Description:
The Kinetik BPM1C is an automatic blood pressure monitor. Although its blood pressure measurement technology has been evaluated, it is not possible to base a determination on its accuracy from this research. Blood pressure measurements are taken from the upper arm. It is intended for self-measurement and home use. This device has been discontinued by the manufacturer but may be available through certain outlets.
Assessment:
The technology used in the Kinetik BPM1C, to measure blood pressure, has been assessed, in a general population, according to a non-standard protocol. It has also been assessed in a study, the results of which have not been published and cannot be verified.
Recommendations:
