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.

Abstract: A control unit (10) determines a level of sleep of a subject on the basis of biological information measured by a biological information measuring unit (30), and the control unit (10) starts blood pressure measurement of the subject when determining that the determined level of sleep satisfies a predetermined condition. The control unit (10) stores result of the blood pressure measurement in a memory (11).

Abstract: A blood pressure measuring apparatus controls a winding mechanism in parallel with increase or decrease of a pressure of a measuring fluid bladder after the measuring fluid bladder is wound around a measurement region. Therefore, a change in a winding state of the measuring fluid bladder is prevented. Additionally, measurement accuracy is improved by keeping compliance of the measuring fluid bladder constant.

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 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.

Abstract: In an electronic blood pressure monitor, an input of measurement condition specifying information for specifying a measurement condition at blood pressure measurement among a plurality of measurement conditions, such as an input of time information, is received. Based on the received measurement condition specifying information, at least one measurement condition of a patient at blood pressure measurement is determined. A calculated blood pressure value is recorded by being associated with the measurement condition determined as such.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Abstract: An electronic blood pressure monitor includes a display and a console. The console has a plurality of manipulation switches. The display has displaying areas associated with the manipulation switches, respectively, for displaying indications provided as the manipulation switches are operated. In operation, the electronic blood pressure monitor displays on display in a predetermined area a blood pressure value obtained by measuring blood pressure. The console has a user selection switch group, a measuring switch and a record recalling switch, and these manipulation switches and the displaying areas provided on the display and associated with the switches are adjacently arranged, respectively.

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.

Abstract: A blood pressure monitor includes a switch for designating a user who is a subject. The switch for designating a user also serves as a power switch. When this switch is pressed as the first step for blood pressure measurement, the blood pressure monitor is turned on. The blood pressure monitor does not operate even when a switch for blood pressure measurement operation or a switch for display of recorded past measurement values is pressed before the switch for designating a user is pressed.

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.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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.
