Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
FreeStyle Libre 2 Reader - FCC ID: QXS-LIB02
FreeStyle Libre 2 Sensor - FCC ID: QXS-LIB02S or FCC ID: QXS-LIB02S2
- The System needs special precautions regarding EMC and needs to be installed and put into service according to the EMC information provided in this manual.
- Portable and mobile RF communications equipment can affect the System.
- Use of accessories, transducers, and cables other than those specified or provided by Abbott Diabetes Care could result in increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased electromagnetic immunity of the System and result in improper operation.
- The System should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment and that if adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the System should be observed to verify normal operation in the configuration in which it will be used.
- The device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) The device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) the device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
- Changes or modifications not approved by Abbott could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Security Measures and Quality of Service:
Security Measures:
-
The communication between the Reader and Sensor during a scan is a short range Near Field Communication (NFC) method which makes it difficult to interfere with or intercept during transmission. The transmitted data is protected by a proprietary data format, encryption, and memory map. The integrity of transmitted data is ensured by a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) generated by the Sensor and verified by the Reader. The communication between the Reader and Sensor for Alarm data is a standard Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) connection. The pairing of the Sensor to the Reader is accomplished during activation with an authenticated login procedure that uses an Out-of-band key exchange (NFC). This prevents unauthorized devices from connecting to the Sensor. The transmitted data is protected by a proprietary data format and encryption. This prevents unauthorized devices from accessing the data if they are within range and intercept the transmission. Under normal operation, the industry standard BLE protocols allow for many users to be in the same vicinity. In the case where the connection is lost due to out-of-range or interference, reconnection is only possible with the authenticated Reader that activated the Sensor.

Quality of Service (QoS):
-
QoS for the FreeStyle Libre 2 Reader and Sensor wireless communications using NFC is assured within the effective range of 1 cm between the Sensor and Reader that is specified to occur within 15 seconds. QoS for the wireless communication using BLE is assured between the Reader and Sensor at regular 1-minute intervals. If connection is lost between the Reader and Sensor for 5-minutes, the connection lost symbol displays. If connection is lost for 20 minutes, the Reader alarms the user if the alarm is turned on. If connection is lost between the Sensor and the Reader, up to 8 hours of glucose results can be retrieved by performing a scan with the Reader. The Reader is designed to only accept radio frequency (RF) communications from recognized and paired Sensors.
