  • rules establishing the MICS in 1999. The MICS was created in the 402-405 MHz frequency band as ``an ultra-low power, unlicensed, mobile radio service for transmitting data in support of the diagnostic and/or therapeutic functions associated with implanted medical devices.'' It was intended to accommodate ``potential life-saving medical technology'' while protecting other users of this spectrum from interference. Accordingly, Section 95.1209(a) of the Commission's Rules provides that, ``[e]xcept for the purposes of testing and for demonstrations to health care professionals, medical implant programmer/control transmitters may transmit only operational, diagnostic and therapeutic information associated with a medical implant device that has been implanted by a duly authorized health care professional.''

We thus amend Section 95.628, subsections (b)(2) through (b)(4) to add these limits, as set forth in Appendix A, to conform to the literal intent of the MedRadio Order. Also, Medtronic states that Section 95.1209(d) (``Permissible Communications'') as adopted appears to contain unnecessary language that could be interpreted as allowing non-LBT devices to operate without the communication of data. Medtronic argues that such non-data transmissions are inappropriate for non-LBT devices which do not employ frequency monitoring pursuant to Section 95.628(b). Biotronik also supports this request for the same reasons. In the same subsection, Medtronic points

As an initial matter, no commenter objected to allowing an MBAN to communicate both diagnostic and therapeutic information. We will apply Section 95.1209(a) of our Rules, as written, to MBAN operations. While this rule provides considerable flexibility to provide data and visual information, it does not allow voice data, as requested by AT&T. We believe that
