Patient Telemonitoring Instructions
Blood Pressure
•
Blood pressure measurements may not be representative if you are experiencing mild or moderate to severe arrhythmias.
•
Ability to obtain blood pressure measurement may be impacted if you have tremors.
•
Any condition that restricts blood flow, such as use of a blood pressure cuff, extremes in systemic vascular resistance, or low
perfusion may cause an inability to determine relevant pulse.
•
Performance with common arrhythmias, such as atrial or ventricular premature heartbeats or atrial fibrillation, has been
verified by use of a patient simulator.
Blood Oxygen
•
SpO2 is not for continuous monitoring (no alarms).
•
The presence of high ambient light may adversely affect SpO2 measurements. Shield the sensor area as necessary.
•
If you wear fingernail polish or false nails, SpO2 measurements may be adversely affected. If necessary, remove polish or
false nails to obtain a reading.
•
Dyes introduced into the bloodstream, such as methylene blue, indocyanine green, indigo carmine, patent blue V (PBV), and
fluorescein, may cause an inability to determine relevant SpO2 readings.
•
Significant levels of dysfunctional hemoglobins, such as carboxyhemoglobin or methemoglobin, will affect the accuracy of
the SpO2 readings.
Weight Measurement
•
The Honeywell HomMed and the A&D scales are not stand-alone devices. The scale must be paired with a Genesis Touch
System to operate.
Equipment Operation
•
Dashes displayed in any parameter indicate the measurement is invalid or unavailable.
•
The presence of strong EMI or RF sources, such as electrosurgery equipment may adversely affect operation of this device.
•
The presence of computed tomography (CT) equipment may be adversely affected the operation of this device.
