Abstract
A blood pressure measuring device is provided which comprises a cuff for pressuring an artery, electronic circuitry made up of a clock, control unit, and blood pressure measuring unit for measuring blood pressure and controlling the device, and a cuff pressurizing and depressurizing unit. The basic components of the device are used to effectively give the patient, through a feeling of pressure from the cuff, information such as a signal indicating the start of measurement, by momentarily pressurizing the cuff then depressurizing it. This signal can be detected by hearing imparied patients as well as healthy patients who are in a noisy environment, but can not be noticed by others in close proximity to the patient.
