Features/preparation:
This blood pressure measuring device is an aneroid measuring
device. During measurement, there is a build-up of pressure
that constricts an artery in the upper arm. As the pressure is
released, the upper blood pressure reading (systolic blood
pressure) is calculated and after a complete blood flow
through the artery, further pressure is released and thereby
the lower blood pressure reading (diastolic blood pressure)

is calculated.

exertion or in a state of excitement.

inaccuracies.
