Radio frequency (RF) communication specifications
• Monitor to transmitter frequency: 916.5 MHz; proprietary Medtronic protocol; range up to 6 feet
(1.8 meters)
• Monitor to meter frequency: 916.5 MHz; proprietary Medtronic protocol; range up to 4 feet
(1.2 meters)
Quality of service
Common consumer electronic devices that transmit in the same frequency band used by the transmitter
may prevent the monitor from receiving the glucose information sent by the transmitter. Adherence to the
following guidelines will result in a consistent and reliable quality of service:
• Cell phone 12 inches away from monitor and meter
• Meter and monitor within 4 feet of each other
• Monitor and transmitter 6 feet of each other
Data security
The Medtronic Guardian
®
REAL-Time Continuous Glucose Monitor is designed to only accept radio
frequency (RF) communications from recognized and linked devices (you must program your monitor to
accept information from a specific device).
The Medtronic Guardian
®
REAL-Time Continuous Glucose Monitor and system components (meters and
transmitters) ensure data security via proprietary means and ensures data integrity using error checking
processes, such as cyclic redundancy checks.
