Non-invasive blood pressure monitoring systems

Abstract

The present invention relates to the field of non- invasive blood pressure (NIBP) monitoring systems and particularly to a system that allows the identification of other components of the system via coding elements that are readable without the need for placement of this system components to the body of a patient.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) monitoring systems, and in particular to a system that allows other components of the system to be identified via a coding element that does not require this system component to be placed on the patient's body can be read on. Background technique [0002] Blood pressure (BP) is the circulating blood right Blood vessel wall imposed pressure (per unit area of force ). Usually it involves brachial artery pressure, that is, the pressure in the aorta of the upper left or right arm. For each heartbeat, the blood pressure is at systolic blood pressure and diastolic pressure change between. Systolic blood pressure is the peak pressure in an artery when ventricle closeness of contraction Cardiac cycle Occurs at the end. Diastolic pressure is the minimum pressure in the arteries, which occurs near the beginning of the cardiac cycle when the ventricles fill with...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0009] The disadvantage of this system is that it only determines whether the cuff is suitable for a particular patient, not whether other parts of the system, such as the hose, are suitable for that patient or match the selected cuff

[0010] A further disadvantage of this system is that the identifier can only be read when an appropriately sized cuff is used and the cuff is properly wrapped around the patient's limb

The reading of this identifier may take place before the cuff is applied to the patient, but that would defeat the express purpose of US2008243010, which is to ensure the correct cuff size

[0011] Another disadvantage of this system is that the measurement can be started remotely, but the equipment to perform the measurement must be connected to the cuff via a relatively long hose

Kinks of the hose can thus occur on the way from the device to the cuff, which can distort the measured values ​​and lead to erroneous results, which in turn can lead to wrong diagnoses and thus endanger the patient
