Abstract
A method of measuring pressure for a cell in a pneumatic compression device may include performing an inflate/exhaust cycle including, for one or more cells of a plurality of cells in a pneumatic compression device, inflating a cell to a target pressure, wherein the target pressure is based on at least a desired pressure, measuring a pressure of the cell, determining an overpressure value associated with the cell based on at least the measured pressure, determining a subsequent target pressure associated with the cell based on at least the measured pressure and the overpressure value, deflating the cell, and inflating the cell until the subsequent target pressure is achieved.
