A.9.6 WiFi Usage Considerations
The
StatStrip Glucose Hospital Meter with wireless option
is
certiedforuseonWirelessLocalAreaNetworks(WLANs)
using electromagnetic waves in the 2.4 GHz and/or 5 GHz
frequency ranges to wirelessly transmit data. The three of
the currently recognized IEEE standards for WLANs utilized
by the
StatStrip Glucose Hospital Meter with wireless option
are 802.11a, 802.11b and 802.11g.
During wireless communication to a Wireless Access Point
(WAP), the StatStrip Glucose Hospital Meter with wireless
optionrecognizesthelocalWAPWLANprotocolcongura-
tion (802.11a, 802.11b and/or 802.11g) and automatically
transmits data using the appropriate communication protocol.
The signal quality and strength or access to bandwidth of
one particular WAP client may vary depending on one or
more of the following situations:
• Type and number of other clients or devices con-
nected
• Performance of the Wireless Access Point
• In the presence of electromagnetic disturbances
• Or other potential interference factors, e.g., concrete
walls
When undocked and communicating via WiFi, the StatStrip
Glucose Hospital Meter with wireless option uses a burst-like
communication protocol that will only consume bandwidth
when results are to be sent or when a Patient or Operator
ID query is initiated. Compared to other wireless applica-
tions, the meter’s bandwidth consumption is minimal. If the
WLAN connection to the meter is degraded, the meter is
designed to eliminate any impact on testing functionality.
The WiFi Radio may only be setup by a device management
system,whichconguresthemeter’swirelesscommunica-
tion functions capabilities. Wireless connectivity can help
to ensure that data is sent immediately from all networked
meters.
NOTE: The meter must be returned to the docking station
for battery recharging and full data exchange with
the device manager.
