Pairing
Refer to the tablet, computer, or smartphone user guide for instructions on how to pair
that device with the PTS Connect Blu-Dock device.
1. Check to make sure that the batteries are installed into the PTS Connect Blu-Dock
device. The device should be discoverable–in the menu of available Bluetooth-
ready devices, look for the name “PTS- {Bluetooth ID}”. Verify that the digits in the
ID printed on the bottom label of the PTS Connect Blu-Dock device match the digits
in the “PTS- “ discovered by the device.
2. Only pair one device at a time to the PTS Connect Blu-Dock device. Pairing the
PTS Connect Blu-Dock device with multiple devices raises the likelihood of
mistakenly sending test results to the wrong device.
3. When prompted to enter a PIN number, enter the number printed on the bottom
side of the PTS Connect Blu-Dock device.
4. If the PIN number is entered correctly, the device will successfully pair with the
PTS Connect Blu-Dock device.
5. Successful pairing of the PTS Connect Blu-Dock device will be indicated by a
message from the tablet, computer, or smartphone.
6. Run a sample test or send a result from the analyzer memory to the data capture
application. (See the A1CNow analyzer user guide for instructions on how to run
a test.)
7. Important: Verfiy that the results shown on the analyzer match those on the
data capture application. This step ensures that the PTS Connect Blu-Dock device is
correctly paired with the assigned tablet, computer, or smartphone.
Unpairing
Follow the tablet, computer, or smartphone user guide for instructions on how to
unpair the device from the PTS Connect Blu-Dock device. Failure to unpair the
PTS Connect Blu-Dock from the device raises the likelihood that the test results could
be mistakenly sent to the wrong device during the next event. Important: This step
ensures that the PTS Connect Blu-Dock device does not automatically pair with the
computer device at the next use.
Transferring Results to a Data Capture Application
Perform the following steps to transmit the very last test result from an A1CNow
analyzer to a PTS Connect Blu-Dock device with a data capture application.
1. Make sure the batteries are installed into the PTS Connect Blu-Dock device.
2. Run the application on the computing device that captures results
from the PTS Connect Blu-Dock device.
3. Run a test on an A1CNow analyzer.
4. Once testing is complete and the result is displayed on the screen,
remove the test cartridge from the analyzer.
5. Place the analyzer on the cradle of the PTS Connect Blu-Dock device
and press it down to transfer the result.
6. Upon successful transfer of the results, the PTS Connect Blu-Dock device will
produce a two-tone beep. Once the beep is heard, release the analyzer.
The result has been transferred to the application.
7. Remove the analyzer from the PTS Connect Blu-Dock device.
8. The PTS Connect Blu-Dock device is ready for the next test result
to be transferred.
Printing Results to the CardioChek/PTS Connect Printer
Perform the following steps to transmit a test result from an A1CNow analyzer
to a CardioChek/PTS Connect printer and print a label.
1. Make sure the batteries are installed in the PTS Connect Blu-Dock device.
2. Attach a CardioChek/PTS Connect printer connection cable to the port located
on the backside of the PTS Connect Blu-Dock device using the MEMo Chip®
connector.
3. Attach the other end of the cable to a CardioChek/PTS Connect printer.
4. Send a result to the printer by running a test on an A1CNow analyzer.
