§  95.1111   Frequency coordination.

   (a) Prior to operation, authorized health care providers who desire to
   use wireless medical telemetry devices must register all devices with a
   designated frequency coordinator. Except as specified in §  95.1105,
   operation of WMTS equipment prior to registration is not authorized
   under this part. The registration must include the following
   information:

   (1) Specific frequencies or frequency range(s) used;

   (2) Modulation scheme used (including occupied bandwidth);

   (3) Effective radiated power;

   (4) Number of transmitters in use at the health care facility as of the
   date of registration including manufacturer name(s) and model numbers);

   (5) Legal name of the authorized health care provider;

   (6) Location of transmitter (coordinates, street address, building);

   (7) Point of contact for the authorized health care provider (name,
   title, office, phone number, fax number, e-mail address).

   (b) An authorized health care provider shall notify the frequency
   coordinator whenever a medical telemetry device is permanently taken
   out of service, unless the device is replaced with another transmitter
   utilizing the same technical characteristics as those reported on the
   effective registration. An authorized health care provider shall
   maintain the information contained in each registration current in all
   material respects, and shall notify the frequency coordinator when any
   change is made in the location or operating parameters previously
   reported which is material.

   (c) As of April 14, 2010, no registrations may be accepted for
   frequencies where WMTS does not have primary status. Previously
   registered secondary facilities may continue to operate as registered.
