Kinetik Blood Pressure BPM3C - Manual (Page 8)

Getting Started
a. We recommend that you carry out your test whilst sitting at a table (ensuring the
cuff is at the same height as your heart). This will place your wrist and the monitor
in an ideal position to obtain the best results.
b. Place the cuff on your left wrist. Ensure the cuff is secure. Do not inflate the cuff
when it is not wrapped around the wrist.
c. Once you are in a comfortable position, switch the unit on by pressing “Start” button.
The device will beep.
d. After the self-verification which takes about 2 seconds, the LCD screen will show “0”
and begin automatic inflation.

gradually reduced and the monitor takes an automatic measurement.

Using your Blood Pressure Monitor
If there is an error or abnormal reading, please refer to the “ Troubleshooting ” section.
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
pressing the “Memory” button just before the cuff reaches the pre-set pressurisation level.
