giving

 

you

 

all

 

the

 

information

 

behind

 

Kinetik

 

Blood

 

Pressure

 

Monitor,

 

the

 

technology

 

it

 

uses,

 

and

 

who

 

is

 

behind

 

it.

 

This

 

is

 

so

 

all

 

customer

 

questions

 

can

 

be

 

answered.

 

What

 

is

 

the

 

BPM1KTL?

 

The

 

BPM1KTL

 

is

 

an

 

electronic

 

blood

 

pressure

 

monitor

 

(also

 

known

 

as

 

a

 

sphygmomanometer),

 

a

 

medical

 

device

 

that

 

is

 

used

 

to

 

measure

 

arterial

 

blood

 

pressure.

 

The

 

BPM1KTL

 

comprises

 

of

 

a

 

main

 

unit

 

that

 

houses

 

the

 

battery,

 

control

 

panel

 

and

 

LCD,

 

this

 

connects

 

to

 

the

 

user

 

through

 

a

 

cuff

 

that

 

is

 

wrapped

 

around

 

the

 

upper

 

arm.

 

The

 

BPM1KTL

 

is

 

the

 

first

 

ever

 

‘Traffic

 

Light’

 

type

 

Blood

 

Pressure

 

Monitor

 

to

 

be

 

tested

 

and

 

approved

 

by

 

the

 

British

 

Hypertension

 

Society.

 

 

What

 

is

 

Hypertension?

 

Hypertension (or High Blood Pressure) 

is

 

a

 

chronic

 

medical

 

condition

 

in

 

which

 

the

 

arterial

 

blood

 

pressure

 

is

 

elevated.

 

Persistent

 

hypertension

 

is

 

one

 

of

 

the

 

risk

 

factors

 

for

 

stroke,

 

heart

 

failure

 

and

 

is

 

a

 

leading

 

cause

 

of

 

chronic

 

kidney

 

failure.

 

Even

 

a

 

moderate

 

elevation

 

of

 

blood

 

pressure

 

can

 

lead

 

to

 

shortened

 

life

 

expectancy.

 

Since

 

hypertension

 

is

 

commonly

 

asymptomatic

 

or

 

clinically

 

silent

 

(i.e.

 

no

 

noticeable

 

symptoms),

 

is

 

often

 

referred

 

to

 

as

 

a

 

‘silent

 

killer’.

 

As

 

many

 

as

 

1

 

in

 

4

 

adults

 

have

 

hypertension

 

without

 

knowing

 

it.

 

As

 

such

 

it

 

is

 

important

 

that

 

blood

 

pressure

 

is

 

monitored

 

on

 

a

 

regular

 

basis.

Q.

 

Does

 

taking

 

a

 

measurement

 

hurt?

 

 

 

A.

 

No,

 

although

 

some

 

slight

 

discomfort

 

may

 

be

 

felt

 

as

 

the

 

cuff

 

inflates.

 

 

Q.

 

Are

 

they

 

any

 

risks

 

from

 

over

use?

 

 

A.

 

Blood

 

pressure

 

should

 

be

 

monitored

 

at

 

least

 

once

 

a

 

day.

 

It

 

is

 

recommended

 

to

 

wait

 

at

 

least

 

60

 

minutes

 

between

 

readings.

  

 

Q.

 

What

 

are

 

the

 

advantages

 

of

 

the

 

BPM1KTL?

 

 

A.

 

It

 

is

 

very

 

accurate,

 

premium

 

blood

 

pressure

 

monitor

 

that

 

is

 

capable

 

of

 

measuring

 

and

 

classifying

 

blood

 

pressure

 

in

 

a

 

simple

 

and

 

reliable

 

way.

 

It

 

is

 

also

 

able

 

to

 

notify

 

the

 

user

 

if

 

irregular

 

heartbeats

 

are

 

detected

 

during

 

a

 

measurement.

   

 

Q.

 

Does

 

the

 

Kinetik

 

BPM1KTL

 

run

 

off

 

the

 

mains

 

or

 

from

 

batteries?

 

 

A.

 

It

 

runs

 

on

 

batteries

 

(4

 

x

 

AAA).
