TELEMETRY TRANSMITTER (96281)
I
NTRODUCTION
interference to licensed TV broadcast stations or to other
authorized radio services, such as operations on the
broadcast frequencies under subpart G and H of part 74 of
this chapter, land mobile stations operating under part
90 of this chapter in the 470-512 MHz band, and radio
astronomy operation in the 608-614 MHz band. (See
section 15.5). If harmful interference occurs, the
interference must either be corrected or the device must
immediately cease operation on the occupied frequency.
Further, the operator of the biomedical telemetry device
must accept whatever level of interference is received
from other radio operations. The operator, i.e., the health
care facility, is responsible for resolving any interference
that occurs subsequent to the installation of these
devices.”
- Installation of this telemetry device is permitted in
hospitals and health care facilities only. This device shall
not be operated in mobile vehicles (including ambulances
and other vehicles associated with health care facilities).
- The installer/user of a transmitter operating in the band of
608-614 MHz shall ensure that it is at least 80 km from the
Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory (DRAO) near
Penticton, British Columbia. The coordinates of DRAO are:
latitude N 49° 19’ 15”, longitude W 119°37’ 12”. For medical
telemetry systems not meeting this 80 km separation (e.g.
the Okanagan Valley, British Columbia) the installer/user
must coordinate with, and obtain written the concurrence
of, the Director of DRAO before the equipment can be
installed or operated. The Director of DRAO may be
contacted at 250-497-2300 (telephone) or 250-497-2355
(fax). (Alternatively, the Manager, Regulatory Standards,
Industry Canada, may be contacted.)
- Transmitters operating in the bands 1395-1400 MHz or
1429-1432 MHz shall not be operated in the areas of
Sydney, Nova Scotia, or Gander, Newfoundland and
Labrador. Please contact the local Industry Canada Office
for further information.
- Transmitters operating in the bands 608-614 MHz,
1395-1400 MHz or 1429-1432 MHz comply with Industry
Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may
not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference, including interference that may cause
undesired operation of the device.
• The user of this equipment is not authorized to make any
changes or alterations that could compromise the national
certifications.
• Operation of hand-held, wireless telephone equipment
(cordless telephones, cellular telephones) near telemetry
systems may cause interference and should be discouraged.
While personal communication devices are turned on, a
separation of >6.5 feet (>2 meters) should be maintained
