- Instructions for use -
Introduction
thank you for deciding for the blood
pressure monitor KP-6166 from SCALA.
To be able to utilise all advantages of
the blood pressure monitor to the fullest,
you should carefully read these
instructions before using the monitor.
Keep the instruction leaflet in a safe
place.
Safety instructions
The blood pressure monitor KP-6166
enables you to monitor your blood
pressure regularly. However, you should
never change the treatment which your
doctor has prescribed
Self-measurement means monitoring,
it does not imply diagnosis or
treatment.
Discuss unusual values with your
doctor.
Do not change the medication
prescribed by your doctor.
The heart rate is not a useful indicator of
the frequency of a cardiac pace maker.
Patients with cardiac arrhythmia should
use the blood pressure monitor only
after consulting a doctor.
Features of the KP-6166
- The blood pressure monitor has fuzzy
logic to identify the pumping pressure.
If the pumping pressure set in the
factory is not sufficient, the device
identifies this and continues pumping.
- The device has 2 selectable memories
each with 50 memory locations.
- The date and time are displayed and
stored together with every blood
pressure value.
- 2 -
- If the battery icon is displayed, the
batteries are discharged and the
device cannot be used until new
batteries are inserted.
- The handcuff is suitable for
wrists from 135 to 195mm circumference.
Preparing the monitor for measurement
/ changing batteries
Insert the two supplied batteries in the
battery compartment at the side of the
blood pressure monitor as shown. Use
only alkali batteries (LR03).
If the batteries are depleted, the battery
icon is displayed in the lower part of
the LC display. The battery needs urgent
replacement because you cannot use the
monitor with depleted batteries.
The LC display
Setting the clock
After you have inserted the two batteries,
you should set the clock. It starts with year
„1/ 1“ (for the 1st month / 1st day) and
“12:00“ o’clock after every battery change.
- 3 -
To set the clock, hold the MEMORY button
pressed for about 5 seconds. The year
blinks in the top left corner of the display.
Set the year with the ON/OFF button.
When the correct year is set, press the
MEMORY button again. Now the 1 blinks
in the top left corner of the LCD. It stands
for the month.
Set the month with the ON/OFF button.
Another press of the MEMORY button sets
another 1 blinking. It stands for the first day
in the month.
Set the day with the ON/OFF button.
Another press of the MEMORY button
takes you to the clock setting – the hours
blink. As earlier, set the clock with the
ON/OFF button.
Pressing the MEMORY button advances to
the minutes setting.
Set the minutes with the ON/OFF button.
A final press of the MEMORY button
completes the setting of the date and time.
How to obtain correct measuring
results
To obtain correct readings,
measure the blood pressure
always under the same
conditions, at rest, not under
the effect of alcohol, not
during meals, not after
heavy physical or mental
stress. If possible, sit down
at a table for the
measurement.
Please note: The blood pressure monitor
must be at heart level during the
measurement, otherwise wrong readings
are obtained.

The measuring method
Put the cuff around your left wrist
making sure that the device rests on the
artery and the top edge of the device is
about 1 cm away from the wrist joint.
The cuff should be applied with
moderate tightness.
Now select “your” memory area with the
select button, which you want to use
and in which you want to store your
blood pressure values by pressing the
MEMORY button. (The BP monitor has
2 different memory areas each with 50
memory locations. The other memory
area can be used by family members or
other persons.)
After you press the button for selecting
the memory area, the word USER 1 is
displayed. Another press of the select
button displays the word USER .
So select ”your” USER memory. Then
wait for 5 seconds until the displays
disappears.
- 5 -

The monitor has adopted your data and
is now ready for taking measurements.
Pressing the ON/OFF button starts the
automatic measurement. The cuff inflates
to approx. 190 mmHg pressure.
The automatic deflation starts the
measurement. After about 3 seconds, a
heart icon starts blinking in the LC
display. If a Korotkoff’s sound is detected
already at that time, it means a systolic
pressure of more than 150 mmHg. Then
the monitor re-inflates (to about 220
mmHg).
At the end of the measurement, the result
is displayed in the LCD and the cuff
deflates.
Aborting a measurement
You can stop the measurement at any
time by pressing the ON/OFF button. The
BP monitor deflates the cuff instantly.
The memory function
The KP-6166 saves up to 50
measurements in every memory area.
Together with each measurement
(systolic, diastolic and heart rate), the
date and time are also saved. The
measurement with the longest residence
time in the memory is assigned number
1. All other measurements increment by
one until number 50. Then the memory is
full. The next measurement occupies
memory location 50. The measurement
formerly at location 50 changes to
location 49 (etc., 48Æ47 .... 2Æ1). The
oldest measurement formerly at location
1 is lost.
You can delete the measurements in the
memory by removing the batteries for at
least 2 minutes from the BP monitor.

The World Health Organization (WHO)
recommends medical treatment, when
the blood pressure value exceeds
140/90 mmHg. The doctor should also
be consulted when the blood pressure is
too low, i.e. when the systolic value
drops below 105 mmHg and/or the
diastolic value below 60 mmHg.
Cleaning and maintenance
♥Do not expose the BP monitor to
extreme temperature, moisture, dust or
direct sunlight.
♥The cuff contains a sensitive airtight
bulb. Treat it with care and avoid any
stress by torsion or kinking.
♥Clean the BP monitor with a soft, dry
cloth. Do not use fuel, thinner or other
solvent. Remove specks on the cuff
carefully with a wet cloth and soap
water. Do not wash the cuff.
♥Do not drop the BP monitor or treat it
with force.
♥Do not try to open the BP monitor.
This will make the factory calibration
invalid.

Troubleshooting and remedies
If a fault is detected during a
measurement, the BM monitor displays
„Err“ and a symbol (code for service
personnel).
From many years of experience we know
that most faults are the consequence of
wrong use. The most frequent causes of
faults are excessive movement during the
measurement, wrong application of the
cuff, use of wrong batteries or use of a
rechargeable battery.
Wait at least 5 minutes before repeating
the measurement.
