W1§2	40	100	120		140	160
W1§3	40	100	120		140	160

^aThe cuff was repeatedly inflated for 1 minute at each indicated pressure and then deflated for 10 seconds before continuing to the next pressure level, during week 1. For weeks 2 to 4, the cuff was repeatedly inflated for 30 seconds then deflated for 10 seconds before continuing to the next pressure level.
