector is detected by a pulse wave detector. The waveform of the detected pulse wave changes similarly to changes of pressure in the oppressed blood vessels in one heartbeat period. The information of the detected pulse wave waveform and the cuff pressure at this time are stored in a memory.
