PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Intended Use
The hardware included with this kit allows a Health o meter® Professional scale to wirelessly transmit
data to a Windows® PC or a Welch Allyn® device. See below for set up instructions.
Transmitting Data to a Windows® PC
To allow the scale to wirelessly transmit data to a Windows® PC, drivers for the included USB wireless
dongle must first be installed on the user’s PC. See page 8 for more information about setting up the
drivers on a PC. After installation, the USB wireless dongle must be inserted into a USB port on the PC.
Transmitting data into an EMR system requires that the user’s Windows® PC has one of the following
systems installed: Allscripts TouchWorks® or Professional™, Midmark® IQmanager® or ChARM Health
EHR.
Allscripts Interface: To complete the connection to Allscripts systems, users must download the
Allscripts app available at www.homscales.com/innovations/connectivity-solutions. Follow the
installation instructions included with the download. To complete installation, Allscripts must activate
the app within the user’s account to allow for interface between the scale and the Allscripts system
on the user’s PC.
Midmark Interface: Connection between the scale and Midmark IQ Manager requires that the
user’s PC has the IQ Manager software installed. For further information users must contact
Midmark Technical Support.
ChARM Health EHR Interface: ChARM Health users must contact their account manager to set up
the service.
Transmitting Data to a Welch Allyn® Connex® Device
To allow the scale to wirelessly transmit data to a Welch Allyn® Connex® monitor, the included hardware
must be attached to the Welch Allyn® device. See page 7 for details about connecting the scale with
Welch Allyn® monitors. From the Welch Allyn® device, data can be transferred into an EMR. For data to
transfer to the EMR, the EMR installed on the user’s PC must be included on the list of Welch Allyn
EMR partners. Visit www.welchallyn.com to view a complete list of EMR partners. Health o meter®
Professional scales are preconfigured to interface with the following Welch Allyn® Connex® devices:
Connex® Spot Monitor, Connex® Vital Signs Monitors, Connex® Integrated Wall Systems.
Health o meter® Professional supports customers who wish to develop interfaces to their EMR and
other computer systems. Developers can obtain the communication protocols needed for the scale
models used in their particular environment at www.homscales.com/innovations/connectivity-solutions.
Windows® PC Requirements
