General Notes
e Omnipod 5 System has been tested and found to have acceptable immunity
to emissions from RFID and EAS systems.
e Omnipod 5 System is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment
specied below. e customer or the user of the System should ensure that it is
used in such an environment.
Medical electrical equipment requires special precautions regarding
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and needs to be installed and put into
service according to the EMC information provided in this document and
the instructions for use. If the Omnipod 5 System fails due to electromagnetic
disturbances, you may need to replace it.
Portable and mobile radio frequency (RF) communications equipment can aect
the function of medical electrical equipment.
Caution: Use ONLY the USB charging cable that you received in the box
with your Controller. AVOID using alternative charging cables or other
accessories, as they may damage the Controller or aect the way it charges in
the future. If you must use a dierent cable, use only cables less than or equal
to 4 feet (1.2 meters) in length.
Care should be taken if the Omnipod 5 System is used adjacent to other electrical
equipment; if adjacent use is inevitable, such as in work environments, the
Omnipod 5 System should be observed to verify normal operation in this setting.
e Omnipod 5 System communicates by low-level RF energy. As with all RF
receivers, the potential for disturbance exists, even with equipment that complies
with FCC and CISPR emissions requirements.
e Omnipod 5 System communicates with the following characteristics:
Frequency: 2.400-2.480 GHz, digitally modulated, with an eective Isotropic
radiated power of 1.14mW
e Omnipod 5 System complies with the immunity requirements of the general
standard for electromagnetic compatibility, IEC 60601-1-2.
Caution: DO NOT use portable radio frequency (RF) communications
equipment (including peripherals such as antenna cables and external
antennas) closer than 12 inches (30 cm) to any part of the Omnipod 5 System,
as it may impact the communication between your smartphone or Controller
and your Pod.
