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 can 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.
SafetyInformation
Read and observe all the safety information in this manual before you use the Genesis Touch to prevent injury to yourself or
damage to any equipment. The following safety information applies to the Genesis Touch:
Warnings
• The Genesis Touch is not an emergency medical response device.The monitor does not have alarm capability.
• The Genesis Touch does not provide alarms or real-time, critical-care monitoring of your vital signs. All data that is
transmitted to your care provider will be evaluated by qualified care providers at a later time.
• The monitor should be used only by the patient for whom it is intended.
• Transmission of vital signs belonging to someone other than the patient can cause inaccurate information to be provided
to the care provider, which could lead to improper treatment.
• ELECTRICAL SHOCK
• Components contain sufficient voltage to cause death or serious injury.
• DO NOT immerse in water or other liquid.
• DO NOT disassemble.
• Electrical components contain sufficient voltage to cause death or serious injury.
• DO NOT autoclave.
• DO NOT sterilize with ethylene oxide.
• DO NOT spray cleaners on or into the unit.
• UNPLUG before cleaning, disinfecting, or performing any maintenance.
• For service, call Honeywell HomMed Customer Service.
• EXPLOSION HAZARD
• Unit is powered with electricity and could ignite highly flammable gases.
• DO NOT use device in presence of explosive or flammable anesthetic agents.
• NOT A NEONATAL UNIT
• Using the Genesis Touch on infants or small children could cause serious injury.
• DO NOT use the monitor, temperature probe, blood pressure cuff, or any monitor accessory on infants or small children.
• NOT DEFIBRILLATOR PROOF
• Using the Genesis Touch on patients undergoing defibrillation may damage the monitor or peripheral equipment. DO
NOT use the monitor on patients undergoing defibrillation.
• PHYSICAL HAZARD
• Exercise care in the routing of external cables, wires and hoses to avoid creating a tripping hazard. DO NOT route cables
across a walkway.

Cautions
• This is a pre-configured medical device. DO NOT MAKE UNAUTHORIZED CHANGES TO THIS DEVICE’S
SETTING, as it may result in damage to the functionality of the medical device.
• DO NOT use an electrical wall outlet controlled by a light switch.
• USE ONLY HOMMED AUTHORIZED MEDICAL EQUIPMENT
• Attaching unauthorized equipment to the Honeywell HomMed Genesis Touch may cause damage or equipment failure,
including increased emissions or decreased immunity of the monitor.
• Do not use any AC adaptor other than the one that came with the Genesis Touch monitor. Do not attempt to connect any
device other than those indicated in this document to the Genesis Touch monitor.
• EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY RADIATION
• USA - FCC: This device must not be located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
• Canada - IC: The installer of this radio equipment must ensure that the antenna is located or pointed such that it does not
emit RF field in excess of Health Canada limits for the general population; consult Safety Code 6, obtainable from
Health Canada’s website www.hc-sc.gc.ca/rpb.
• SENSITIVE EQUIPMENT
• The monitor contains sensitive components. Liquids or chemicals will seriously damage the unit. DO NOT autoclave or
sterilize with ethylene oxide.
• DO NOT place on or near a heat source (e.g., stove, fireplace, heater, heat vent, etc.).
• DO NOT immerse any equipment in liquid. If liquid is spilled on the monitor, or if the unit has been dropped or
damaged, contact your care provider.
• Liquid spilled on the monitor may cause damage to the monitor and may present a safety hazard to the user/patient.
Should the monitor become wet, disconnect the power cord, wipe off all moisture and allow sufficient time for drying
before re-connecting power and operating the monitor. Contact your care provider for more information.
• BLOOD PRESSURE HOSE DAMAGE
• Bending, kinking, or otherwise restricting the blood pressure hose can damage the hose or interfere with readings.
• DO NOT bend or crimp blood pressure hoses. Keep hoses free from furniture or other objects that could compress them.
• ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATABILITY
• Electromagnetic compatibility of electrical equipment at very close distances to the monitor has not been evaluated.
• DO NOT use the Genesis Touch monitor adjacent to or stacked with other equipment (e.g., television, microwave).If it is
necessary to do so, observe the monitor and verify normal operation prior to use.
• TOUCH SCREEN DAMAGE
• Do not use sharp or pointed instruments as they may permanently damage the monitor’s screen. Use your fingers to
touch the monitor’s screen.
• Be sure to have a firm grip on the monitor at all times. Do not operate on your lap.Use monitor stand for stability.
• If monitor is dropped, broken glass could pose a hazardous condition.
• INCORRECT AC POWER RATINGS CAN DAMAGE MONITOR
• Incorrect AC power ratings could damage the monitor.
• Verify that the AC ratings noted on the power supply label match the power supply. If they do not match, do not use the
monitor. Contact your care provider.
• CHOKING AND TRIPPING HAZARD
• Some parts may present a choking hazard. Use only as instructed.
• Place all cords out of the way to avoid a tripping hazard.
• INCORRECT CONNECTION SEQUENCE CAN DAMAGE MONITOR
• Incorrect connection sequence when applying power could damage the Genesis Touch monitor.

BloodPressure
• Blood pressure measurements may not be representative if you are experiencing mild or moderate to severe arrhythmias.
• Ability to obtain blood pressure measurement may be impacted if you have tremors.
• Any condition that restricts blood flow, such as use of a blood pressure cuff, extremes in systemic vascular resistance, or low
perfusion may cause an inability to determine relevant pulse.
• Performance with common arrhythmias, such as atrial or ventricular premature heartbeats or atrial fibrillation, has been
verified by use of a patient simulator.
BloodOxygen
• SpO2 is not for continuous monitoring (no alarms).
• The presence of high ambient light may adversely affect SpO2 measurements. Shield the sensor area as necessary.
• If you wear fingernail polish or false nails, SpO2 measurements may be adversely affected. If necessary, remove polish or
false nails to obtain a reading.
• Dyes introduced into the bloodstream, such as methylene blue, indocyanine green, indigo carmine, patent blue V (PBV), and
fluorescein, may cause an inability to determine relevant SpO2 readings.
• Significant levels of dysfunctional hemoglobins, such as carboxyhemoglobin or methemoglobin, will affect the accuracy of
the SpO2 readings.
WeightMeasurement
• The Honeywell HomMed and the A&D scales are not stand-alone devices. The scale must be paired with a Genesis Touch
System to operate.
EquipmentOperation
• Dashes displayed in any parameter indicate the measurement is invalid or unavailable.
• The presence of strong EMI or RF sources, such as electrosurgery equipment may adversely affect operation of this device.
• The presence of computed tomography (CT) equipment may be adversely affected the operation of this device.

HandlingSpills
If you spill liquid on the monitor or scale:
• Unplug the monitor from the wall outlet.
• Wipe up the spill with a clean, soft cloth.
• Let the monitor dry completely.
• Notify your Home Care Agency you have disconnected the monitor.
• Once completely dry, plug the monitor back into your wall outlet.
Call your health care provider right away if:
