Blood pressure measuring apparatus

An apparatus for measuring a blood pressure of a living subject, comprising:

• a blood pressure measuring device which measures a blood pressure value of the subject;
• a first memory which accumulatively stores a plurality of blood pressure values measured by said blood pressure measuring device;
• a second memory which stores at least one pictorial image;
• an output device which outputs said pictorial image stored in said second memory, together with said blood pressure values stored in said first memory;
• an image reading device which reads an original image from an original;
• an editing device which is operable for editing said original image read by said image reading device;
• and
• a registering device which registers the image edited by said editing device, by storing the edited image as said pictorial image in said second memory.

An apparatus for measuring a blood pressure of a living subject;

• comprising:
• a blood pressure measuring device which measures a blood pressure value of the subject;
• a first memory which accumulatively stores a plurality of blood pressure values measured by said blood pressure measuring device;
• a second memory which stores a plurality of batches of medicine-related information each of which is related to a corresponding one of a plurality of medicines administrable in treating said blood pressure of the subject;
• an input device which is operable for specifying one of said medicines;
• and
• an output device which selects, from said second memory, one of said batches of medicine-related information which corresponds to said one medicine specified by said input device, and outputs the selected batch of medicine-related information, together with said blood pressure values stored in said first memory.

An apparatus for winding an arm belt including an inflatable bag, around an upper arm of a living subject, for measuring a blood pressure of the subject, a pressurized air being supplied to the bag to inflate the bag and thereby press the upper arm, the apparatus comprising:

• an arm receiver inside which said arm belt is provided so as to define a substantially cylindrical space into which the upper arm of the subject is inserted from one of opposite ends of said cylindrical space;
• a positioning device which changes a position of said arm receiver relative to the upper arm of the subject;
• a detector which detects a misalignment of a central axis line of said cylindrical space of said arm receiver from a longitudinal axis line of the upper arm of the subject;
• and
• a control device which controls, based on the misalignment detected by said detector, said positioning device to change said position of said arm receiver relative to said upper arm so that said central axis line of said arm receiver is substantially aligned with said longitudinal axis line of said upper arm.
