Pressure staircase at the start of a measurement
During the start-up phase of a finger blood pressure measurement, the cuff
pressure is increased stepwise while analyzing the plethysmogram. Based
on the amplitude and shape of the plethysmogram the stepwise increase
in pressure is stopped as soon as cuff pressure is above systolic pressure.
Then an AutoCal is performed and the blood pressure measurement is
started.
