Description

Specification

Sphygmomanometer cuff

Technical field

The present invention relates to a sphygmomanometer force wound around an upper arm when measuring a blood pressure value using a sphygmomanometer.

Background art

In recent years, blood pressure monitors have been widely used for early detection of lifestyle-related diseases caused by high blood pressure and blood pressure management. Normally, when measuring blood pressure, a cuff containing a fluid bag that compresses an artery is wrapped around the body surface, and the wrapped fluid bag is inflated and contracted to detect arterial pressure pulse waves generated in the artery. In this way, blood pressure is measured.

[0003] Here, the cuff means a band-like structure having a lumen, which can be wound around a living body to be measured (for example, an upper arm or a wrist), and is a fluid such as a gas or a liquid. It is used to measure arterial pressure in the upper and lower limbs by injecting into the lumen. Therefore, the cuff is a word indicating a concept including a fluid bag and a brazing member for winding the fluid bag around a living body, and is sometimes called an armband or a manchette.

[0004] Normally, the cuff attached to the upper arm is provided with an exterior member, and an air bag as a fluid bag is accommodated in the exterior member, and the exterior member is used for wrapping and fixing to the upper arm. A locking member is provided. References disclosing such a cuff configuration include, for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 7-24304 (Patent Document 1), Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 62-213730 (Patent Document 2), and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-159968. Patent Document 3). A hook-and-loop fastener is generally used as the locking member. Since the circumference of the upper arm varies from subject to subject, the use of a hook-and-loop fastener makes it possible to lock the circumferential ends of the exterior member wound around the upper arm at an arbitrary position, so that it can be fixed around the upper arm. Later, the cuff can be attached to the upper arm without any gaps.

[0005] In the cuff for a sphygmomanometer intended to be wound around the upper arm, the central portion of the air bag in the winding direction around the upper arm, that is, the longitudinal direction of the cuff when the cuff is unfolded It is preferred that the cuff is positioned and fixed with respect to the upper arm so that it is located directly above the upper arm aorta located under the upper arm U, U. When the cuff is correctly positioned and wound and fixed on the upper arm in this way, the central portion in the longitudinal direction of the air bag, which is the most inflated portion in the thickness direction, and the brachial aorta should be placed close to each other. As a result, the brachial aorta can be efficiently and reliably compressed and blocked with an air bag. Therefore, the blood pressure value can be measured with high accuracy.

[0006] However, since the air bag is housed inside the exterior member while being pressed, it is very difficult to position and wind the air bag in the longitudinal direction at a predetermined position on the upper arm as described above. It is. In order to solve this problem, it is known that the surface of the cuff exterior member is provided with a positioning mark. In the cuff, it is intended that the cuff is positioned and attached to the upper arm by the subject so that the mark is positioned on the extension line of the middle finger of the arm around which the cuff is wound. . Here, since the brachial aorta is usually located on the trunk side (that is, the chest side) of the upper arm, the central portion in the longitudinal direction of the air bag has a predetermined mark force provided on the exterior member in advance. They are spaced apart.

Problems to be solved by the invention

[0007] However, with a conventional sphygmomanometer cuff, if the subject pulls one end of the cuff to fix the cuff when worn, the cuff rotates on the upper arm, At the time of locking with the fastener, the force was not transmitted well to the cuff, making it difficult to lock, and as a result, the mounting work was complicated. For this reason, when a test subject who is unfamiliar with wearing is used, a gap is created between the cuff and the upper arm after being fixed around the upper arm, and a proper wearing state cannot be obtained, and a case may arise. When the measurement is performed in such a state, the uniform compression of the upper arm by the air bag cannot be realized, and the measurement accuracy is adversely affected. [0008] In addition, in the sphygmomanometer cuff having the positioning mark as described above, the work of winding the cuff around the upper arm is still complicated. In other words, when the subject himself / herself wears the cuff on the upper arm and tries to attach the cuff to the upper arm in advance, if the subject's force S one end of the cuff is pulled to fix the cuff, the cuff will accompany it. As a result, the upper arm rotates and a positional shift occurs. For this reason, after the winding is fixed, it is necessary to perform an operation for rotating the cuff again on the upper arm so that the mark is arranged at a desired position, and the mounting operation itself is not necessarily facilitated.

[0009] Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object thereof is to provide a sphygmomanometer cuff that facilitates mounting work on the upper arm. Another object is to provide a sphygmomanometer cuff in which an air bag enclosed in an exterior member can be reliably positioned with respect to the upper arm.

It is preferable that a curved elastic plate for urging the fluid bag is further provided. In this case, it is preferable that the protruding tongue piece includes at least a portion where the curved elastic plate force extends continuously! /.

With this configuration, the protruding tongue piece can be easily elastically deformed by a part of the curved elastic plate. Further, by forming a part of the protruding tongue piece with the curved elastic plate for urging the fluid bag to the upper arm, it is possible to reduce the number of parts without requiring an additional elastic plate.

[0018] In the sphygmomanometer cuff according to the present invention, in the state where the sphygmomanometer cuff is attached to the upper arm, the protruding portion protrudes toward the elbow side of the arm on which the cuff is attached. In this case, it is preferable that the protrusion is configured to be held by the forearm and the upper arm inside the elbow of the arm to which the cuff is attached when the cuff is attached.

[0019] With this configuration, the protrusion can be held by the forearm and the upper arm inside the elbow of the arm to which the cuff is attached, so that the rotation of the sphygmomanometer cuff can be reliably prevented during the attachment. It becomes like this.

[0020] In the sphygmomanometer cuff according to the present invention, in a state in which the sphygmomanometer cuff is attached to the upper arm, the protruding portion protrudes toward the shoulder side of the arm side to which the cuff is attached. In this case, it is preferable that the protruding portion is configured to be held by the upper arm and the trunk under the arm-side arm to which the cuff is attached when the cuff is attached.

In this case, it is preferable that the protrusion is configured to cover the outer side of the elbow of the arm to which the cuff is attached when the cuff is attached.

[0023] With this configuration, by attaching the elbow of the arm to which the cuff is to be attached to a table such as a desk, it becomes possible to press and hold the protruding portion against the table. Rotation of the sphygmomanometer cuff can be reliably prevented.

[0024] It is preferable that the sphygmomanometer cuff according to the present invention further includes a mark for positioning when worn on the upper arm.

With this configuration, it is possible to easily position the cuff with respect to the upper arm using a mark when temporarily holding the cuff. In addition, the cuff does not rotate on the upper arm when the cuff is wound and fixed after positioning, so that the correct mounting position is maintained. Therefore, positioning at the time of wearing is facilitated and blood pressure values can be measured with high accuracy.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the embodiment shown below, the present invention is applied to a sphygmomanometer cuff provided in an oscillometric upper arm sphygmomanometer that is intended to employ the upper arm of the left arm as a measurement site. An example will be described.

[0030] (Embodiment 1)

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an external appearance of a sphygmomanometer according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. First, the external structure of the sphygmomanometer in the present embodiment will be described with reference to this figure.

As shown in FIG. 1, a sphygmomanometer 100 according to the present embodiment includes an apparatus main body 110 and a cuff 150.

Mainly with A. The apparatus main body 110 includes a display unit 114 and an operation unit 115.

. The display unit 114 displays the measurement results of blood pressure and pulse rate as numerical values and graphs. Use it for visual recognition. As the display unit 114, for example, a liquid crystal panel or the like is used. The operation unit 115 is provided with, for example, a power button and a measurement start button.

[0032] The cuff 150A is intended to be wound around the upper arm of the subject's left arm, and has a belt-like outer shape. The cuff 150A includes an air bag 151 (see FIG. 2, FIG. 4, FIG. 5, FIG. 8, etc.) as a fluid bag for compressing the upper arm, and an exterior member for winding the air bag 151 around the upper arm and fixing it. As a bag-like cover body 160. The air bag 151 is accommodated in a space provided inside the bag-like cover body 160. The detailed structure of the cuff 150A will be described later.

[0033] The cuff 150A and the apparatus main body 110 are connected by an air pipe 140 as a connection pipe. The air tube 140 also has a flexible tube force, and one end is connected to a blood pressure measurement air system component 131 (see FIG. 2) provided in the apparatus main body 110 described later, and the other end is the air bag of the cuff 150A described above. Connected to 151!

FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram showing the configuration of the sphygmomanometer according to the present embodiment. Next, the configuration of the main functional blocks of the sphygmomanometer in the present embodiment will be described with reference to this figure.

[0035] As shown in FIG. 2, blood pressure measurement air for supplying or discharging air to / from an air bag 151 contained in a cuff 150A via an air tube 140 is provided inside the apparatus main body 110 of the sphygmomanometer 100. A system component 131 is provided. The air system component 131 for blood pressure measurement includes a pressure sensor 132 that is a pressure detection unit that detects the pressure in the air bag 151, and a pump 134 and a valve 135 that are an expansion / contraction mechanism 133 for expanding and contracting the air bag 151. included. In addition, an oscillation circuit 125, a pump drive circuit 126, and a valve drive circuit 127 are provided in the apparatus main body 110 in association with the blood system component 131 for blood pressure measurement.

[0036] Further, the apparatus main body 110 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 122 for controlling and monitoring each part, various programs such as a program for causing the CPU 122 to perform a predetermined operation, and a measured blood pressure value. A memory unit 123 for storing information, a display unit 114 for displaying various types of information including blood pressure measurement results, an operation unit 115 operated to input various instructions for measurement, and a CPU 122 And power to supply power to each functional block A source 124 is installed. The CPU 122 also functions as a blood pressure value calculation unit for calculating the blood pressure value.

The pressure sensor 132 detects the pressure in the air bladder 151 (hereinafter referred to as “cuff pressure”), and outputs a signal corresponding to the detected pressure to the oscillation circuit 125. The pump 134 supplies air to the air bag 151. The valve 135 opens and closes when maintaining the pressure in the air bag 151 or discharging the air in the air bag 151. The oscillation circuit 125 outputs a signal having an oscillation frequency corresponding to the output value of the pressure sensor 132 to the CPU 122. The pump drive circuit 126 controls the drive of the pump 134 based on a control signal given from the CPU 122. The valve drive circuit 127 performs opening / closing control of the valve 135 based on a control signal given from the CPU 122.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the flow of blood pressure measurement processing of the sphygmomanometer according to the present embodiment. Next, the flow of blood pressure measurement processing in the sphygmomanometer in the present embodiment will be described with reference to this figure. The program according to this flowchart is stored in advance in the memory unit 123 shown in FIG. 2, and the blood pressure measurement process is performed by the CPU 122 reading out this program from the memory unit 123 and executing it.

[0039] As shown in FIG. 3, when the subject turns on the power by operating the operation button of the operation unit 115 of the sphygmomanometer 100, the sphygmomanometer 100 is initialized (step Sl). Next, when measurement is possible, the CPU 122 starts driving the pump 134 and gradually increases the cuff pressure of the air bladder 151 (step S2). In the process of gradually increasing the cuff pressure, when the cuff pressure reaches a predetermined level necessary for blood pressure measurement, the CPU 122 stops the pump 134 and then gradually opens the valve 135 that has been closed to open the air bag. The air of 151 is gradually exhausted, and the cuff pressure is gradually reduced (step S3), and the cuff pressure is detected during the slow depressurization process of the cuff pressure.

Next, the CPU 122 calculates blood pressure values (maximum blood pressure value, minimum blood pressure value) by a known procedure (step S4). Specifically, in the process of gradually reducing the cuff pressure, the CPU 122 extracts pulse wave information based on the oscillation frequency obtained from the oscillation circuit 125. Then, a blood pressure value is calculated from the extracted pulse wave information. When the blood pressure value is calculated in step S4, the calculated blood pressure value is displayed on the display unit 114 (step S5). The measurement method described above is a so-called decompression method that detects a pulse wave and calculates a blood pressure value when the air bag is decompressed. Although based on the measurement method, it is naturally possible to adopt a so-called pressurization measurement method in which a pulse wave is detected and the blood pressure value is calculated when the air bag is pressurized.
