The Bluetooth connection in the wireless sensor and receiver has the following specifications:

Bluetooth

Bluetooth version

Bluetooth 5 low energy, Concurrent Central & Peripheral, 2M LE PHY, 1M LE PHY, Advertising Extensions

Security

brain4care proprietary protocol - Auto refuse third part connections

LE connections

Concurrent central, observer, peripheral, and broadcaster roles allowing concurrent connections between 1 sensor and a receiver and b4c  app

Radio

Frequency

2.360 GHz to 2.500 GHz

Modulations

GFSK at 1 Mbps, 2 Mbps data rates

Transmit power

+4 dBm maximum

Receiver sensitivity

The wireless Quality of Service is continuously monitored by B4C app in order to guarantee the required communication performance. If a minimum quality is not achieved, data loss may occur during transmission and the user is warned in the app. If it occurs, bring the sensor closer to the mobile device and check if the minimum quality has been achieved. Also, verify the existence of other wireless devices in the same room and check if the recommended separation distances described at Table 3-3 are maintained. In the event of lost network connection, user interaction may be required to reconnect. In accordance with AAMI TIR69 Risk Management of Radio-frequency Wireless Coexistence for Medical Devices and Systems, the B4C System was not required to undergo wireless coexistence testing.
