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.

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.
