20110092830 | METHOD FOR AUTOMATIC ERROR DETECTION IN PRESSURE MEASUREMENT AND AN ELECTRONIC SPHYGMOMANOMETER - This invention discloses a method for automatic error detection in pressure measurement and an electronic sphygmomanometer using the method. The electronic sphygmomanometer comprises two pressure sensing circuits connected to a MPU. The first pressure sensing circuit is normally-on in pressure measurement. The second pressure sensing circuit is normally-off in pressure measurement. Said normally-off pressure sensing circuit is periodically turned on in an automatic manner to measure the same pressure as the normally-on pressure sensing circuit is used to measure. Said MPU computes the difference between the pressures obtained from the two pressure sensing circuits. When the difference is greater than a given error limit, calibration error warning will be given. | 04-21-2011 |
