Means for detecting damage to the card connecting the photosensor and main body pulsimeter
First Claim
1. A pulsimeter comprising:
- a pulse sensor portion including a photosensor formed by a light emitting portion and a light receiving portion, said photosensor adapted for contact with a human body,a main body for measuring pulse of the human body based on a quantity of light received by said light receiving portion,means connecting the photosensor and the main body, andindication means for indicating when said quantity of light exceeds a predetermined value, to give an indication of damage to the means connecting the photosensor and the main body.

Abstract
A pulsimeter comprises a pulse sensor portion including a light emitting diode and a photodiade, and a main body, the pulse sensor portion and the main body being connected through a cord. The main body includes a received light comparing circuit for comparing a quantity of light received by the photodiode with a predetermined valve, and a display device for displaying a result of the comparison. If there is no abnormality in the cord and the pulse sensor portion in normal condition is not in contact with a human body, the quantity of received light in increased to cause a light emitting diode of the display device to be turned on. On the other hand, if there is any abnormality in the cord or the pulse sensor portion, the quantity of received light is not increased and the light emitting diode is not turned on. While the pulsimeter in normal condition is being used, the light emitting diode is not turned on because of light transmission through the human body. However, if short circuit occurs in the cord, the received light comparing circuit is operated as if it is operated by an increase in the quantity of received light, causing the light emitting diode to be turned on.
