Installing the Genesis DM Monitor
It is important to set up the Genesis DM monitor in an area where it can successfully measure vital signs
and transmit results. If a patient uses peripheral medical devices, ensure there will be enough room for
the patient to attach them without any difficulty.
To determine a suitable location, consider the following:
DO:
•
Choose an accessible place to encourage daily use.
•
Find a flat, stable location for the scale where it is moved minimally and where the patient can
easily stand on it.
•
Use a flat, stable surface for the monitor, located where the patient can sit comfortably at rest
for the readings.
•
Select an area that allows the free flow of air around the monitor.
•
Ensure that a bed, chair, or other seating is readily available.
•
Be certain that the patient can easily attach any peripheral devices.
DO NOT:
•
Place any equipment near sources of water such as sinks or bathtubs.
•
Place on or near a heat source (stove, fireplace, heaters, heat vents, etc.) or in direct sunlight.
•
Use an electrical wall outlet controlled by a light switch.
•
Power up until the monitor is setup and all of the equipment is properly attached.
•
Place the Genesis DM monitor on top of or next to electrical equipment (for example, a
television or microwave). If absolutely necessary to place next to an electrical device, verify that
the monitor works properly.
