Introduction

Thank you for deciding for the blood

pressure monitor SC 7100 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 SC 7100

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 pacemaker.

Patients with cardiac arrhythmia should

use the blood pressure monitor only after

consulting a doctor.

Features of the SC 7100

- 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

detects 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.

- WHO interpretation of blood pressure

readings with coloured LED band (See

description at page 7).

- If your heartbeat is not regular

(irregular), the icon appears in the

LC display.

- 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

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 top left

corner of the LC display. The battery

needs urgent replacement because you

cannot use the monitor with depleted

batteries.

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

1.5 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 a family member or

other person.)

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 2.

So select ”your” USER memory. Then

wait for 5 seconds until the display

disappears.

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.

Irregular heartbeat

If your heartbeat is not regular (irregular),

the intervals between pulses are different.

If this happens while you are taking a

measurement, the icon ” ” appears in

the LC display.

Reasons for irregular heartbeat:

(not complete)

- Sport activity, sauna, stress.

- Measuring error such as loose cuff,

wrong posture during measurement

Cause for concern: (not complete)

- Cardiac arrhythmia

If irregular heartbeat is displayed

regularly, consult your doctor.
