Abstract

An externally-connected expandable blood pressure meter includes an electronic blood pressure meter which has a measuring unit to output an inspected signal based on a measured blood pressure and a processing unit to receive the inspected signal and execute signal transformation according to an output interface, and an external connection port located on the electronic blood pressure meter and electrically connected to the processing unit to provide a single expansion output device to output inspected results contained in the inspected signal. The output interface is located on the expansion output device.

Claims

1. An externally-connected expandable blood pressure meter, comprising:

an electronic blood pressure meter which has a measuring unit to output an inspected signal based on a measured blood pressure and a processing unit to receive the inspected signal and execute signal transformation according to an output interface; and
