6.4 Data transmission 

Test results stored in the GlucoMen® areo 2K meter’s memory can be 

also  downloaded  to  GlucoLog®  software  or  apps  by  means  of  either 

NFC, a dedicated cable, or a Bluetooth dongle distributed by A. Menarini 

Diagnostics only.

  

NOTE

  GlucoLog®  software  and  apps,  data  cable,  and  Bluetooth  dongles 

are supplied separately. See relevant user manuals for instructions on 

how to download data.

6.4.1 NFC transmission

For data transmission by means of NFC, the NFC function must be enabled 

on  the  GlucoMen®  areo  2K  meter  (§7.6)  and  an  NFC  equipped  device 

(such as a Smartphone) with GlucoLog® apps.

1. Activate  the  NFC  transmission  on  the  GlucoLog®  app  of  the  NFC 

equipped device.

2. Bring  the  GlucoMen®  areo  2K  NFC  antenna  close  (<  1  cm)  to  the 

antenna of the NFC equipped device.

  

NOTE

  Data will be transmitted even when the meter is switched off or in 

memory recall mode.

1. Data transmission will start automatically (the GlucoMen® areo 2K meter 

will turn on and the 

 blinking icon will be displayed on the screen).

2. When the data transmission is completed, “End” will be displayed on 

the GlucoMen® areo 2K meter screen (together with the 

 icon), and a 

beeper will sound once.

3. Press   for 3 seconds to switch off the meter

   

WARNING

Data transmission via NFC may decrease battery life.

thresholds. Based on the values set, the screen will show “hypo” or “hyper”, 

depending on whether your blood glucose test result is below your low 

glucose or above your high glucose threshold values.

   

WARNING

  Consult your doctor or healthcare provider when setting the Hypo 

and Hyper values. 

  Do not alter or stop your medication based on this feature, always 

consult your doctor or healthcare provider before altering or 

stopping medication.

Your  GlucoMen®  areo  2K  blood  glucose  and  β-ketone  meter  has  an 

additional warning feature that allows you to set a blood glucose threshold 

as a warning for blood β-ketone testing. When the β-ketone test warning is 

turned ON, if your blood glucose is above the set threshold, the KETONE 

ICON will start blinking and an intermittent beep will sound, reminding the 

user that a blood β-ketone test would be recommended.
