The meter will only be able to transmit results via Bluetooth if they have been obtained with the Bluetooth
setting activated. If results are obtained when Bluetooth is deactivated, they cannot be subsequently sent
via Bluetooth.
The microINR Expert meter with Bluetooth connectivity active can be paired with a compatible device in two
different configurable modes:
• Free mode: to pair the meter just follow the instructions on the compatible software or smartphone/
tablet app.
• Password mode: the microINR Expert meter shows a 6-digit password. Type the password on the
compatible device and follow the software or app instructions.
The microINR Expert meter with Bluetooth-enabled connectivity will communicate results after every test.
The information sent by the meter via Bluetooth includes:
• Correlation number: as unique ID for each test.
• INR value or error message
• Time and date
• Meter ID
• Sample type: blood (for patient results) or plasma (for EasyControl or EQA results)
• PID: max. 16 characters. The meter will not send this information if the PID length exceeds 16
characters.
The meter will attempt to connect to the DMS or app immediately after the test has been confirmed or
rejected.
If the paired device is not available, the meter will store the result, and this will remain pending to be sent.
The meter will try to send the pending results after performing a new test or when the Sync. button in the
dropdown menu is pressed.
In line with the ISO11073 industry communication standard, the DMS or app must acknowledge the meter's
request for connection and actively seek the result.
The microINR Expert meter can also transfer all the test results stored by tapping the Send Data option in
the Bluetooth Settings menu.
8.5 ETHERNET
The microINR Expert can communicate through a wired Ethernet connection to a Local Area Network (LAN)
when connected to the ethernet adaptor (available separately).
Ethernet is the technology for connecting devices in a wired local area network (LAN) or wide area network
(WAN), enabling them to communicate with each other via a defined communication protocol.
The ethernet adaptor consists of a hardware unit with a RJ45 connector and an integrated USB-C cable to
connect to the microINR Expert meter.
The meter will attempt to connect to the DMS immediately after the test has been confirmed or rejected.
If the DMS is not available, the meter will store the result, and this will remain pending to be sent. The meter
will try to send the pending results after performing a new test or when the Sync. button in the dropdown
menu is pressed.
In line with the POCT1-2A industry communication standard, the DMS must acknowledge the meter's request
for connection and actively request the result. Only upon receipt of this DMS query will the meter send the
result. The following information may be sent by the meter via POCT1-2A for each result:
• Correlation number: as unique Id for each test.
• Time and date at which the result was obtained.
• Meter ID.
• Test type: patient, microINR EasyControl or EQA.
