Original Abstract Submitted
A cuff inflation controller is provided that includes a pressure sensor that generates pressure data indicative of internal pressure in a cuff and a pump that transfers inflation fluid to or from the cuff. A controller of the cuff inflation controller operates to determine a size of the cuff based on data from the pressure sensor and to set control parameters for the pump based on the determined cuff size.
