Disclosed is ischemic precondition treatment equipment and a use and method thereof for judging health condition of blood vessels. A gas way structure (4) is arranged inside a shell of ischemic precondition training treatment equipment. The gas way structure comprises a 5-way device (43). The 5-way device (43) is connected to a left gas pump (41), a right gas pump (42), a left solenoid valve (44), a right solenoid valve (45) and a release valve (48), respectively. The gas way structure (4) can rapidly bring a pressure of an armband airbag to the set pressure value in a short period of time, which is effective in relieving the patients' discomfort and pain when used. It is suitable for long-term use for training. In addition, it also can judge the health condition of blood vessels.

BLOOD PRESSURE MEASUREMENT CUFF AND SPHYGMOMANOMETER
A blood pressure measurement cuff includes a clamp mechanism that sandwiches a measurement site. The clamp mechanism includes a first clamp portion having a shape that is curved along a first half of the measurement site and a second clamp portion having a shape that is curved along a second half of the measurement site. The slide hole is formed penetrating through one end portion of the first clamp portion. The slide bar extends from the one end portion of the second clamp portion and into the slide hole, fits therein, and slides with friction with respect to the slide hole. The slide hole and the slide bar are curved so as to protrude on a side near other end portions of the first clamp portion and the second clamp portion.
Suprasystolic measurement in a fast blood-pressure cycle
Disclosed herein is a system for monitoring a patient that includes a cuff configured to inflate to at least partially occlude an artery of the patient and a cuff controller configured to inflate the cuff during a dynamic phase and generally maintain inflation of the cuff at about a target pressure during a static phase. The system also includes a sensor configured to receive a signal associated with the at least partially occluded artery and generate an output signal based on the received signal, and a cuff control module configured to determine the target pressure during the dynamic phase and based on the output signal, and control the cuff controller during the dynamic phase and the static phase.

Method and device for inflating a cuff of a non-invasive blood pressure measurement apparatus
A method for inflating a cuff of a non-invasive blood pressure measurement apparatus includes obtaining a plurality of pressure values of the cuff at a plurality of time points; calculating a first inflation speed parameter on the basis of the plurality of pressure values, a plurality of target pressure values of the cuff at the plurality of time points and a plurality of inflation speed parameters corresponding to each time interval between every two adjacent time points of the plurality of time points; and inflating the cuff at a speed corresponding to the first inflation speed parameter from a last time point of the plurality of time points to a first time point after the plurality of time points. In this way, uniform cuff inflation can be achieved when the target pressure values of the cuff change uniformly, so that the over-voltage phenomenon or the condition of low-speed cuff inflation can be reduced or eliminated. By introducing the plurality of pressure values, even if there is a big error in a cuff pressure value obtained at a certain time point, it is still possible to control the cuff inflation correctly.

Method and device for determining at least one physiological parameter
The method serves to determine at least one physiological parameter of a patient. A pulse measurement signal of a pulse pressure wave propagating within the blood vessels and emanating from the heart is acquired at a pulse measurement point. A corrected pulse measurement signal is produced from the acquired pulse measurement signal by means of signal processing. The at least one physiological parameter is ascertained on the basis of the corrected pulse measurement signal. For the purposes of producing the corrected pulse measurement signal, the acquired pulse measurement signal is subjected to adaptive filtering with a dynamically adapting filter characteristic in order to compensate the influence of a reflected component of the pulse pressure wave.
Smart Tourniquet
A smart tourniquet includes a casing having a control unit; a contact area arranged to the casing, configured to contact a patient's skin, and connected to the control unit; a cuff arranged to the casing with an inflatable bladder; an adjustable strap arranged to the cuff for securing the cuff and casing to the patient; a pump contained in the casing, connected to the bladder, and controlled by the control unit; a thermoelectric module contained in the casing, controlled by the control unit, and connected to the contact area; and at least one sensor contained in the casing for detecting blood pulse and controlled by the control unit. The control unit is configured to inflate and deflate the bladder in response to blood pulse for changing a pressure around an arm or leg and to heat the contact area for vasodilating a vein under the patient's skin for visual detection.
METHOD AND MEASURING SYSTEM FOR CONTINUOUSLY DETERMINING THE INTRA-ARTERIAL BLOOD PRESSURE
The invention describes a measuring system for the continuous non-invasive determination of blood pressure at one or more fingers. The fingers chosen for measurement and the adjacent parts of the palm rest on a supporting surface of a housing, which has the shape of a computer mouse. Inside the housing of the “CNAP Mouse”, i.e. underneath the supporting surface for the hand, the pressure generating system is located. The finger sensors are mounted on the supporting surface for the hand. The forearm and the back of the hand are left free and may be used to place intra-venous or intra-arterial access elements. Since the hand will rest on the supporting surface motion artefacts are largely avoided. Tilting or turning of the sensors is hardly possible since the fit of the sensors and thus the coupling of light and pressure are optimized.
