Blood pressure measure system
First Claim
1. A blood pressure monitor system comprising:
- pressing means for applying a pressing force to a body portion of a subject;
measuring means for increasing the pressing force of said pressing means to a predetermined level, subsequently varying said pressing force, and measuring a blood pressure of said subject during the variation of said pressing force, said measuring means repeating the blood pressure measurement;
setting means for setting a frequency at which said measuring means repeats said blood pressure measurement; and
changing means for changing a rate of increase of said pressing force depending upon the measurement frequency set by said setting means.

Abstract
A blood pressure monitor system including a pressing device for pressing a body portion of a subject, a measuring device for increasing the pressing force of the pressing device to a predetermined level, subsequently varying the pressing force, and measuring a blood pressure of the subject during the variation of the pressing force, the measuring device repeating the blood pressure measurement, a setting device for setting a frequency at which the measuring device repeats the blood pressure measurement, and a changing device for changing a rate of increase of the pressing force depending upon the measurement frequency set by the setting device. A blood pressure measure system including a pressing device for pressing a body portion of a subject, an automatic regulating device for step-wise increasing the pressing force of the pressing device to a predetermined level, the step-wise increase of the pressing force including alternate first and second periods, the pressing force being increased in each of the first periods and maintained in each of the second periods, and a measuring device for measuring a blood pressure of the subject while the pressing force is decreased after the step-wise increase.

6. A blood pressure measure system comprising:
-
pressing means for applying a pressing force to a body portion of a subject, said pressing means comprising an inflatable cuff; automatic regulating means for step-wise increasing the pressing force of said pressing means to a predetermined target level, the step-wise increase of said pressing force including alternate first and second periods which are predetermined independently of detection of a bio-signal produced from said subject in synchronism with a heartbeat of said subject, said pressing force being increased in each of said first predetermined periods and maintained in each of said second predetermined periods, said regulating means comprising an open/close valve, an air reservoir, an air pump which supplies said reservoir with pressurized air, said open/close valve being opened during each said first period so as to allow the pressurized air in said reservoir to be supplied to the cuff and thereby increase a pressure in the cuff as the pressing force of said pressing means, said open/close valve being closed during each said second period so as to maintain the cuff pressure; means for increasing, in each said second period, a pressure in said reservoir with said pressurized air from said pump, to an upper limit of a predetermined pressure range, and subsequently maintaining the reservoir pressure within said pressure range; and measuring means for measuring a blood pressure of said subject while the cuff pressure as said pressing force is decreased after said step-wise increase. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
