Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] This invention is a so-called medical examination system (medical examination system).
The present invention relates to an automatic blood pressure measuring device used for.

Terminal devices in this type of medical examination system are often configured by combining units that are standardized for each function.

Although this method provides versatility in unit combinations, it tends to increase the number of constituent units and increase costs.

In addition, particularly when the number of constituent units is large, the arrangement of monitors on the panels may also be disorganized, resulting in inconvenience in use.

This invention was developed based on these circumstances, and by configuring the necessary functions all at once, it not only reduces assembly man-hours and costs, but also particularly improves ease of use and measurement efficiency. The purpose of the present invention is to provide an automatic blood pressure measuring device that can improve blood pressure.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, 1 is a blood pressure monitor body that measures the blood pressure of a subject and outputs the measured value as an analog and digital defined air signal according to the blood pressure, and 2 is a controller that has an online control function and is configured as described below. , 3 is a recorder, such as a pen-type automatic balance type recorder, which records analog changes in the measured values output from the blood pressure monitor main body 1 on recording paper, and 4 is connected to the controller when an online system is configured. It is a computer that is

The controller 2 is configured as follows.

That is, 5 is a counting memory circuit that counts digital measurement signals from the blood pressure monitor body 1 to obtain digital measurement value data and temporarily stores this measurement value data; 6 is a measurement value;
Printer for printing patient number, date, etc.
7 is an interface for outputting data such as the measured value, patient number, date, etc. to the computer 4 and for inputting message comments from the computer 4, and 8 is a measured value display for displaying the measured value.

Reference numeral 9 denotes a transfer controller that controls data transfer operations such as print recording of each data by the printer 6 and data output from the counting memory circuit 5 to the interface 7 for outputting data to the computer 4. 9 can perform both the data transfer operation arbitrarily by manual operation and, for example, automatically perform the data transfer operation depending on the measured diameter.

10 is an ID card reader that reads the patient number from an ID card inserted for each patient; 11 is a recipient number display that displays the patient number read by the ID card reader 10; and 12 is date data. A date switch 13 includes a digital switch for inputting information, and a message display 13 displays messages indicating the start and end of the examination, message comments from the computer 4, and the like.

Further, numeral 14 controls the transfer controller 9 to select whether to perform the data transfer operation manually or to automatically perform the data transfer operation as desired. This is an automatic/manual switching device for

The operation in such a configuration will be described below.

This device basically consists of the blood pressure monitor body 1, the controller 2, and the recorder 3 as described above, and is connected to the computer 4 when online.

First, in the sphygmomanometer body 1, the measured pressure of the cuff wrapped around the subject's arm and pressurized is converted into a pressure-to-electricity transducer that converts the pressure corresponding to the blood pressure value at that time into analog and digital definitions. It is converted into a signal and output.

This output signal from the blood pressure monitor body 1 is input to the controller 2.

Digital signals input to the controller 2 are counted by a counting memory circuit 5 within the controller 2 and temporarily stored in the form of measured value data.

Further, the analog signal output from the blood pressure monitor body 1 is directly sent to the recorder 3 and recorded on recording paper.

In this case, the recorder 3 is configured as a separate unit from the controller 2 and combined by cable connection, and can be excluded from the standard configuration when unnecessary.

The measured value data temporarily stored in the counting memory circuit 5 is output to the printer 6 and also to the interface 7 when there is a print command from the transfer controller 9.
It is also directly output to the computer 4 side via.

Further, as output data to the computer 4 side via the printer 6 and the ink face 7, in addition to the measured value data from the counting memory circuit 5, the ID card reader 1
There is also data such as the patient number read from the ID card of each recipient inserted in 0, and the date manually entered from the date switch 12, and each of these data is also used as the measurement value data. At the same time, it is output in a predetermined format I.

The patient number read by the ID card reader 10 is also directly displayed on the patient number display 11.

The printing of data by the printer 6 and the transfer operation to the computer 4 are performed by automatically outputting data from the counting memory circuit 5 and the like in response to a start signal being output from the transfer controller 9. .

By the way, when recording by the printer 6 and outputting to the computer 4, since the measured values by the blood pressure monitor body 1 are slightly affected by the measurement conditions, a specialized examiner is assigned and the conditions during the measurement are taken into consideration. It is necessary to perform the above transfer operation after confirming the measured value.

Therefore, normally, the automatic/manual switching device 14 sets the transfer controller 9 in a manual operation mode, and after the measured value is confirmed, printing by the printer 6 and data transfer to the computer 4 are performed.

In addition to performing the transfer operation manually as described above, if the quality of the data is confirmed even during measurement, the transfer controller 9 can be switched to the automatic mode by operating the automatic/manual switching device 14. After the measurement, data can be automatically transferred by the printer 6 to the printer and the computer 4 by switching to .

In this way, the inspector can automatically/
By using the manual switching device 14 to perform the transfer operation automatically or manually, it becomes possible to efficiently repeat measurement records even when there are a large number of patients.

The message display 13 also displays comments given from the computer 4 via the interface 7 when starting an examination or regarding the content of data output to the computer 4.

For example, (a), r, "Please insert your ID card" (indicates that the test can start), (b) "Please test again" (when there is an abnormality in the output data),
(C) "Your patient number is incorrect" (when it differs from the registration number), (d) "Please remove your R card" (indicates the completion of the test), etc. If the tester is online, the tester will not be able to interact with the computer. The measurement operation will be performed while

The measured value display 8 is for displaying the measured blood pressure value, but if there is a similar display within the blood pressure monitor main body 1, there is no need to provide it redundantly.

In this way, by effectively combining the functions necessary for blood pressure measurement, it is possible to create an appropriate configuration that is simple and free of waste, and also allows for easy measurement operations and extremely efficient measurement. This has a very significant practical effect of making it possible.

In addition to configuring the blood pressure monitor main body 1, controller 2, and recorder 3 described above as separate units with cable connections, it is also possible to incorporate them into a single housing to form a single unit. The blood pressure monitor main body 1 and the recorder 3 are built into the same housing and this is combined with the controller 2, or the blood pressure monitor main body 1 and the controller 2 are built into the same housing and this is combined with the recorder 3. Such,
Various combinations can be made in consideration of usability, cost, etc.

In addition, it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above and shown in the drawings, but can be implemented with various modifications without changing the gist thereof.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide an automatic blood pressure measuring device that is not only advantageous in terms of assembly man-hours and costs, but also improves ease of use and measurement efficiency.
