This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18990636 titled 'SPHYGMOMANOMETER AND METHOD FOR MEASURING BLOOD PRESSURE

Original Abstract Submitted

A sphygmomanometer configured to measure a blood pressure by compressing a part of a user to be measured with a cuff, the sphygmomanometer including a blood pressure measurement unit configured to, after a pressurization process of pressurizing a cuff pressure indicating an inner pressure of the cuff to a pressure greater than a specified pressure, measure the blood pressure of the user based on a pulse wave signal in a depressurization process of depressurizing the cuff pressure, a determination unit configured to determine whether or not an arrhythmia occurs in the user based on the pulse wave signal in the depressurization process, and a mode setting unit configured to set one of a first mode for executing the determining of the arrhythmia and a second mode for not executing the determining of the arrhythmia.
