Scales
There are two scales: a Fairbanks scale and the Honeywell HomMed scale. Both scales have a capacity of
500 lb (227 kg) and collect weight using four load cells, one in each corner of the scale. The accuracy of
the weight is +/- 0.5 lb (0.2kg). The Genesis DM supplies power and communication to the scale
through the scale cord.
NOTE: Only the Fairbanks scale is available in Europe.
The following table identifies distinguishing features of each scale.

NIBP
The NIBP module inside the monitor measures systolic pressure and diastolic pressure. Blood pressure
measurements determined with this device are equivalent to those obtained by a trained observer using
the cuff/stethoscope auscultatory method within the limits prescribed by the AAMI SP10, Electronic or
Automated Sphygmomanometers. A copy of the Report Study Findings performed for the AAMI SP10
evaluation is available upon request. Pressures are calculated by a proprietary algorithm as follows:
Systolic:
The cuff pressure when an increase in oscillations is perceived
Diastolic:
The cuff pressure when oscillations are no longer decreasing as pressure is released from
the cuff
Heart pulse rate is also collected with the blood pressure and that value is transmitted. However, it is
only posted in LifeStream (or the monitor) if an oximeter heart pulse rate reading is not present.
The blood pressure cuff is a D-ring style cuff that complies with SP10 specifications for cuff length and
width. The cuff is available in the following sizes:
