My monitor goes through the normal inflation process but then deflates before giving me a blood pressure reading.

The Lumiscope 1085M monitor deflates before providing a blood pressure reading because it uses an oscillometric measurement method. In this method, the cuff first inflates to a pressure higher than the expected systolic pressure to temporarily stop blood flow. Then, it gradually deflates while sensors detect oscillations in the cuff caused by blood flow returning through the artery.

These oscillations are analyzed during deflation to determine the systolic and diastolic pressures. Therefore, the monitor must deflate before displaying the final blood pressure reading. This process ensures accurate measurement.
