It does seem odd to me that the designer didn't complement the single diode, with another, connected so as to form a voltage-doubler / charge-pump / whatever you want to call it.
It would remove the dependency on the non-ideal characteristic of the diode - which is identified in Trevor's attachment as making a big difference to detection efficiency, and which varies significantly from diode to diode, with temperature, etc.
The Amīcaflex does it properly...
