§ 95.1209 Permissible communications.
(a) Except for the purposes of testing and for demonstrations to health care
professionals, MedRadio programmer/control transmitters may transmit only
non-voice data containing operational, diagnostic and therapeutic
information associated with a medical implant device or medical body-worn
device that has been implanted or placed on the person by or under the
direction of a duly authorized health care professional.
(b) Except as provided in § 95.627(b) no MedRadio implant or body-worn
transmitter shall transmit except in response to a transmission from a
MedRadio programmer/control transmitter or in response to a non-radio
frequency actuation signal generated by a device external to the body with
respect to which the MedRadio implant or body-worn transmitter is used.
(c) MedRadio programmer/control transmitters may be interconnected with
other telecommunications systems including the public switched telephone
network.
(d) For the purpose of facilitating MedRadio system operation during a
MedRadio communications session, as defined in § 95.627, MedRadio
transmitters in the 401-406 MHz band may transmit in accordance with the
provisions of § 95.627(a) for no more than 5 seconds without the
communications of data; MedRadio transmitters may transmit in accordance
with the provisions of § 95.627(b)(2) and (b)(3) for no more than 3.6 seconds
in total within a one hour time period; and MedRadio transmitters may
transmit in accordance with the provisions of § 95.627(b)(4) for no more than
360 milliseconds in total within a one hour time period.
(e) MedRadio programmer/control transmitters may not be used to relay
information in the 401-406 MHz band to a receiver that is not included with
a medical implant or medical body-worn device. Wireless retransmission of
information intended to be transmitted by a MedRadio programmer/control
transmitter or information received from a medical implant or medical
body-worn transmitter shall be performed using other radio services that
operate in spectrum outside of the 401-406 MHz band.
(f) 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
part of the same Medical Micropower Network. Wireless retransmission of
information to a receiver that is not part of the same Medical Micropower
Network must be performed using other radio services that operate in
spectrum outside of the 413-419 MHz, 426-432 MHz, 438-444 MHz, and 451-457
MHz bands. Not withstanding the above restrictions, a MedRadio
programmer/control transmitter of an MMN may communicate with the MedRadio
programmer/control transmitter of another MMN to coordinate transmissions so
as to avoid interference between the two MMNs.
(g) 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). A MedRadio programmer/control transmitter may not be
used to relay information in the 2360-2400 MHz band to other MedRadio
programmer/controller transmitters. Wireless retransmission of all other
information from an MBAN transmitter to a receiver that is not part of the
same MBAN shall be performed using other radio services that operate in
spectrum outside of the 2360-2400 MHz band. Notwithstanding the above
restriction, a MedRadio programmer/control transmitter in the 2360-2400 MHz
band may communicate with another MedRadio programmer/control transmitter in
the 2360-2400 MHz band to coordinate transmissions so as to avoid
interference between the two Medical Body Area Networks.
(h) 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.
