Polytel® Data Transmission System

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.

The Remote boards are either inside of or cabled to various medical devices

2.1 PWA-08-01 Access Point

This represents the central component of the Polytel® Data Transmission System, and is
used to gather data from all of the accessories. It is pictured in Figure 2.

2.2 Remote accessories

All the system accessories are built around the PWR-08 Remote module. Three different
hardware configurations exist, the PWR-08-01 (board with no case, no battery, onboard
antenna) the PWR-08-02 (board with no case, no battery, external antenna), and the PWR­08-03 (which includes an onboard antenna, a case and a battery and incorporates special
circuitry to interface with a host). The individual accessories differ mainly in what
software is loaded on them.

This accessory has an onboard antenna (see Figure 2), and is incorporated into hosts by
device manufacturers.

2.4 PWR-08-02 Remote

This accessory is incorporated into hosts by device manufacturers; it incorporates an
external patch antenna for use in hosts that have metal shielding.

2.5 PWR-08-03

This accessory consists of a circuit board in a plastic housing intended to hold two
batteries. The unit (Pictured in Figure 2) is designed to be connected by its cable to a host.

4 Operating Instructions

4.1 Installation and setup

The effective radio range of the Access Point and the matching medical devices is around
330 feet (100 meters). Please choose a location in your house that is centrally located, or

close to where the measuring devices will be used.

CAUTION – To reduce the risk of explosion or fire do not use this
equipment in presence of flammable Anaesthetic mixture with Air or with
Oxygen or Nitrous Oxide.

1) Connect a telephone cord between the Access Point and a telephone jack on the

wall. An extra telephone outlet is provided on the back of the Access Point so you
can plug a telephone into the same outlet.

2) CAUTION – To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger

telecommunication line cord.

3) Connect the 6VDC power to the back of the unit, and plug the AC Adapter into a

regular AC outlet. When the device is connected, expect all the front-panel LEDs
to light momentarily, with the leftmost (Power) LED remaining on, and the 2nd
LED (Radio) blinking at roughly one-second intervals (see Figure 4).

4) To mount the unit on the wall (OPTIONAL), two screws, mounted horizontally, on

1.5” (37mm) centers, can be used. Please use screws and anchoring systems
appropriate to the wall material. The screw head size should be between ¼” and
3/8” (5-9 mm).

4.2 Location of devices

For successful use of the system, it is vital to remember that at its core, the Polytel Data
Transmission System is wireless. This means that the transmitting device must be
located within radio range of the Access Point, normally 330 feet. Note that various
types of physical barriers, including walls, can reduce the effective range of the
devices. The variety of construction methods makes predicting the effective range in a
particular setting difficult.

Do not place Access Point on a metal surface or in a metal enclosure as

this is likely to interfere with correct operation.

FCC Radiation Exposure Statement: This equipment complies with FCC
radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment
should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20 cm between the
equipment and your body. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
