Abstract

In a hematomanometer in which the blood pressure values are detected while increasing the cuff pressure, the cuff pressure is increased to a predetermined value, the minimum blood pressure is presumed. When the presumed value is greater than a first reference value which is larger than the predetermined value, the measurement of the blood pressure is conducted while increasing the cuff pressure. When the presumed value is greater than the first reference value, the cuff pressure is decreased to a second reference value which is smaller than the predetermined value, and then the measurement of the blood pressure is conducted while increasing the cuff pressure.
