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 or
smartphone running the Omnipod 5 App and Pod when in communication
range (within 5 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 or smartphone running the
Omnipod 5 App 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 or smartphone. 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 CGM wireless communication denition
e percentage of CGM values successfully received by the Pod when the
CGM transmitter and Pod attempt to communicate every 5 minutes. e
System performance requirements state that at least 80% of CGM values will be
successfully received by the Pod when the CGM is worn within line of sight of
the Pod. e System informs the user of missing CGM values in real time by the
dashes on the home screen or by missed dots on the CGM 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.
Electromagnetic Compatibility
e information contained in this section (such as separation distances) is, in
general, specically written with regard to the Omnipod 5 System. e numbers
provided will not guarantee faultless operation but should provide reasonable
assurance of such. is information may not be applicable to other medical
electrical equipment; older equipment may be particularly susceptible to
interference.
