Abstract
A self-diagnostic blood pressure measuring apparatus displays a diagnostic result for each of the measured systolic and diastolic pressures for warning to an user. The apparatus includes has a detector which measures systolic and diastolic pressures thereof, a display unit having first and second numeric indicators respectively for displaying individual numerical values of the measured systolic and diastolic pressures. A diagnosing circuit is included to compare the measured systolic and diastolic pressures respectively with predetermined systolic and diastolic reference ranges so as to provide a systolic warning when the systolic pressure is out of the systolic reference range and provide a diastolic warning when the diastolic pressure is out of the diastolic reference range. The display unit includes a warning display section which notify the systolic and diastolic warnings, individually. Thus, the systolic and diastolic warnings can be individually displayed together with the measured systolic and diastolic pressures appearing at the first and second numeric indicators, thereby providing detailed blood pressure information for immediate recognition by the user.
