Patent attributes
A pressurizing apparatus and method for adjusting an optimal pressurizing rate according to a cuff of various lengths. The pressurizing method measures the pressure values at two reference points and time duration to calculate a pressurizing rate. A control adjustment routine to control an adjustment of the pressurizing rate is decided according the calculated pressurizing rate and at least one control condition. The pump is pressurized according to the adjustment of the pressurizing rate. A diastolic pressure value is measured and the pressurizing of the pump is kept to measure a systolic pressure value. Afterward, the pressurizing is stopped to prevent uncomfortable feeling of user caused by rapidly pressurizing and de-pressurizing process.
