Appendix
If the equipment does cause harmful interference to radio and television
reception, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the
following measures:
• Move or relocate the Omnipod 5 System.
• Increase the separation between the Omnipod 5 System and the other device
that is emitting or receiving interference.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Quality of Service
e Omnipod 5 System includes two wireless transmission pathways. Insulet
denes the quality of service of the Omnipod 5 System for each of the two
pathways:
Omnipod 5 App to Pod wireless communication denition
Successful transfer of commands, data, and alarms between the Controller and
Pod when in communication range (within 1.5 meters (5 feet) during normal
operation). e Omnipod 5 App informs the user when transfer of commands,
data, and alarms is unsuccessful. For Insulin Delivery commands, the system
performance requirements state that communication between the Pod and the
Controller occurs within 8 seconds at a reliability rate of 95%. e Omnipod
5 App will inform the user when there are communication errors between the
Pod and the Controller. When such an error occurs, the Omnipod 5 App will
beep once every 10 seconds and the communication failure will continue to be
indicated within the Omnipod 5 App until the communication error is resolved.
Pod to Sensor wireless communication denition
e percentage of sensor glucose values successfully received by the Pod when
the Sensor and Pod attempt to communicate every 5 minutes. e System
performance requirements state that at least 80% of sensor glucose values will be
successfully received by the Pod when the Sensor is worn within line of sight of the
Pod. e System informs the user of missing sensor glucose values in real time by
the dashes on the home screen or by missed dots on the Sensor Graph.
For additional information on communication errors in the Omnipod 5 System,
see Chapter 21. To maintain quality of service when other devices operating in the
2.4 GHz band are around, the Omnipod 5 System uses the coexistence features
provided by Bluetooth® wireless technology.
