belay


Explanation:
They could be talking about a belay.
Meaning:
1. fix (a running rope) round a cleat, rock, pin, or other object, to secure it.
It could mean that when the pressure is reduced there is a problem with the pressure belay. (harness)

subsequent mean pressure deviations


Explanation:
Here's my take on this:

With pressure regulators, we had recurring problems with subsequent mean pressure deviations.

I think that what is described is that there were problems occurring downstream of of the pressure regulator, ergo "Nachsteiger".

Definition

ungewollte Erhöhung des statischen Mitteldrucks eines Pressluftatmers in Folge einer Überfunktion oder Undichtigkeit seines Druckminderers.

Erläuterung

Der Mitteldruck im Pressluftatmer sollte möglichst konstant sein. Andernfalls kann die konstante Versorgung mit Atemluft gestört werden. Moderne Pressluftatmer sind gegen Nachsteiger relativ sicher. Deshalb wird heute auf eine Prüfung auf Mitteldrucknachsteiger mit Duldung der Hersteller verzichtet:
