The cable that connects the ecg@home to the Genesis DM monitor has a 4-pin connector on one end
and a jack on the other. The pin connector plugs into a com port on the Genesis DM, and the jack plugs
into the RS232 connection on the ecg@home. To attach the ecg@home to the Genesis DM monitor,
follow the steps below.
1.
Locate the RS232 connection on the side of the ecg@home device.
2.
Plug cable jack into the ecg@home RS232 connection.
3.
Plug the 4-pin connector into the assigned COM port of the Genesis DM monitor.
Additional notes
The patient should attempt at least two times to obtain a reading without noise. Even if the second
reading has noise, the patient should still transmit the reading.
The ecg@home does not have an OFF button. The device automatically turns off after five minutes.
When connected to the Genesis DM monitor, the monitor turns the device off after a successful
transmission.
The monitor erases the reading prior to turning the device off.
If the patient uses the device as a stand-alone (not connecting it to the monitor), the device erases the
old reading when the patient turns it on.
Please see the manufactures instructions for approved use.
The Genesis DM monitor will prompt the patient through each of the following steps. After the initial
prompt informing the patient that it is time to take an ECG, the prompts will continue to walk the patient
through the following steps:
1.
Apply 2-3 drops of K2 solution on each electrode of the device. Be careful to drop liquid onto the
electrode rather than touch the bottle tip to the electrode.
2.
Press START on the ecg@home device.
3.
An asterisk displays in the upper right-hand corner of the screen and a heart symbol flashes on the
display.
4.
Place your thumbs on the electrodes and press gently.
