  • Publication number: 20220218216
    Abstract: The present invention provides a sphygmomanometer that can create, before measuring a blood pressure, a state for making a blood pressure measurement accurate. A sphygmomanometer includes a fluid circuit and a control unit. The control unit has a first preparation processing unit, a second preparation processing unit, and a measurement processing unit which operate in a worn state of the sphygmomanometer. The first preparation processing unit operates a pressing cuff to discharge remaining fluid in a sensing cuff to the atmosphere through the fluid circuit. Then, the second preparation processing unit causes the sensing cuff to store a predetermined amount of pressure transmitting fluid received from a pump through the fluid circuit.
