RF interference from other devices
Common consumer electronic devices that transmit in the same frequency band used
by the transmitter may prevent the receiving device (MiniMed 530G insulin pump)
from receiving the glucose information sent by the transmitter. Most cellular (mobile)
phones and 900 MHz cordless phones, when transmitting or receiving, may cause
significant interruption of transmitter-receiver communication. It is likely that other
devices operating in similar frequency ranges will have a similar effect. This
interference, however, will not cause any incorrect data to be sent and will not cause
any harm to your transmitter.
MiniMed 530G insulin pumps include a programmable "Weak Signal" alert that
notifies you when one or more transmitter transmissions were not received as
expected by the receiving device. (The receiving device will also issue a "Lost
Sensor" alert if communication is interrupted for approximately 40 minutes.)
Communication problems can typically be resolved by ensuring that the distance
between transmitter and receiving device is less than six feet (1.8 meters), and by
turning off or moving away from other RF transmitting devices. You can also reorient
or relocate the transmitter and/or the receiving device to try to correct the
interference. Testing conducted with several different cellular phones suggests that
interference will not be a problem if the phone is at least 12 inches (31 cm) from the
transmitter or receiving device while it is being used (greater separation distance may
be required for certain devices).
