A sphinctumonometer allows for the measurement of systolic and diastolic blood pressure by allowing its operator to hear blood flow in the brachial artery.

This, what i've drawn here, is supposed to represent a arm.
00:22
This is the bicep.
00:23
This is the brachial artery here in red.
00:26
The sphingomonometer is this cuff, which is wrapped around the bicep.
00:31
It also has a pressure gauge on it, a bulb for increasing the band pressure, and a valve to let the pressure out.
00:38
In order to use the sphincter monometer, you'll also need a stethoscope.
00:42
This way you can hear the pulse of blood as it moves underneath the pressurized cuff.

So you're able to get a systolic blood pressure reading by pumping up this bulb here...
