Wireless connectivity
If the meter is equipped with WLAN functionality:
Wireless connectivity allows the meter to send data (test results, patient IDs, operator IDs, etc.) to
the data management system without the need to return the meter to the Handheld Base Unit.
This feature must be configured by the system administrator. Observe the guidelines of your
facility for using wireless local area network connections. For a description of the cobas h 232
meter’s ability to connect to Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN, Wi-Fi), see appendix B.
Radiofrequency radiation exposure information
The Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) radio frequencies may contain emissions from micro-
wave ovens, heaters, and other noncommunication devices. While these types of devices usually
pose no threat of interference as they are low-powered devices, the possibility exists that some
industrial high power systems may wipe out any attempted communication use of a WLAN.
Therefore, perform a site survey and interference analysis with a spectrum analyzer to view the
entire spectrum, looking for signals that might not only be within the frequency range of the
intended WLAN but also could be near or at the same frequency and cause interference.
Roche Diagnostics supports industry wireless standards and recommends using
products that have Wi-Fi certification. This certification tests products to the 802.11
industry standards for basic connectivity, security, authentication, Quality of
Service (QoS), interoperability and reliability. The Wi-Fi CERTIFIED logo is an assurance that the
Wi-Fi Alliance has tested a product in numerous configurations and with a diverse sampling of
other devices to ensure compatibility with other Wi-Fi CERTIFIED equipment that operates in the
same frequency band. The Wi-Fi Alliance network of independent test labs conducts inter-
operability testing programs to ensure that wireless devices work together and support secure
connections.
