Introduction

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

Keeping the System Working

With this system, it’s easy to take your measurements from the comfort of your home. The measurements are sent over your phone line or using the eDevice Cellular Accessory to your healthcare provider’s computer.

If the TeleStation is connected to a landline telephone, feel free to talk on your landline 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.

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.

Device Description

The Philips Telemonitoring Set consists of a 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 (blood oxygen levels, pulse rate), and Glucose Meter Cable (glucose level).

Note: The PTS system provides only a cable for connecting the patient’s glucose meter to the system.

Overview

Philips Telemonitoring Set

This section provides a brief description of each of these devices. More detailed descriptions of how to use each device to take a measurement are given in the sections that follow.

TeleStation After you take a measurement, such as weight, the TeleStation receives the result.

It then sends the result to your healthcare provider’s computer or over the cellular telephone network using the eDevice Cellular Accessory.

If your TeleStation is connected to a landline, and you pick up your telephone while the 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 TeleStation will send the result when the phone line is open.

Your healthcare provider will call you if your results are not received.

Indicators. The TeleStation has lights on the front that indicate what it is

currently doing.

The on or on/survey waiting light stays lit as long as the TeleStation is plugged in.
