Additional notes
•
The patient should attempt at least two times to obtain a reading without noise. Even if the second
reading has noise, the patient should still transmit the reading.
•
The ecg@home does not have an OFF button. The device automatically turns off after five minutes.
When connected to the Genesis DM monitor, the monitor turns the device off after a successful
transmission.
•
The monitor erases the reading prior to turning the device off.
•
If the patient uses the device as a stand-alone (not connecting it to the monitor), the device erases
the old reading when the patient turns it on.
Cleaning the ecg@home
Always disconnect the device from the Genesis DM monitor prior to cleaning. Clean the device with a
soft cloth moistened with the K2 solution. Do not use water, detergent or any other cleaning product.
To clean the electrodes, moisten a cotton swab with the K2 solution and gently swab clean. To
disinfect the unit, use a solution of isopropyl alcohol (60-70%) and water (30-40%).
