as reference (if available). The green line indicates systolic pressure, blue indicates mean pressure, and red indicates diastolic
pressure.
3. If the reading is acceptable, select the Yes button to save the reading. If the reading is unacceptable, select the No button and
repeat the reading.
Step 4: Transfer Data
For routine follow-ups, transferring the patient information and readings back to the Merlin.net Patient Care Network Heart Failure
Management Application is an optional step. The advantage is that all follow-up readings will be visible on the website along with the
home readings.
If there is any change to the baseline it is important to transfer the information back to the Merlin.net Patient Care Network Heart
Failure Management Application so that the system in your patient’s home uses the updated baseline.
1. Select Exit from the data acquisition screen. The readings will print.
2. You will be prompted to save the information to a USB flash drive.
3. Insert the USB flash drive and select OK.
4. Import the information into the Merlin.net Patient Care Network Heart Failure Management Application.
Step 5: Shutting Down the System
To shut down the system:
1. Navigate to the Main screen.
2. Select Shut Down on the Main screen.
