| 20110015531 | ELECTRONIC BLOOD PRESSURE GAUGE FOR MEASURING BLOOD PRESSURE BY USING VOLUME COMPENSATION METHOD - An electronic sphygmomanometer, which measures blood pressure in accordance with the volume compensation method, detects a cuff pressure inside a cuff attached to a measurement site of the blood pressure.
