2. Purpose of the Device (Intended Use)
The GlucoTel Blood Glucose Monitoring and Diabetes Management System is
used at home for monitoring and management of blood glucose results by the
patient as well as their healthcare professionals, diabetes educators or caregivers.
The GlucoTel Meter is capable to communicate with a dedicated Bluetooth,
Java and Internet enabled cell phone. The meter, in conjunction with a patient’s
dedicated cell phone and BodyTel software ‘BodyTel Mobile’, automatically and
wirelessly transmits the user’s blood glucose results to the secure online database,
the ‘BodyTel Center’, where the results and data are saved and secured in the
password protected patient log book. The patient has complete control of their
profile, authorizing whom they wish to monitor results such as their healthcare
professionals, diabetes educators and caregivers.
Patient details can be accessed from the secure BodyTel Center online databa-
se from all over the world by the patient and those authorized to monitor the
patient’s results.
The GlucoTel is for:
Home or Professional Use.

In vitro
•
Diagnostic Use.
Monitoring blood glucose in fresh capillary whole blood from a fingertip and
•

3. Technical Explanation
When the drop of blood is placed to the edge of a test strip that is inserted in
the meter, it reacts with chemicals on the test strip. This reaction makes a small
electric current that is then measured by the GlucoTel meter. The glucose result is
displayed by the GlucoTel meter and is stored by time and date.
The GlucoTel measuring process is controlled by a microprocessor inside the
meter. The microprocessor also controls the internal calibration of the device. If
there is an operating failure the meter will give you error messages (see Section 8
“Troubleshooting”)
