§  95.2563   MedRadio frequency bands.

   MedRadio transmitters operate in the 401-406 MHz, 413-419 MHz, 426-432
   MHz, 438-444 MHz, 451-457 MHz, and 2360-2400 MHz bands. The FCC does
   not specify a channeling scheme for MedRadio systems.

   (a) MedRadio transmitters associated with medical implant devices,
   which incorporate a frequency monitoring system as set forth in
   § 95.2559(a), may transmit on any frequency in the 401-406 MHz band.

   (b) MedRadio transmitters associated with medical implant devices,
   which do not incorporate a frequency monitoring system as set forth in
   § 95.2559(a), may transmit on any frequency in the 401-402 MHz or
   405-406 MHz bands, or on the frequency 403.65 MHz in the 402-405 MHz
   band.

   (c) MedRadio transmitters associated with medical body-worn devices,
   regardless of whether a frequency monitoring system as set forth in
   § 95.2559(a) is employed, may transmit on any frequency in the 401-402
   MHz or 405-406 MHz bands.

   (d) MedRadio transmitters that are used externally to evaluate the
   efficacy of a more permanent medical implant device, regardless of
   whether a frequency monitoring system as set forth in § 95.2559(a) is
   employed, may operate on any frequency in the 402-405 MHz band,
   provided that:

   (1) Such external body-worn operation is limited solely to evaluating
   with a patient the efficacy of a fully implanted permanent medical
   device that is intended to replace the temporary body-worn device;

   (2) RF transmissions from the external device must cease following the
   patient evaluation period, which may not exceed 30 days, except where a
   health care practitioner determines that additional time is necessary
   due to unforeseen circumstances;

   (3) The maximum output power of the temporary body-worn device must not
   exceed 200 nW EIRP; and

   (4) The temporary body-worn device must comply fully with all other
   MedRadio rules applicable to medical implant device operation in the
   402-405 MHz band.

   (e) Only MedRadio transmitters that are part of a Medical Micropower
   Network (MMN) may operate in the 413-419 MHz, 426-432 MHz, 438-444 MHz,
   and 451-457 MHz bands. Each MedRadio transmitter that is part of an MMN
   must be capable of operating in each of the following bands: 413-419
   MHz, 426-432 MHz, 438-444 MHz, and 451-457 MHz. All MedRadio
   transmitters that are part of a single MMN must operate in the same
   band.

   (f) Only MedRadio transmitters that are part of a Medical Body Area
   Network (MBAN) may operate in the 2360-2400 MHz band.
