1. Introduction
1.1 Overview
Welcome to the world of wireless medical monitoring. In
this pamphlet, you will learn how to use and maintain your
Polytel® GMA Glucose Meter Accessory.
The GMA is an easy-to-use accessory that lets you send
the glucose readings you take with your glucose meter
wirelessly to a receiving station.
No more worrying about writing down the test results and
carrying them in to your doctor every visit—it is all done
automatically in your own home.
There are three parts to sending your readings wirelessly:
•
You measure your glucose on the glucose meter.
•
The GMA receives the reading from the meter and
sends it wirelessly to the phone or receiving station.
•
The phone receives, stores, and sends your readings
to your service provider – often your doctor’s offi ce
or a monitoring service. The receiving station is a
separate device that is either a cell phone, a self-
contained box, called an “ access point,” or your
personal computer. Your monitoring service can
explain how to use the receiving station.
