Blood pressure measuring apparatus
First Claim
1. An apparatus for measuring a blood pressure value of a living subject, comprising:
- a blood pressure measuring device which measures, in each of a plurality of measuring operations, at least one blood pressure value of the subject including a systolic blood pressure value of the subject;
a first storing means for storing a set of blood pressure data which represents said at least one blood pressure value measured in said each measuring operation of said blood pressure measuring device, and a date and a time when said each measuring operation is carried out by said blood pressure measuring device, so that said first storing means stores a plurality of sets of blood pressure data corresponding to said plurality of measuring operations;
a second storing means for storing a first one of said sets of blood pressure data which belongs to a first predetermined number of successive sets of blood pressure data including an oldest set of blood pressure data which are stored in said first storing means;
a third storing means for storing a second one of said sets of blood pressure data which belongs to a second predetermined number of successive sets of blood pressure data including a second latest set of blood pressure data which are stored in said first storing means;
a fourth storing means for storing a third one of said sets of blood pressure data which represents at least one blood pressure value including a highest systolic blood pressure value of the respective systolic blood pressure values represented by said sets of blood pressure data except for said first and second sets of blood pressure data;
a fifth storing means for storing a fourth one of said sets of blood pressure data which represents at least one blood pressure value including a lowest systolic blood pressure value of the respective systolic blood pressure values represented by said sets of blood pressure data except for said first and second sets of blood pressure data; and
a recording device which records, on a recording medium, (a) a graphic representation comprising a plurality of first symbols each of which is indicative of the at least one blood pressure value represented by a corresponding one of said sets of blood pressure data, in an order of said measuring operations, (b) a list containing the at least one blood pressure value, date, and time represented by each of said first, second, third, and fourth sets of blood pressure data, and (c) a second symbol in association with each of the four first symbols corresponding to said first, second, third, and fourth sets of blood pressure data, in said graphic representation.

Abstract
A blood pressure (BP) measuring apparatus including a first device for storing a set of BP data representing at least one BP value measured in a measuring operation, and a date and a time when the measuring operation is effected, thereby storing sets of BP data corresponding to measuring operations, a second device for storing a first one of the sets of BP data which belongs to a first number of sets of BP data which have early been stored by the first device, a third device for storing a second one of the sets of BP data which belongs to a second number of sets of BP data which have lately been stored by the first device, a fourth device for storing a third one of the sets of BP data which represents at least one BP value including a highest systolic BP value, a fifth device for storing a fourth one of the sets of BP data which represents at least one BP value including a lowest systolic BP value, and a recording device for recording (a) a graphic representation including first symbols each of which is indicative of the BP value represented by a corresponding one of the sets of BP data, in the order of the measuring operations, (b) a list containing the BP value, date, and time represented by each of the first to fourth sets of BP data, and (c) a second symbol in association with each of the four first symbols corresponding to the first to fourth sets of BP data, in the graphic representation.
