Kinetik Blood Pressure BPM1C - Manual (Page 8)

Start
a. We recommend that you carry out you test whilst sitting at a table (ensuring the cuff is at the same
height as your heart). This will place your arm and the monitor in an ideal position for the best results.
b. Place the cuff on your selected arm (please refer to ‘Your first test’ on how to select an arm).
Ensure the cuff is secure. Do not inflate the cuff when it is not wrapped around the arm.
c. Once you are in a comfortable position,
switch the unit on. The LCD screen will beep.
d. The LCD screen will display “0mmHg” and the “ ” will flash,
indicating that the monitor is ready to use.
e. Press the “Start” button to begin automatic inflation.
Using your Blood Pressure Monitor
There are 4 pre-programmed pressurisation values which are set at 187mmHg, 225mmHg, 263mmHg
and 300mmHg.
When automatic inflation begins, the unit will inflate to 187mmHg. If a pulse is not detected, the unit
will continue to inflate automatically to the next pressurisation level. This will continue to a maximum
level of 300mmHg.
if you feel any discomfort or pain during this time, turn the unit off and remove the cuff
immediately. Consult your local pharmacist or healthcare professional for advice.
Once automatic inflation begins, you can choose to inflate the cuff to the next pressurisation level by
press and hold the “Memory” button just before the cuff reaches the pre-set pressurisation level.
