- step S20 the control unit 122 initializes the sphygmomanometer 100. Thereby, the internal pressure of the air bag 151 of the cuff 150 is initialized.
- control unit 122 accepts input of information for selecting a user by operating the user selection switch 115D. If it is determined that the information for selecting the user has been input, the control unit 122 proceeds to step S40.
- step S40 the control unit 122 waits until the measurement switch 115B is operated. If it is determined that the measurement switch 115B has been operated, the control unit 122 advances the process to step S50.
- step S50 the control unit 122 increases the cuff pressure by causing the pump 134 to send air to the air bag 151, and proceeds to step S60.
- step S60 the control unit 122 determines whether or not the cuff pressure has reached a predetermined pressure based on the output signal of the pressure sensor 132. Then, when it is determined that it has not yet reached, the control unit 122 returns the process to step S50, and when it is determined that it has reached, the process proceeds to step S70.
- step S70 the control unit 122 gradually reduces the cuff pressure by controlling the closed valve 135 to gradually open. Then, based on the pressure pulse wave signal superimposed on the signal detected by the pressure sensor 132 during such a decompression process, the control unit 122 calculates blood pressure (maximum blood pressure and minimum blood pressure) based on a predetermined procedure in step S80. calculate. If it is determined in step S90 that blood pressure calculation has been completed (YES in step S90), the process proceeds to step S100.
- step S100 the control unit 122 displays the blood pressure value obtained in step S80 on the display unit 114, and ends the blood pressure measurement process.
- the obtained blood pressure value is stored in the memory unit 123 in association with the user who accepted the selection in step S30.
- control unit 122 controls the valve 135 to be fully opened together with the display of the blood pressure value in step S100 (or after the display), and removes air from the air bag 151.
- the sphygmomanometer 100 that measures blood pressure by the oscillometric method is shown as an example of the blood pressure measuring device, but the blood pressure measuring method in the blood pressure measuring device according to the present invention is not limited to this.
- the present invention can be applied to a blood pressure measurement device that performs blood pressure measurement by other methods (for example, a microphone method).

Abstract
Description
図1は、本発明の血圧測定装置の一実施の形態である血圧計の外観を示す斜視図である。
図2は、血圧計100の構成を示す機能ブロック図である。
図3は、血圧計100のカフ150を展開させた状態を示す図であり、図4は、図3中に示すIV-IV線に沿ったカフ150の断面図である。
図5は、血圧計100のカフ150を、測定部位に巻付けて固定した状態の一例である、被測定者の腕A(左腕)の上腕部に巻付けて固定した状態を示す。なお、図5において、矢印FRは、被測定者の正面から被測定者に向かう方向を示している。血圧計100のカフ150は、巻付強度指示部200が、正面よりも右側に位置するように、つまり、正面よりも体の内側に位置するように、測定部位に装着されることを意図している。
図10等に示されるように、窓210において、インジケータ211は、流体袋201内の複数の流体の境界線を指示するために、窓210の表面を複数の領域に区切るように設けられている。
[6-1.巻付方向に交わる方向に沿った配列]
本実施の形態の血圧計100において、巻付強度指示部200は、複数設けられることもできる。
図16は、血圧計100のカフ150において、その巻付方向に沿って複数の巻付強度指示部200D~200Fが配列された変形例を示す。図17は、図16に示した変形例のカフ150が被測定者の腕Aに巻付けられた状態を示す。
以上説明した本実施の形態では、巻付強度指示部200は、流体袋201と窓210によって構成される空間に封入された複数の流体(流体221,222)の存在態様という特性が、カフ150の測定部位に対する巻付強度が変化することによって、袋状カバー体161と空気袋151から流体袋201に加えられる力の大きさが変化することによって変化する状態を窓210を介して視認することにより、カフ150の巻付強度が適切であるか否かを視認することができた。
図19は、血圧計100において実行される血圧測定処理のフローチャートである。血圧計100では、被測定者が巻付強度指示部200(巻付強度指示部200A~200F)を視認することにより適切な強度で測定部位にカフ150を巻付けた後、電源スイッチ115A等が操作されて、血圧測定処理が実行される。なお、血圧計100では、制御部122が、メモリ部123(または、装置本体110に対して着脱可能な記録媒体)に記憶されたプログラムを実行することにより実現される。
以上説明した本実施の形態では、オシロメトリック法により血圧を測定する血圧計100が血圧測定装置の一例として示されたが、本発明に従う血圧測定装置における血圧測定方法はこれに限定されるものではなく、他の方法(たとえば、マイクロフォン法)による血圧測定を行なう血圧測定装置に対しても適用することができる。
