Abstract

A blood pressure measurement device includes a fixed main body unit and a removable display unit. The main body unit includes a cuff mounted on a region for measurement of a living body, a control unit including a CPU for measuring a blood pressure with adjusting a pressure of the cuff, and a main body operation unit operated by a subject to externally provide instructions for a measurement operation of the control unit. The display unit includes a display memory storing data of the measurement with the control unit, a display portion displaying measurement data in the display memory, and a display operation unit operated by a subject to externally provide instructions for a display operation of the display portion. A measurement result stored in the display memory of the removable display unit can be displayed on the display portion by operating the display operation unit when the display unit is removed from the main body unit.

Claims

1. A blood pressure measurement device, comprising:

a main body unit fixed to said blood pressure measurement device and a display unit removably mounted on said blood pressure measurement device;

wherein

said main body unit includes

a cuff mounted on a region for measurement of a living body, a control unit for measuring a blood pressure of said living body with adjusting a pressure of said cuff for blood pressure measurement, and a main body operation unit operated to externally provide an instruction for a blood pressure measurement operation of said control unit,

said cuff is integrally or separately attached to said main body unit, and

said display unit includes

a storage unit for storing data of blood pressure measurement with said control unit, a display portion for displaying measurement data in said storage unit, and a display operation unit operated to externally provide an instruction for a display operation of said display portion.

2. The blood pressure measurement device according to claim 1, wherein

said display unit further includes a display-side interface for communicating with an external portion, and

reads said data in said storage unit for transmission to said external portion via said display-side interface.

3. The blood pressure measurement device according to claim 2, wherein

said display unit updates said data in said storage unit based on an instruction received from said external portion via said display-side interface.

4. The blood pressure measurement device according to claim 1, wherein

said main body unit further includes a main body-side interface for communicating with an external portion, and

reads said data in said storage unit via said main body-side interface for transmission to said external portion.

5. The blood pressure measurement device according to claim 4, wherein

said display unit further includes a display-side interface for communicating with an external portion, and

said main body unit updates said data in said storage unit via said main body-side interface and said display-side interface based on an instruction received from said external portion via said main body-side interface.

6. The blood pressure measurement device according to claim 1, wherein

said display unit and said main body unit communicate with each other via wire or wireless.
