Ideally
the
test
should
be
done
while
seated
at
a
table
with
the
arm
at
the
same
level
as
the
heart.
Once
sitting
comfortably,
the
user
presses
the
ON/OFF
button
followed
by
the
start
button.
The
BPM1
will
automatically
inflate
and
measure
the
blood
pressure
reading.
Traffic
Light
System
The
backlight
of
the
BPM1KTL
will
change
colour
according
to
the
measured
result.
The
different
backlight
colours
correspond
to
blood
pressure
classifications
as
defined
by
the
British
Hypertension
Society.
The
BPM1KTL
Traffic
Light
System
presents
your
blood
pressure
classification
via
a
simple
and
easy
to
understand
user
interface.

Low
blood
pressure,
or
hypotension,
occurs
when
blood
pressure
during
and
after
each
heartbeat
is
much
lower
than
usual.
This
means
the
heart,
brain,
and
other
parts
of
the
body
do
not
get
enough
blood.
Symptoms
may
include
blurry
vision,
confusion,
dizziness,
fainting,
light
‐
headedness,
sleepiness
&
weakness.
However,
blood
pressure
that
is
borderline
low
for
one
person
may
be
normal
for
another.
Consequently,
hypotension
in
a
healthy
person
that
does
not
cause
any
problems
usually
doesn't
require
treatment.
If
in
doubt,
seek
advice
from
your
physician
or
healthcare
professional.
