§ 95.2503 Definitions, MedRadio.
Duly authorized health care professional. A physician or other
individual authorized under State or Federal law to provide health care
services.
Medical Body Area Network (MBAN). An MBAN is a low power network
consisting of a MedRadio programmer/control transmitter and one or more
medical body-worn devices all of which transmit or receive non-voice
data or related device control commands for the purpose of measuring
and recording physiological parameters and other patient information or
performing diagnostic or therapeutic functions via radiated
bi-directional or uni-directional electromagnetic signals
Medical body-worn device. Apparatus that is placed on or in close
proximity to the human body (e.g., within a few centimeters) for the
purpose of performing diagnostic or therapeutic functions.
Medical body-worn transmitter. A MedRadio transmitter intended to be
placed on or in close proximity to the human body (e.g., within a few
centimeters) used to facilitate communications with other medical
communications devices for purposes of delivering medical therapy to a
patient or collecting medical diagnostic information from a patient.
Medical Device Radio Communications (MedRadio) Service. An ultra-low
power radio service for the transmission of non-voice data for the
purpose of facilitating diagnostic and/or therapeutic functions
involving implanted and body-worn medical devices.
Medical implant device. Apparatus that is placed inside the human body
for the purpose of performing diagnostic or therapeutic functions.
Medical implant event. An occurrence or the lack of an occurrence
recognized by a medical implant device, or a duly authorized health
care professional, that requires the transmission of data from a
medical implant transmitter in order to protect the safety or
well-being of the person in whom the medical implant transmitter has
been implanted.
Medical implant transmitter. A MedRadio transmitter in which both the
antenna and transmitter device are designed to operate within a human
body for the purpose if facilitating communications from a medical
implant device.
Medical Micropower Network (MMN). An ultra-low power wideband network
consisting of a MedRadio programmer/control transmitter and medical
implant transmitters, all of which transmit or receive non-voice data
or related device control commands for the purpose of facilitating
functional electric stimulation, a technique using electric currents to
activate and monitor nerves and muscles.
MedRadio channel. Any continuous segment of spectrum that is equal to
the MedRadio emission bandwidth of the device with the largest
bandwidth that is to participate in a MedRadio communications session.
MedRadio communications session. A collection of transmissions, that
may or may not be continuous, between MedRadio system devices.
MedRadio emission bandwidth. The difference in frequency between the
nearest points on either side of the carrier center frequency where the
emission power is at least 20 dB below the maximum level of the
modulated carrier power, measured using instrumentation employing a
peak detector function and a resolution bandwidth approximately equal
to 1% of the emission bandwidth.
MedRadio equivalent isotropically radiated power (M-EIRP). Antenna
input power times gain for free-space or in-tissue measurement
configurations required for MedRadio equipment, expressed in Watts,
where the gain is referenced to an isotropic radiator.
MedRadio programmer/control transmitter. A MedRadio transmitter that
operates or is designed to operate outside of a human body for the
purpose of communicating with a receiver, or for triggering a
transmitter, connected to a medical implant device or to a medical
body-worn device used in the MedRadio Service; and which also typically
includes a frequency monitoring system that initiates a MedRadio
communications session.
