Publication number: 20110306888Abstract: When a start timing of an individual measurement control arrives, the pressurization control is started and a maximum blood pressure (blood pressure characteristic value) is estimated based on blood pressure characteristics information obtained during the pressurization control. The presence or absence of blood pressure fluctuation is determined based on the maximum blood pressure estimated this time and the (estimated) maximum blood pressure up to the previous times. The actual measurement process of the blood pressure is executed when determined that the blood pressure fluctuation is present. The actual measurement process is canceled when determined that the blood pressure fluctuation is absent.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 19, 2011Publication date: December 15, 2011Applicant: OMRON HEALTHCARE CO., LTD.Inventors: Tatsuya Kobayashi, Tomonori Inoue

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: 7182732Abstract: Provide is a blood pressure meter cuff capable of avoiding an influence of an edge effect by pressurizing only a portion of a blood vessel in the downward vicinity of the body surface to thereby measure a correct blood pressure. A blood pressure meter cuff 1 includes: a fluid bag into which a fluid is injected; and a fixing tool fixing the fluid bag on a limb of a human body or the like, wherein a width in the axial direction of the limb, of the fluid bag is a value suitable for selectively pressurizing only a portion of a blood vessel present in the downward vicinity of the skin. In a case where pressurization is imposed on only a portion of the radial artery present in the downward vicinity of the body surface and adjacent to a radial styloid process of a wrist, a width, in the axial direction of a limb, of the fluid bag is set to 15 mm or more and 25 mm or less.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2006Date of Patent: February 27, 2007Assignee: Omron Healthcare Co., Ltd.Inventors: Osamu Shirasaki, Yoshihiko Sano, Toshio Ohtani, Tomonori Inoue
