Blood pressure measuring device
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An automatic blood pressure measuring device for measuring a patient'"'"'s blood pressure comprising a blood occluding cuff for surrounding a patient'"'"'s arm and a module electrically coupled to the cuff wherein the only coupling between the cuff and the module consists of an electrical coupling;
- the cuff containing a housing enclosing a pump which pneumatically communicates with the cuff for inflating the cuff, a valve pneumatically communicating with the cuff for deflating the cuff and a pressure transducer communicating with the cuff for deriving electrical signals indicative of cuff pressure;
the module electrically coupled to the cuff comprising an electrical controlling and signal processing means for remotely controlling the cuff pressure and for processing derived pressure signals wherein the valve is electrically activated to close or open by the remote controlling and processing means and wherein the pump is electronically activated to inflate the cuff and deactivated to allow cuff deflation by the remote controlling and processing means.
