Abstract
Method and apparatus for providing EMC Class-B compliant RF transmission for a data monitoring and detection system having a sensor for detecting one or more glucose levels, a transmitter configured to transmit a respective signal corresponding to each of the detected glucose levels using a data transmission protocol including wireless data transmission protocols, to a receiver which is configured to receive the transmitted signals corresponding to the detected glucose levels is provided. When placed in an EMC Class-B compliant mode the monitoring and detection system along with any associated patient treatment units would be allowed to operate in hospital environments and on commercial aircraft during flight.
