• Spacelabs Medical’s telemetry equipment complies with Part 15
and Part 95 of the FCC Rules and with RSS-210 of Industry
Canada and with requirements of other national spectrum
management authorities. Repeated here are operational
cautions for biomedical telemetry from the FCC Rules
(47CFR15.242(f)):
“Biomedical telemetry devices must not cause harmful
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
intereference 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.”
• Medical telemetry equipment is only for installation and use in
hospitals and health care facilities. It is not permitted for use in
vehicles that operate outside of the medical facility premises.
The user of this equipment is not authorized to make any
changes or alterations that could compromise the national
certifications.
• Operation of telemetry equipment in the 608 - 614 MHz, 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 U.S. WMTS bands requires coordination and
registration with the FCC designated frequency coordinator.
• Both the standard and limb lead modes for the 90341 work
correctly with or without the right leg electrode attached.
However, for optimum performance, the right leg electrode
should always be used.
• The RA lead wire for the 90343 and the 90347 must be
connected to the transmitter at all times. This lead wire also
serves as the transmitter’s antenna.
WARNING:
• Operating television receivers or other CRT displays near
the transmitter (within 2 to 3 feet), or operation of some
pacemaker programmers may suppress the ECG
waveform, preventing QRS detection and rate counting. An
erroneous asystole alarm may result.
