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 commun ication 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

BeforeYouBegin
When the Genesis Touch is originally shipped, no peripherals are paired and a screen similar to the
following appears when you select Peripherals, from the General Settings screen:
1. To add a peripheral, select the Add icon (). A screen similar to the following appears:
2. Select the type of peripheral you want to set up. A screen for that peripheral appears ready for you to
edit.
3. Refer to the pairing instructions for the peripheral you are setting up for more information.
The following table is intended to help pair peripherals in a clinical environment. As a best practice, it is
recommended to select user peripherals and pair them away from other Bluetooth peripherals in storage.
You are able to match a unique ID number on your peripheral with what is displayed by the Genesis Touch
as a Bluetooth device ID. You may then assign this identification to the LifeStream equipment tracker for
each patient for better health plan management. See the HomMed.com clinical support page for more info.

SettingUpaScale
If your kit includes a scale, you will need to:
•Find a location for the scale
•Properly assemble your scale if necessary and follow all directions in the manual.
•Configure the monitor to use the type of scale you have and then pair (establish a Bluetooth wireless
connection) the scale with the monitor.
GeneralGuidelines
Before you place the scale, look for the scale’s serial number and write it down so that you have it for
pairing to the monitor.
Depending on the scale you have, it is either powered by four AA batteries or plugged into an electrical
outlet through an AC adapter. Refer to the scale manufacturer’s instructions for more information.
Scales should be located on hard, un-carpeted surfaces with pressure evenly placed on all four corners. Be
sure to take the patient’s mobility into account when placing the scale.
The scale should be close enough to the monitor that it is able to connect via the Bluetooth range (less than
30 feet (10 meters)). It is best if the scale can be placed in a permanent location and has enough room for
the patient to be able to stand on it comfortably without support for the time it takes the monitor to collect
their weight (approximately ten seconds without movement).
Make sure that the scale is in the proper location and doesn’t have any weight on it before you attempt to
pair it with the monitor. If there is weight on the scale when you power up, it will not zero
correctly.
DO NOT place your scale in a wet location or near a sink or tub.
Honeywell HomMed provides two Bluetooth scale options: a HomMed scale (default) and an Accuro
scale. Bluetooth scales require that you pair the scale with a Bluetooth connection and depending on which
scale you have, they will be paired differently.
To configure the type of scale you have:
1. From the General Setting screen, select Device. The following appears, select scale type:
Before you can use these bluetooth scales, you need to pair one with the Genesis Touch monitor. Refer to
Configuring the Scale Type for more information.
1. Power up the HomMed scale by either inserting batteries or plugging the AC adapter into an electrical
outlet and into the scale connector under the scale handle.
2. From the General Settings screen, select Peripherals. A Peripherals screen similar to the following
appears:
