Abstract
A sphygmomanometer includes: a sensing cuff that includes a second sheet disposed to face the pressing member's inner circumferential surface and a first sheet facing the second sheet; a fluid storage control part providing a control of supplying and storing the pressure-transmitting fluid into sensing cuff in a worn state wherein the pressing member and sensing cuff are worn on the wrist; and a blood-pressure calculating part calculating a blood pressure based on a pressure of the pressure-transmitting fluid stored in the sensing cuff. The fluid storage control part supplies fluid in the worn state such that the first and second sheets are in contact with each other in a region corresponding to an ulna, a region corresponding to a radius, and a region corresponding to a tendon while first and second sheets are separated from each other in regions corresponding to two arteries that are radial and ulnar arteries.
