StatStrip Glucose Hospital Meter
Tochangeanyofthemetercongurationswirelessly,in-
cluding the radio settings and/or meter setup, the StatStrip
Glucose Hospital Meter with wireless option must be placed
in the docking station with the radio turned on and properly
congured.
A.9.7 WiFi Technical Considerations
Prior to connecting any StatStrip Glucose Hospital Meter
with wireless option to a wireless network, Nova Biomedical
recommends that a WLAN site survey be performed.
The WLAN site survey
• To ensure that Wireless Access Points will provide
enough coverage
• The performance is enough to support the StatStrip
Glucose Hospital Meter with wireless option.
• Detail RF signals, including all existing WLANs
along with any competing RF signals
• Interferences (building structure related and other
wireless equipment / devices).
Recommendation of a Wireless Meter implementation:
• A minimum of one wired docking station be con-
nected via an RJ-45 network jack per usage area.
• A networked docking station provides redundancy
if a wireless network malfunctions, loses service,
or if the meter radio fails to operate correctly.
• If used in an area with low signal or interferences,
it is recommended to install a connected wired
docking station for redundancy.
• The connected docking station allows immediate
bidirectional transmission of data when the radio
is turned off and the meter is docked.
