and automatically inflated by an air pump. The sensor of the device catches weak
fluctuation of the pressure in the wrist cuff produced by extension and contraction
of the artery of the wrist in response to each heartbeat. The amplitude of the
pressure waves is measured, converted in millimeters of the mercury column, and
is displayed by digital value.
