Abstract
A system (1) for blood pressure measurement at the point of care comprises a blood pressure measuring device (10) for measuring the blood pressure of an individual (I) and seat (20) for properly positioning the individual (I). The seat (20) includes means (21) for ensuring correct position of the individual'"'"'s feet and legs. The blood pressure measuring device (10) is arranged at a location (12) physically separated from a data collecting device (30). The blood pressure measuring device (10) is provided with a communication interface (11) for transmitting data to the collecting device (30).

28. A system for blood pressure measurement, in particular for measurement at a point of care, the system comprising
a blood pressure measuring device for measuring the blood pressure of an individual a seat for said individual adapted for properly seating said individual for correct blood pressure measurements, wherein said seat includes means for ensuring correct position of the individual'"'"'s feet.

29. A system for blood pressure measurement, the system comprising
a blood pressure measuring device for measuring the blood pressure of a patient, said blood pressure measuring device having a communication interface for transmission of measured blood pressure data, a data collection device having a communication interface for receiving data transmitted by said blood pressure measuring device, wherein said data collection device is arranged at a location physically separated from a location of said blood pressure measuring device in such a way that a direct contact between a doctor or a care person and the individual during blood pressure measurement can be prevented.

31. A system for blood pressure measurement, the system comprising
a blood pressure measuring unit a first cuff for blood pressure measurement, adapted to be placed around a patient'"'"'s left arm and connected to or connectable to said unit and a second cuff for blood pressure measurement, adapted to be placed around a patient'"'"'s right arm and connected to or connectable to said unit, wherein the blood pressure measurement unit is provided with means for parallel measurement of the blood pressure with said first and said second cuff, in particular for simultaneous measurement.
-
45. A method for blood pressure measurement of an individual at a point of care, comprising the steps of
placing said individual at a location in such a way that there is no direct contact between the individual and a doctor or care person during blood pressure measurement automatically carrying out a blood pressure measurement of said individual with a blood pressure measuring device in absence of a doctor or a care person for gathering blood pressure data transmitting said blood pressure data to a data collection device arranged at a location physically separated from said blood pressure measuring device.
- 47. A method for blood pressure measurement of an individual at a point of care, wherein prior to blood pressure measurement, in a judgement step a judgement is made as to whether or not this is the individual'"'"'s initial visit.
-
54. A method for determining the blood pressure of an individual, wherein measurement of the blood pressure of the individual is carried out on the individual'"'"'s left and right arm simultaneously with a first cuff placed around a patient'"'"'s left arm and with a second cuff for blood pressure measurement placed around the patient'"'"'s right arm,
whereby in a first step, the first and the second cuff each are inflated to a preset pressure and whereby in a second step, the pressure within the cuffs is individually reduced by activation of a deflation valve associated with each of the cuffs, wherein the deflation rate of each of the deflation valves is set in such a way that the total time for inflation and deflation for both cuffs is the same.
