Irregular
Heart
Beat
(
Cardiac
Arrhythmia
)
Detection
The
BPM1KTL
is
designed
to
detect
Premature
Ventricular
Contractions,
also
known
as
a
Premature
Ventricular
Complex
(or
complexes),
Ventricular
Premature
Contractions
(or
complex
or
complexes),
Ventricular
Premature
Beats,
or
Extrasystoles.
It
is
not
designed
to
detect
Atrial
Fibrillation
or
Atrial
Premature
Beats.
If
an
irregular
heart
beat
is
detected
during
measurement,
an
indicator
will
be
displayed
and
the
measurement
should
be
taken

Manual
Blood
Pressure
Classification:
Blood
pressure
is
classified
based
on
the
systolic
and
diastolic
blood
pressures
measured
in
millimeters
of
mercury
(mmHg).
Systolic
blood
pressure
is
the
blood
pressure
in
vessels
during
a
heartbeat
and
is
the
higher
number.
Diastolic
blood
pressure
is
the
pressure
between
heartbeats
and
is
the
lower
number.
These
two
numbers
are
given
together
i.e.
“120
over
80”
to
indicate
a
blood
pressure
value.
How
to
use
the
BPM1KTL
Blood
Pressure
Monitor:
The
cuff
must
be
wrapped
1
‐
2cm
above
the
elbow
joint
with
the
rubber
tube
running
down
the
