•
Dyes introduced into the bloodstream, such as methylene blue, indocyanine green, indigo carmine,
patent blue V (PBV), and fluorescein, may cause an inability to determine relevant SpO2 readings.
•
Any condition that restricts blood flow, such as use of a blood pressure cuff, extremes in systemic
vascular resistance, or low perfusion may cause an inability to determine relevant pulse.
•
Significant levels of dysfunctional hemoglobins, such as carboxyhemoglobin or methemoglobin, will
affect the accuracy of the SpO2 readings.
•
SpO2 is not for continuous monitoring (no alarms).
•
SpO2 measurements may be adversely affected in the presence of high ambient light. If necessary,
shield the sensor area.
•
SpO2 measurements may be adversely affected if the patient wears fingernail polish or false nails. If
necessary, remove polish or nails to obtain a reading.
•
Dashes displayed in any parameter indicate the measurement is invalid or unavailable.
•
To prevent cross-contamination, clean the monitor and all accessories prior to assigning equipment
to a new patient. Please see cleaning procedures located in this manual.
•
The Honeywell HomMed scale is not a stand-alone device. The scale must be connected to a
Honeywell HomMed monitor to operate.

When you set up a monitor for demo use
When you use a Genesis DM monitor to demonstrate the monitor, the potential exists for demo data
to transmit to an actual patient record. LifeStream holds data packets for 48 hours, attempting to find
the patient that matches the monitor’s serial number. If you use a monitor to transmit demo data and
then assign the monitor to a patient within the 48-hour window, LifeStream will treat the demo data as
that patient’s data. To prevent posting demo data to a patient record:
In
Transmit Mode
, set the monitor to
Local Gateway
so that the Genesis DM monitor does not
transmit a data packet.
