Condition
Transmission
Ideally, the patient should finish collecting test results and place their prothrombin meter next
to the monitor before the monitoring session. The monitor does not prompt or allow time for the
patient to take a test during the monitoring session because the time required for prothrombin testing is
too long.
When the monitor prompts the patient to attach the device, the patient has a few minutes to turn their
device on, navigate to the Print/Send menu, and transmit the latest test result. Once a device is attached,
Genesis DM displays and says the following:
The Genesis DM monitor does not display the test results.
For a complete list of possible prothrombin prompts, refer to Appendix C: Prompt Text.
Patient Instructions

open PC menus that the patient would not normally use.
When prompted to attach the device, instruct the patient to follow the steps listed below:
1.
Turn the prothrombin time meter on.
