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 office
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.

• To use the GMA, all you have to do is take the
reading using glucose meter as usual. For certain
meter models, removing the test strip will start the
data transmission; for others you may need to press a
button. Please see below for details
To make sure all data is sent to your provider, if the GMA
is unable to find a receiving station, it will save the reading
along with the date and time you took it. The old reading
will be sent along with the next reading.
1.2 Who is this for?
The GMA is intended for diabetic patients who want to
monitor their glucose levels remotely. It can be used by
patients in their homes and in their daily lives.
1.3 Configurations
The GMA is available in a number of different
configurations, which determine which glucose meters
are supported. Configurations are selected by inserting
the proper cable into the GMA: Cable must be firmly
inserted until flush.

2 Parts of the GMA
Your GMA is easy to maintain, set up and use.
The most important part to pay attention to is the indicator
light on the device. Different blinking patterns tell you
when the GMA is sending data, whether it was sent
successfully or not, and when it is time to change the
batteries.
2.1 Visual indicators
The GMA has small blue and red indicator lights in the
pushbutton that blink in different patterns when it is doing
different things.

GMA blinks fast immediately after waking up. Here is how
