20110230729 | BLOOD PRESSURE MEASUREMENT DEVICE FOR MEASURING AT APPROPRIATE TIMING - A blood pressure measurement device includes a finger cuff for measuring a blood oxygen saturation level of a subject as physiological information excluding a blood pressure, a pulse wave detecting portion, and an oxygen saturation level calculating portion, where a start of blood pressure measurement in a sphygmomanometer is determined by a comparing and determining portion when a value becomes greater than or equal to a reference value. After the end of the measurement, a time limit for limiting the start of the blood pressure measurement is set. The comparing and determining portion determines not to start the blood pressure measurement within the time limit even if the blood oxygen saturation level becomes greater than or equal to the reference value. | 09-22-2011 |
