RTX3370 TELEHEALT H M O N I TOR • USER MANUAL
The RTX3370 is for use in non-clinical settings (such as the home), as an accessory device that
is intended to be a communication tool to enable healthcare providers to receive historical patient
information. It is intended to be used in combination with a variety of external devices. The RTX3370
serves as the remote communication link between compatible external devices, and the compatible
healthcare facility at another location. The healthcare facility could be at a disease management centre
or with the healthcare/wellness provider or other out of hospital caregivers.
The purpose is to collect and transmit selected medical information (such as weight, blood pressure,
blood glucose) over a normal residential telephone line. The RTX3370 does not measure, interpret or
make any decisions on the vital data that it conveys.
Important information
n It is important that the cables be carefully arranged and secured to avoid unintended disconnection, or
the possibility of tripping or blocking the path of a wheelchair or other moving objects.
n Be careful not to use a power socket that may be switched off unintendedly.
n Do not install or service the device, power adapter or cables during an electrical storm.
n Do not place the RTX3370 in extreme climatic conditions (excessive heat or humidity, in direct
sunlight or where it may be exposed to large amounts of dust).
n Do not place beverages near the RTX3370 as spills may easily result in serious damage.
n Protect the device and cables from damage.
n Keep pets and small children away from the area where the RTX3370 and cables are located.

The RTX3370 Telehealth Monitor is used for reception and communication of measurements taken
by on-site external devices such as Blood Pressure Monitors, Personal Weight Scales, Blood Glucose
Meters and other compatible devices: The communication will be performed using:
n Wireless data connection.
n Infrared data connection.
n Cable connection.
The display on the RTX3370 can be used to show questions that can be answered by pushing the selection
buttons below the display. The current function of the right and left selection buttons will be stated in the
display. If nothing is stated the button is disabled. A speaker is used to support the information shown
in the display verbally. If a menu appears, where different options are listed the up and down buttons to
the right of the display can be used to navigate in the list before selecting the appropriate choice. After
the RTX3370 has received the measured values and answers, it generates a call and conveys the data to
a remote facility via a public telephone line. In some cases, the RTX3370 is programmed to deliver data
at a specic time of the day. The delivery of data will automatically be repeated if the attempt to deliver
data fails.
Cleaning and Maintenance
The RTX3370 may be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth or a cloth dampened with tap water and a mild
detergent. A household glass cleaner on a soft, dry cloth may be used to clean off smudges. Never use any
solvent, thinner, lighter uid, alcohol, wet wipes or similar products on the RTX3370.
