摘要:
An apparatus for measuring a concentration of a light-absorbing substance in blood is disclosed. A light emitter emits light beams to irradiate a living tissue, each of the light beams being associated with one wavelength which is absorbed by the blood. A first instrument measures first intensities of the light beams, which are to be incident on the living tissue. A second instrument measures second intensities of the light beams, which are transmitted through the living tissue. A first calculator calculates an attenuation variation ratio, which is a ratio of attenuation variations of the respective light beams due to variation of a volume of the blood caused by pulsation, based on the second intensities of the light beams. A second calculator calculates the concentration based on the first intensities, the second intensities, and the attenuation variation ratio.

A method of analyzing a gas component derived from living body, includes: extracting a first gas component from a gas contained in an atmosphere by a first method and removing the extracted first gas component from the gas to defecate the atmosphere; obtaining a mixed gas of the defecated atmosphere and a second gas component from a subject; extracting the first gas component from the mixed gas by a second method; and analyzing the first gas component extracted from the mixed gas. The second method is the same as the first method.

In an apparatus for determining a concentration of a light absorbing substance in blood, a plurality of photo emitters are adapted to emit light beams having different wavelengths toward a living tissue including a blood vessel. A photo receiver is adapted to receive the light beams which have been transmitted through or reflected from the living tissue. A driver inputs driving currents for causing the respective photo emitters to emit the light beams. An optimizer obtains values of AC components of the light beams received by the photo receiver, and adjusts values of the driving currents such that the values of the AC components fall within a predetermined range.

In order to measure a pulse rate and an oxygen saturation of a subject who is in an exercised state, each of two pulse wave signals obtained from the subject is separated into a signal component and a noise component. A frequency spectrum of the signal component and a frequency spectrum of the noise component are obtained. It is judged whether a body motion of the subject is occurred based on the frequency spectrum of the signal component and the frequency spectrum of the noise component. A pulsation frequency is determined based on the judgment as to the body motion. The pulse rate is calculated based on the pulsation frequency. The oxygen saturation is calculated based on a ratio of spectra of the two pulse wave signals corresponding to the pulsation frequency.

A blood pressure measuring apparatus, which measures a blood pressure of a living body, includes: a cuff-pressure control unit which controls a cuff pressure of a cuff that presses a part of the living body; an oscillation signal detection unit which detects an oscillation signal from the cuff pressure; a blood pressure specification unit which specifies systolic and diastolic blood pressures as the blood pressure of the living body from the oscillation signal; and a blood pressure determination unit which determines whether systolic and diastolic blood pressures are appropriate or not. The cuff-pressure control unit controls the cuff pressure to be inflated to a first set value, the blood pressure specification unit specifies the systolic and diastolic blood pressures based on a change of an oscillation signal that is detected by the oscillation signal detection unit when the cuff pressure is inflated to the first set value, and when the blood pressure determination unit determines that both the systolic and diastolic blood pressures are appropriate, the cuff-pressure control unit ends the inflating of the cuff pressure to release the cuff pressure.
