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, temperature, blood sugar, prothrombin time/
international normalized ratio (PT/INR), peak expiratory flow (PEF) and forced expiratory volume (FEV1). The GenesisTouch
System collects, displays and transmits vital signs measurements from commercially available medical devices designed for
home use. Collected measurement data from the Genesis Touch System can then 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 patients and caregivers or in a healthcare related environment by healthcare providers.
Contra-Indications: The Genesis Touch System is not intended for emergency use or real-time monitoring and does not have
auditory or visual alarms for out-of-limit parameters.

Contact Information
The monitor is NOT an emergency contact device. If you are experiencing an
emergency use your phone for help. Use the table below for important information:

scheduled so that your Genesis Touch reminds you when to take vital signs.
Handling Spills
Call your health care provider right away if the spill was more than a few drops or
if liquid is inside the monitor. 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.

• Notify your care provider that you have disconnected the monitor.
• Only if you are sure the monitor is dry, plug the monitor back into the outlet.
