A pressurizing/depressurizing section () performs at least one of air feeding to a cuff () by way of an air way () and air discharging by way of the air way () to thereby increase or decrease an internal pressure of the cuff (). A first controlling section () causes the pressurizing/depressurizing section () to initiate the air feeding while performing the air discharging to thereby cause the internal pressure to transit from a pressure transient state to a pressure steady state or from the pressure steady state to the pressure transient state. A determining section () determines Whether the internal pressure has transited to the pressure steady state by way of the pressure transient state. A second controlling section () causes the pressurizing/depressurizing section () to suppress or stop the air discharging while continuing the air feeding, in accordance with determination made by the determining section ().

Blood pressure measuring apparatus

A pressurizing/depressurizing section () increases or decreases an internal pressure of a cuff (). A first controlling section () controls an operation of the pressurizing/depressurizing section () so as to cause the internal pressure to transit from a pressure transient state to a pressure steady state and vice versa. A detecting section () detects the internal pressure. A storage section () stores control modes ways for increasing/decreasing the internal pressure of which are different. A determining section () determines a type of the cuff () in accordance with whether the detected internal pressure has reached the pressure steady state within a predetermined time period since start of the pressure transient state. A second controlling section () selects one of the control modes in accordance with the determined type of the cuff (), and to control the operation of the pressurizing/depressurizing section () in accordance with the selected one of the control modes.

Herein disclosed is a monitor, including: a measurement section that acquires measured values of a plurality of parameters showing a health state of a living body; a classification setting section that classifies a relationship among the measured values of the plurality of parameters into a plurality of types of detection states; a status setting section that respectively assigns any of a plurality of types of alarm statuses to the plurality of types of detection states; a state specifying section that specifies one of the plurality of types of detection states on the basis of the measured values acquired by the measurement section; and an annunciation section that outputs an alarm corresponding to the alarm status assigned to the specified detection state.
