A system for transferring data includes an analyte test instrument (ATI)
adapted to store data, a wirelessly enabled data management device (DMD)
for comprehensively analyzing data, and an adaptor removably connected to
the ATI for transferring data stored on the ATI to the DMD. The adaptor
includes a data communication device capable of removable connection with
the ATI, a microprocessor electrically connected to the data
communication device, a wireless controller electrically connected to the
microprocessor and a wireless transceiver electrically connected to the
wireless controller. In use, data transfer is executed between the ATI
and the DMD by electrically and mechanically connecting the adaptor to
the ATI. Data stored on the ATI is then automatically downloaded into
adaptor memory. Upon completion of the download, the user activates an
externally accessible input device on the adaptor which, in turn,
wirelessly transmits data from the adaptor memory to the DMD.
