Abstract

L'invention porte sur un dispositif (1A) de mesure d'informations concernant la pression sanguine, ledit dispositif étant équipé de : un coussin gonflable (23) de mesure du pouls à enrouler autour d'un emplacement prédéterminé sur le bras supérieur ; un coussin gonflable (24) de mesure de la valeur de la pression sanguine à enrouler autour d'une position comprenant une partie plus distale du bras supérieur par rapport à l'emplacement prédéterminé mentionné ci-dessus ; un capteur de pression (33A) qui détecte la pression interne du coussin gonflable (23) de mesure du pouls ; un capteur de pression (33B) qui détecte la pression interne du coussin gonflable (24) de mesure de la valeur de la pression sanguine ; une unité centrale (CPU) (40) qui joue le rôle d'unité de commande ; et une unité d'affichage (42) et un avertisseur (44) qui notifient une attache erronée. Lorsque l'unité centrale (CPU) (40) détecte, sur la base des informations de pression détectées par le capteur de pression (33A) et des informations de pression détectées par l'autre capteur de pression (33B), que le coussin gonflable (24) de mesure de la valeur de la pression sanguine n'est pas enroulé autour d'une position comprenant une partie plus distale du bras supérieur, l'unité centrale (CPU) (40) avertit le sujet de test et les autres au moyen de l'unité d'affichage (42) et de l'avertisseur (44).
