Intended Use

The PTS Connect™ adapter featuring Bluetooth® technology is intended for use by

professional customers. The PTS Connect adapter can be inserted into the MEMo Chip®

port of a CardioChek® PA or CardioChek® Plus analyzer and the results can be

transferred to a computer. For professional use only.

Compatibility

The PTS Connect adapter is designed to work with Bluetooth-equipped systems running

Windows or Android.

Installation of PTS Connect adapter in analyzer / Installation of MEMo Chip

 Ensure the CardioChek analyzer is turned off. If the CardioChek analyzer is on, turn it

off by pressing and holding both buttons until the analyzer shuts off.

 The PTS Connect adapter may only be installed into the analyzer’s MEMo Chip port.

No other accessory (such as a printer cable) should be simultaneously connected to

the MEMo Chip port.

 Insert the PTS Connect adapter into the MEMo Chip port with the PTS Connect logo

facing towards the front of the analyzer.

 Insert the MEMo Chip into the PTS Connect adapter with the label facing towards

the back of the analyzer.

When using the CardioChek PA analyzer with the PTS Connect adapter, the analyzer

must be set to PC Output. (Refer to the CardioChek PA user guide for instructions.) No

setting changes are required for the CardioChek Plus analyzer.

Pairing

Follow the computer’s operating system procedure to pair a device.

1. Insert the device into an analyzer and power-on the analyzer. The device should be

discoverable, with a device name of PTS-{Bluetooth ID}. Verify that the ID printed

on the top side of the PTS Connect adapter matches the digits after “PTS-” in name

of the device discovered by the computer.

2. Only pair one PTS Connect adapter to one PC or Android device at a time. Pairing

the PTS Connect adapter with multiple devices introduces a risk that test results

could be mistakenly sent to the wrong device.

3. When prompted by the operating system for a PIN number, enter the number

printed on the bottom side of the PTS Connect adapter.

4. If the PIN number has been entered correctly, the computer will successfully pair

with the PTS Connect adapter.

5. Run a sample test or send a result from the analyzer memory to the data capture

application. (See the CardioChek analyzer user guide for running a test or sending

results from memory.)
