Claim 15:
16. A method comprising:
generating, based on sensor information received from a first pressure sensor, a first pressure versus time curve, wherein the first pressure sensor is configured to measure pressure level in a first chamber within a body of a flow device configured to control flow of fluid, wherein the flow device comprises (i) a movable member having a first portion with a first diameter and a second portion with a second diameter different from the first diameter, wherein the movable member is movable in the body of the flow device, (ii) a first seal positioned to form a seal between the first portion and the body, (iv) a second seal positioned to form a respective seal between the second portion and the body;
generating, based on respective sensor information received from a second pressure sensor configured to measure pressure level in a second chamber within the body of the flow device, a second pressure versus time curve;
comparing the first pressure versus time curve and the second pressure versus time curve to a baseline pressure versus time curve;
determining, based on the comparing, whether the first seal or the second seal has degraded during use of the flow device; and
providing an indication of which of the first seal or the second seal has degraded.
