Setting Up Peripheral Devices; Setting Up A Scale; Finding A Good Location For The Scale - Honeywell HomMed Genesis Touch Quick Start Manual

Genesis Touch Quick Start
Setting Up Peripheral Devices
There are several different peripheral devices that can be used with the Genesis Touch System:
• Scale
• Blood pressure Unit
• Oximeter
• Thermometer
Setting Up a Scale
If your kit includes a scale, you will need to:
• Find a location for the scale
• Configure the monitor to use the type of scale you have
• Pair (establish a Bluetooth wireless connection) the scale and the monitor
Finding a Good Location for the Scale
Before you place the scale, look on the bottom to find the scale's serial number and write it down so that
you have it for pairing to the monitor.
Depending on the scale you have, it is either powered by four AA batteries or plugged into an electrical
outlet through an AC adapter. Refer to the scale manufacturer's instructions for more information.
Scales should be located on hard, un-carpeted surfaces with pressure evenly placed on all four corners. Be
sure to take the patient's mobility into account when placing the scale. It should be as close to the monitor
as possible and easy for them to get to.
CAUTION: DO NOT place near sources of water (e.g., sinks or bathtubs).
The scale should be close enough to the monitor that it is able to connect via the Bluetooth range (less than
30 feet (10 meters)). It is best if the scale can be placed in a permanent location and has enough room for
the patient to be able to stand on it comfortably without support for the time it takes the monitor to collect
their weight (approximately ten seconds without movement).
Make sure that the scale is in the proper location and doesn't have any weight on it before you attempt to
pair it with the monitor. If there is weight on the scale when you power up, it will not zero correctly.
Note: Do not move the scale after you power up.
