13. Network Connectivity and Security
The Coag-Sense meter offers the ability to receive product software
updates from the manufacturer via the Internet. The Coag-Sense meter
can be connected to a Local Area Network (LAN) via either a direct
Ethernet connection or wirelessly using Wi-Fi. If this meter is connected
to a local area network, the network must be protected against
unauthorized access. Customers are responsible for the security of their
local area network, especially in protecting it against malicious software
and attacks. This protection might include measures, such as a firewall
to separate the device from uncontrolled networks and intrusion
detection that ensure that the connected network is free of malicious
code including intrusion detection.
14. Bluetooth App Security
For security reasons, it is recommended that you only connect your
Coag-Sense meter to Bluetooth apps that have been provided to you by
your home testing service provider or CoaguSense.
15. Meter Software Update
When connected to the Internet the Coag-
Sense meter will check for the availability of
meter software updates which can be
downloaded. If the meter is not
continuously connected to the Internet, you
should make it a practice to periodically
connect the meter to the Internet to check
for software updates. If a critical update is available, the meter may
require the installation of an update prior to proceeding with testing.
Make sure to check if the battery is charged enough before performing
an update. If the battery‟s charge is not enough and then the meter is
abruptly turned off during update, an error may occur on the meter.
