referred to as the "systolic or maximum pressure".
Systole = maximum pressure level when the heart contracts and blood is pushed into the
blood vessels.
As you proceed with decompression, the pulsations gradually decrease until they suddenly
disappear or become so low as to be imperceptible.
The pressure indicated by the gauge needle at the moment the pulsations disappear is referred
to as the "diastolic or minimum pressure".
Diastole: minimum blood pressure level when the heart muscle is expanding and refilling with
blood.

pressure measurement is now completed.
MAINTENANCE
1. Gauge and bulb
Cleaning: The gauge and bulb can be wiped with a damp cloth. Sterilization is not necessary,
as the parts do not come into direct contact with the patient's body.
2. Armbands
Cleaning: After removing the plenum chamber, the liners can be wiped with a damp cloth, or
you can wash them with soap and cold water. If you use this second method, rinse the armbands
with clean water and leave them to air dry. Nylon armbands must not be ironed.
The plenum chamber and tubes can be wiped with a damp cotton cloth.
