AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing blood flow restriction training systems require the pump to stop and start repeatedly to determine limb occlusion pressure, increasing inflation time and discomfort for users with low pain thresholds.
Method used
A blood flow restriction system that continuously inflates a cuff to a desired pressure without stopping the pump by using a pressure sensor located apart from the air input port, allowing simultaneous air delivery and blood flow detection.
Benefits of technology
Faster and more comfortable determination of limb occlusion pressure without pump interruptions, enhancing user experience and efficiency.

Abstract
A device, method, and system that, when inflating a cuff placed on a human or animal limb, allows the cuff to be continuously inflated to the LOP without the need to terminate operation of the pump to detect whether blood is flowing through the blood vessel and passing through the cuff.
