■ The Accu-Chek Inform II meter is capable of trans-
ferring to a suitable DMS, via WLAN, a data set of
up to 1000 result records, 100 reagent records, and
500 operator ID records in less than 15 minutes,
when operated in a typical WLAN environment
(correct WLAN administration, typical population of
other clients present, any of the supported security
models enabled).
■ Immediately after the operator has initiated the
sending of a blood glucose result, the Accu-Chek
Inform II meter will attempt to connect to the DMS.
In line with the industry communication standard
POCT1-A, the DMS must acknowledge the meter’s
request for connection and actively query for the
result. Only upon receipt of this DMS query, the
meter will send the result. Hence the effective time
for transmitting results depends on infrastructure,
DMS workload, etc. Once the DMS sends a query,
however, the meter will respond within a few
seconds.
■ An Accu-Chek Inform II meter with wireless con-
nectivity enabled will communicate results after
every test
1
or, when the meter is idle; it will auto-
matically attempt to communicate with the DMS
every 10 minutes.
1. The meter will attempt to transmit the result after touching
. If the meter is left to power off automatically (see
page 21) or powered off manually using the On/Off button
the result will be transmitted only after another 10 minutes
in the next communication cycle.
