Technical implementation Prior to connecting any wireless device to a wireless net-
work, it is recommended that a WLAN site survey be per-
formed. The goal of a WLAN site survey is to ensure that
Access Points will provide enough coverage and per-
formance to support any new radio frequency (RF) appli-
cation or device. The survey will also detail RF signals,
including all existing WLANs along with any competing
RF signals and interferences (building structure related
and other wireless equipment / devices).
As part of an RF implementation of the CoaguChek Pro II
system, it is recommended that at minimum one Hand-
held Base Unit be hard wired per floor. A networked
Handheld Base Unit provides redundancy if a wireless
network malfunctions or loses service. If the CoaguChek
Pro II meter with RF is used in an area with low signal or
interferences, it is recommended to install a connected
Handheld Base Unit for redundancy. The redundancy of
the connected Handheld Base Unit allows immediate
transmission of patient results when the meter is docked.
