Patent ID: 7611468

Claim:
A blood pressure measurement cuff wrapping control device for controlling wrapping of a blood pressure measurement cuff including a bladder, which is inflated when supplied with fluid, around a region for measurement, said device comprising: fluid enclosure portion for supplying a predetermined amount of fluid to said bladder and enclosing said fluid therein in order to wrap said blood pressure measurement cuff around said region for measurement; and pressure variation detection portion for detecting whether or not a relative variation in the pressure in said bladder has reached a predetermined level during the wrapping of said blood pressure measurement cuff around said region for measurement for blood pressure measurements, after said fluid is enclosed in said bladder by said fluid enclosure portion and prior to beginning the blood pressure measurements, wherein said relative variation is a calculated difference between the pressure in said bladder detected at a point in time and the pressure in said bladder detected at a subsequent point in time during the wrapping of said blood pressure measurement cuff around said region for measurement.
