Warnings/Cautions
© 2014 Honeywell HomMed. All rights reserved.
IndicationsforUse
The Honeywell HomMed Genesis Touch System is designed to retrospectively monitor vital signs. Vital signs include noninvasive
blood pressure, pulse oximetry, pulse rate, weight and manually entered temperature. The Genesis Touch system collects, displays
and transmits vital signs measurements captured from commercially available wireless medical devices designed for home use.
Collected measurement data from the Genesis Touch System may be transmitted via a communication module to a central viewing
station where the data can be viewed and analyzed by a healthcare professional.
The Genesis Touch System is intended for home use by adult and pediatric patients over twelve years of age or in a healthcare
related environment by healthcare providers.
Contra‐Indications
The Genesis Touch monitor is not an emergency medical response device. The monitor does not have auditory or visual alarms for
out-of-limit parameters. The Genesis Touch monitor does not provide real-time, critical-care monitoring of patient vital signs. All
data is transmitted to your monitoring platform (LifeStream™) and examined retrospectively by qualified health professionals.

GettingStarted
This section provides important information about the Honeywell HomMed Genesis Touch monitor. This
information supports software versions 2.0 and later.
When you receive your shipment from Honeywell HomMed, carefully remove each piece of equipment
from the box. Save the carton and packing materials in case you need to return any of the contents. As you
inventory the contents of the box, check each piece of equipment for damage. If anything is damaged or
missing, contact Customer Service immediately. Your package may include the following:
• Genesis Touch monitor
• Tablet AC power supply cable
• USB cable
• Scale (optional)
• Scale AC power supply cable (optional)
• Blood pressure unit (optional)
• Oximeter (SpO2) finger sensor (optional)
• Oximeter AC power supply cable (optional)
•Powerstrip
• Tablet stand
Note: Kits may include slightly different pieces depending on the model and/or patient need.
In addition to the battery used to power the device, the Genesis Touch monitors have a battery that
maintains the memory, clock and configuration for approximately five years. Do not attempt to replace the
battery. If the battery fails, contact Customer Service to have it replaced.
Communications
The Genesis Touch System provides two options for communicating with LifeStream:
• Cellular Network (3G and 4G)
• Wireless Internet (Wi-Fi)
CellularNetwork
The Genesis Touch comes with a cellular network already enabled and ready to be used. The cellular
network works in the same way as it does for a cellular phone utilizing 3G and 4G network speeds.
WirelessInternet(Wi‐Fi)
The Genesis Touch allows you the option to connect to a Wi-Fi network for communications. A Wi-Fi
network is a wireless internet access point in a home, business, or public area that allows the transmission
of data over the internet. The Genesis Touch is designed to connect to any available Wi-Fi network within
range and can use this access point to transmit vital sign data to LifeStream without using a cellular
network.
The patient’s Wi-Fi password is required to connect to a wireless network in their home. It is the patient’s
responsibility to provide their network’s password to enable access. If their network is not password
protected, no password is needed to connect.

Getting Started

Note: The Video Conferencing feature requires a Wi-Fi communications network.
Refer to Connecting to a Wi-Fi Network in the Configuring Monitors for Patients chapter for more
information.
VideoConferencing
Fuze Meeting, developed by FuzeBox, Inc. enables seamless high-definition online collaboration between
mobile and desktop users. The basic application, which provides video conferencing capability, is
available on the Genesis Touch monitor. It enables users to experience high-definition video and audio
conferencing, online media storage, integrated presence and secure, persistent chat - all in one easy-to-use
web application.
You must have a Fuzebox license to host a video conference, however the basic application, which is
installed on the Genesis Touch, allows you to attend video conferences hosted by others. Refer to
www.fuzemeeting.com for licensing information and manufacturer’s instructions on video conferencing.
Refer to Enabling Video Conferencing in the Configuring Monitors for Patients chapter for information on
how to enable this feature.
OtherSystemEquipment
In addition to the monitor, other equipment can include a wireless scale, SpO2 finger sensor, blood
pressure unit and power accessories. These are all optional accessories. The following pages provide a
general overview of each piece of equipment. For detailed specifications, refer to the manufacturer’s
documentation. Contact information and web locations have been provided here for your convenience.
The Genesis Touch device is configured to work with only Honeywell HomMed-approved peripherals.
When purchasing these approved peripheral devices, ensure you are purchasing a peripheral that the
manufacturer has prepared to work with a Genesis Touch. This helps provide proprietary Honeywell
pairing capability, for a secure Bluetooth connection.
If you have any questions on purchasing these peripherals, please contact HomMed at 1.888.353.5440 or at
www.HomMed.com.
