Other devices first inflate the cuff above the estimated systolic BP (the upper number) and THEN listen for sounds from the arterial blood vessels. If a sound is heard, it means that there is insufficient inflation of the cuff and the cuff pressure is further increased. Once the pressure is above the systolic BP the device slowly deflates the cuff while first listening for the blood to begin flowing (it makes a 'swishing' sound); this is the systolic BP. The pressure is further lowered until no sound is heard. This is the diastolic or bottom BP number. This takes time, excessive arm pressure and can be uncomfortable for may people.In contrast, the EW3109W listens to the arterial blood vessel sound while INFLATING the cuff.
