NTRODUCTION
between personal communication devices and interior walls,
the patient cables, and any electronic medical device to which
the patient may be connected. Patients should not use any
type of electronic communication equipment while connected
to any electronic medical device without an on-site evaluation
by the biomedical staff. Two-way radio equipment and other
personal communication devices must be evaluated on site to
determine if additional space limitations are needed.
• Telemetry equipment is authorized to operate license exempt
in the European Union’s (EU) Harmonized 433 to 434 MHz
Short Range Device (SRD) band. Telemetry equipment
operating in this band may not cause interference and must
accept interference from other devices found in the band.
Many countries outside the EU also permit access to this band
for qualifying devices.
• Operation of telemetry equipment in the 608 to 614 MHz
bands (part of the Wireless Medical Telemetry Service
(WMTS)) and in authorized spectrum of each country may be
geographically restricted by government regulation.
Operation of this equipment in all U.S. WMTS bands requires
coordination and registration with the FCC-designated
frequency coordinator.
• Operation of telemetry equipment in the 1395 to 1400 MHz
and 1429 to 1432 MHz bands (part of the Wireless Medical
Telemetry Service (WMTS)) and in authorized spectrum of
each country may be geographically restricted by government
regulation. Operation of this equipment in all U.S. WMTS
bands requires coordination and registration with the
FCC-designated frequency coordinator.
• Operation of this equipment may be subject to liscensing
requirements by your local telecommunications authority.
Check with your Spacelabs Healthcare field service engineer.
• Users of medical telemetry equipment are cautioned that the
operation of the equipment could result in harmful
interference to other nearby medical devices.
Potential Users
The potential users of the 96281 telemetry transmitter are classified
into the groups that follow.
Nurses
Nurses attach the transmitter to the patient, maintain the ECG
electrodes, SpO
2
sensor, and generally care for the patient. They
may also admit the patient to the monitoring system and monitor
the patient.
