Introduction
Welcome
Welcome to Philips Telemonitoring Services.
When you use this product, you’ll take a few minutes every day to
measure your weight, vital signs, and/or glucose.
These measurements will help you and your healthcare provider make
better decisions about your care. You are providing information that can
help improve your quality of life.
How the
System
Works
With this system, it’s easy to take your measurements from the comfort
of your home. The measurements are sent over your phone line to your
healthcare provider’s computer
Feel free to talk on your phone at any time -- the system is “smart”
enough to know when the phone line is open. It will wait and then send
the information after you hang up.
Keeping the
System
Working
If at any time you suspect something is wrong with any of the devices,
immediately contact your healthcare provider. Philips will replace any
defective device. You can also cross-check your results with another
device if additional measurement devices of the same type are available
to you.
This Instructions for Use contains easy-to-follow steps for taking your
measurements. It also shows you how to maintain the devices so that
they will continue to take accurate readings.
Thank You! Thank you for taking an active role in your home healthcare plan. Philips
and your healthcare provider applaud your efforts to actively participate
in your health care plan.

Philips Telemonitoring Services System
1-2 Introduction
Philips Telemonitoring Services System
Your Philips Telemonitoring Services system includes a set of
measurement devices known as the Patient Telemonitoring Set. Each
device takes an important measurement -- such as weight, blood
pressure, pulse rate, heart rhythm, %SpO2-- and then wirelessly sends
that measurement to the Home Hub or TeleStation. A patient’s glucose
meter can also send glucose measurements to a TeleStation using a
special cable.
Your healthcare provider decides whether you will use one or all of the
measurement devices below. The HomeHub/TeleStation is the
"communications center." It receives your measurements from the
devices and sends them over your phone line to your healthcare
provider’s computer. The computer keeps a record of all of your vital
sign measurements for review by your healthcare provider.

Device Descriptions
2-2 Philips Telemonitoring Set
Device Descriptions
The Philips Telemonitoring Set consists of a Home Hub or
TeleStation, which serves as the "communications center" of the system,
and devices that measure important healthcare vital signs -- Scale
(weight), Blood Pressure Monitor (blood pressure), Rhythm Strip
Recorder (heart rhythm), Pulse Oximeter (%SpO2, pulse rate), Glucose
Meter (glucose level).
Note: The PTS system provides only a cable for connecting the
patient’s glucose meter to the system.
This section provides a brief description of each of these devices. More
detailed descriptions of how to use each device to make its measurement
are given in the sections that follow.
Home Hub/
TeleStation You will have either a Home Hub or a TeleStation, depending on the
home healthcare plan designed for you.
After you take a measurement, such as weight, the Home Hub/
TeleStation receives the result. It then sends the result to your healthcare
provider’s computer when both telephone lines (yours and the
computer’s) are free.
If you pick up your telephone while the Home Hub/TeleStation is
dialing or sending the result, you will not hear a dial tone. Hang up the
phone and wait for 5 seconds. Then make your call. The Home Hub/
TeleStation will send the result when the phone line is open. Your
healthcare provider will call you if your results are not received.

TeleStation is plugged in.
If you have the TeleStation and the on/survey waiting light is
flashing, you have questions to answer. Your healthcare provider may
activate the TeleStation to beep every 60 seconds to alert you that a
survey is waiting.
The data or holding results light comes on when the Home Hub or
TeleStation receives your measurement results and stays on until those
results have been sent over the telephone.
The using phone light comes on when the Home Hub or TeleStation
is sending your results to your healthcare provider’s computer.
Warnings The following Warnings apply to the use of Home Hub/TeleStations.
Warning •Use only the Philips-supplied power adapter for the Home Hub/
TeleStation.

•If you have a personal response service (except for LifeLine
Systems), it must be installed on its own phone line (not just a
separate telephone jack).
If you have a LifeLineSystem telephone, ensure that the Home
Hub/Telestation is plugged into the phone jack labeled AUX on the
back of the LifeLineunit.
•Do not touch, use, clean, or handle the Home Hub/TeleStation or
your connected glucose meter during a thunderstorm.
Cautions The following Cautions apply to using the HomeHub or TeleStation.
Caution •Avoid placing the Home Hub/TeleStation on a metal surface or
inside a metal enclosure as it can interfere with the radio signal.
•Do not use electronic devices, such as cordless and cellular phones
and computers, near the Home Hub/TeleStation
•Avoid placing large appliances or metal furniture near the Home
Hub/TeleStation as they can block radio signals from the
measurement devices.
•High temperatures can affect the LCD screen of your TeleStation.
–Choose a location away from direct sunlight.
–Operate the TeleStation at room temperature.
•Make sure that the Home Hub/TeleStation is plugged into its
telephone jack and electrical outlet at all times, except when
cleaning or prior to an impending lightning storm.
•Make sure that a light switch or power strip does not turn off power
to the Home Hub/TeleStation.
•Clear voice mail messages. Telephone services that modify the dial
tone, such as voice mail, can interfere with transmissions made by
the Home Hub/TeleStation.
