Kinetik BPM1 Staff Training Manual

Brand: Kinetik

Model: BPM1

Type: Staff Training Manual

Kinetik BPM1 is an electronic blood pressure monitor that measures arterial blood pressure. It is clinically tested and approved by the British Hypertension Society, and is accurate to +/-3mmHg. The BPM1 is fully automatic and easy to use, with a large, easy-to-read LCD display. It also has a 60-user memory, so you can track your blood pressure over time.

The BPM1 is suitable for adults and children, and is not recommended for infants. It is important to note that the BPM1 is not a diagnostic tool, and should not be used to replace professional medical advice.
