Diabetes Management System User Guide | Appendix C
C.11 Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
Bigfoot Unity has been tested and found to be appropriate for use
at home. In most cases, Bigfoot Unity should not interfere with other
home electronic devices if used as instructed. The Caps, Sensor,
Meter, and your phone give off radio frequency (RF) energy. The
low level of RF energy emitted by the system is not likely to cause
interference in nearby electronic equipment. However, if not used
correctly, these Bigfoot Unity devices may interfere with your TV, radio,
or other electronic devices that receive RF signals.
In addition, except for your Bigfoot Unity-related devices, other
electronic wireless devices that are in use nearby, such as another cell
phone or a wireless network, may prevent or delay the transmission
of data between the different devices that make up the Bigfoot Unity
System. If you find that glucose values are not sent to your White Cap
from the Meter, or if Sensor or Cap data is not being sent to the App,
it may be due to electromagnetic interference. To avoid interference,
you may be able to move to a different location to Use Bigfoot Unity.
Alternatively, you could turn off other nearby electronic devices or
antennas to avoid interference. Similarly, if you find that the White Cap
will not scan the Sensor, try moving to another location.
CAUTION:
Radio frequency identification (RFID) systems
operating in the 13.56 MHz frequency range may prevent the
White Cap from scanning the Sensor. These types of systems are
present in environments you might encounter in your everyday
life. Examples include library book scanners, contactless payment
and ticketing systems, hospital patient trackers, and commercial
inventory control systems. If you are near one of these systems and
find that the White Cap will not scan the Sensor, move to another
location and try again.
