1 Introduction
1.1 System Overview
The Polytel
®
Data Transmission system is designed to allow patients with chronic
conditions to be monitored remotely. It consists of a series of wireless medical devices, an
Access Point designed to forward data to the data center, and of a monitoring service.
The PWA-08-01 is an Access Point, or “hub” that collects information from medical
devices in the home and forwards them over a regular telephone line.
The PWR-08-01 and PWR-08-02 are accessories that are incorporated into various host
devices, providing a simple way for a host to transmit its data wirelessly to a receiving
station.
The PWR-08-03 is an in-pouch accessory that provides a simple way for host device to
transmit its data wirelessly to a receiving station, allowing remote recording or monitoring
of host values.
When a measurement is taken on a compatible medical device, the radio module
automatically retrieves the new measurement and tries to forward it to the Access Point.
Should that Access Point be unreachable or unavailable, it will periodically retry the
transmission, and eventually shut itself down automatically.
1.2 Intended Use and User
The Polytel
®
system is intended to be used for the home monitoring of the values of
various host devices. Typical applications include remote monitoring of glucose levels in
diabetic patients, or monitoring of weight and BP in congestive heart failure patients.
The devices are intended to be operated by patients in their homes.
NOTE: Polymap Wireless is not responsible for the measurement, diagnosis,
or electrical safety of the Host Medical Devices. The Polytel

System is a Data
Transmission System only.
