the United States. 2.1204(a)(9) governs medical implant transmitters, specifying that these devices must
either comply with the Part 95 rules or be only for the personal use of the person in whom the device has
been inserted or on whom the body-worn device is applied.

PART 95--PERSONAL RADIO SERVICES


[...]


Brief Description: Part 95 contains the Commission rules relating to personal radio services. Rules in
subpart H contains rules that apply to the Wireless Medical Telemetry Service (WMTS) operating in the

[...]


Need: Section 95.2309(b) governs the initial registration requirements prior to the first use of a WMTS
device by an authorized health care provider. The need for this rule is ongoing.

Brief Description: Part 95 establishes the requirements and conditions under which stations and devices
incorporating radio transmitters may be designed, manufactured, certified, marketed, operated and used in

[...]

Communications (MedRadio) Service.
Need: Section 95.2509 provides that the operation of Medical Body Area Network (MBAN) devices is
subject to the frequency coordination procedures in this section. Section 95.2525 provides that to reduce
interference and make the most efficient use of the authorized facilities, MedRadio transmitters must
share the spectrum in accordance with other specified provisions within this subpart. Section 95.2533(c)
provides that MedRadio programmer/control transmitters and medical implant transmitters may not be
used to relay information in the 413-419 MHz, 426-432 MHz, 438-444 MHz, and 451-457 MHz bands to
a receiver that is not a part of the same Medical Micropower Network (MMN). Section 95.2533(d)
provides that medical body-worn transmitters may relay only information in the 2360-2400 MHz band to
a MedRadio programmer/control transmitter or another medical body-worn transmitter device that is part
of the same Medical Body Area Network (MBAN). Section 95.2557(d) provides that MedRadio
programmer/control transmitters operating in the 413-419 MHz, 426-432 MHz, 438-444 MHz, and 451-
457 MHz bands shall not transmit with a duty cycle greater than 3 percent.
Section 95.2559 provides that to reduce interference and make the most effective use of the MedRadio
frequency bands, MedRadio transmitter types must be designed to operate in accordance with the rules in
this section. Section 95.2563(e) provides that only MedRadio transmitters that are part of a Medical
Micropower Network (MMN) may operate in the 413-419 MHz, 426-432 MHz, 438-444 MHz, and 451-
457 MHz bands. Section 95.2565 provides that each MedRadio transmitter type must be designed to
maintain a frequency stability of ±100 ppm of the operating frequency over the applicable temperature

[...]


Section 95.2567 provides that each MedRadio transmitter type must be designed such that the MedRadio
equivalent isotropically radiated power (M-EIRP) does not exceed the limits in this section. Section

[...]

69
Section 95.2567(f) provides that for MedRadio transmitters operating in the 2390-2400 MHz band, the
M-EIRP over the bands of operation must not exceed the lesser of 13 dBm (20 mW) or 16 + 10 log (B)

[...]


Section 95.2569 provides that compliance with MedRadio equivalent isotropic radiated power (M-EIRP)
limits can be determined by measuring the radiated field strength from the transmitter type, in accordance
with the rules in this section. Section 95.2573 provides that each MedRadio transmitter type must be
designed such that the MedRadio emission bandwidth (as defined in 95.2503) does not exceed the
applicable limits set forth in this section. Section 95.2579(a)(5) provides that The field strengths of
unwanted emissions from each MedRadio transmitter type, measured at a distance of 3 meters, must not

the frequencies of these emissions are, among other things, more than 2.5 MHz outside of the 2360-2400
MHz band (for devices designed to operate in the 2360-2400 MHz band). Section 95.2579(f) provides
that for MedRadio transmitter types designed to operate in the 2360-2400 MHz band: In the first 2.5

[...]

maximum EIRP within any 1 megahertz bandwidth of the fundamental emission.
Section 95.2587 provides that the antenna associated with any MedRadio transmitter must be supplied
with the transmitter and is considered part of the transmitter subject to equipment authorization and that
MedRadio transmitters shall be tested for frequency stability, radiated emissions and EIRP limit
compliance in accordance with applicable rules. Section 95.2593(c) provides that MedRadio
programmer/control transmitters operating in the 2360-2400 MHz band shall bear the following statement

[...]

on a primary basis in the 2360-2400 MHz band, and must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation." Section 95.2595(c) provides that manufacturers of
MedRadio transmitters must include with each transmitting device a disclosure that states that the
