Introduction Scope Medic4All® Telemedicine system is designed for interactive remote medical monitoring. The system installed at the user home includes the MiniGWTM device, which serves as a gateway between the peripheral units (i.e., sensors, medical measuring devices) and the MiniGateTM application. The MiniGateTM is responsible for accepting the measured data, and for sending it to the Medic4All call center medical file. On the local PC, the application provides the user with the ability to view the medical measurements and configure system parameters. Using the Internet, the user or his delegate (e.g., a physician) may view the measurements based on the Medical File viewer. The MiniGWTM device is the mediator between the peripheral units - measuring devices - and the MiniGateTM application. The MiniGWTM device communicates with the MiniGateTM application using a standard USB port, and with a number of Medic4All peripheral units (WristClinicTM, MiniClinicTM, blood pressure monitor, weight scale, and others), via RF communication. About this Manual This manual describes and explains the installation and working environment of the MiniGate application. It provides detailed instructions on how to handle, setup, configure and operate the MiniGate system.

MiniGate operation Activating the MiniGate application Scope The MiniGW device operates as a necessary identification key for the MiniGate system. Important: In order to work with the MiniGate application the MiniGW must be plugged into the computer. Important: Make sure that only one MiniGW is plugged into the computer at any given time, otherwise the system might malfunction The MiniGate system supports multiple measuring devices and communicates with the user’s call center medical file using the Web. These advanced features require setting and configuration. The MiniGate can be manually configured. The user may add, update, or delete measuring device IDs. The user may change the MiniGate local password and define or update medical file settings. Every Medic4all MiniGate is initially set at the factory to work with its dedicated measuring device and is set with a default password. Therefore, at initialization, the user has to configure only user-specific WEB parameters for establishing the link to the patient medical file. In this section all the features and manual functions shall be described. Connecting the MiniGW to the computer In order to start working with the system, the MiniGW must be plugged in and recognized by the operating system. To do so, restart the computer (if it wasn’t
restarted since the installation), close all working applications, plug the MiniGW into an empty USB port, and wait for the system to recognize it. After a few seconds the system recognizes the MiniGW as an HID device. Note: In case the PC does not recognize the MiniGW, try reentering the MiniGW. In case the problem is not solved, start the Windows Add New Hardware wizard or contact your Medic4all representative for further instructions. MiniGate initial activation and setup When first activating MiniGate, the user is required to associate, through he Internet, the MiniGate system to his call center medical file. Important: In case the MiniGate is not configured with a measurement device, on activation the “Minigate setup wizard -hardware information” window will pop up. If this happens please refer to the Configuring measuring devices section. Note: Perform this configuration only if you already have an appropriate web viewer account connected to your personal medical file at the call center. To associate the MiniGate system to your call center medical file: If the MiniGate application is not yet running, open it now by selecting Start => Programs => M4A MiniGate => MiniGate. When the MiniGate is activated and a new MiniGW is plugged into the computer, the MiniGate system recognizes the MiniGW entry as first entry to this MiniGate system and displays the following message: “Your M4A MiniGate is configured correctly. Click OK to associate your MiniGate to your M4A Medical File”. ¾ Click OK in the information message window. The MiniGate system opens the “Web Registration” window (see Figure 2).
