§  95.2533   Prohibited MedRadio uses.

   MedRadio Service transmitters must not be operated for uses other than
   those set forth in § 95.2531.

   (a) Voice communications are prohibited in the MedRadio Service.

   (b) MedRadio programmer/control transmitters may not be used to relay
   information in the 401-406 MHz band to a receiver that is not included
   with a medical implant or medical body-worn device. Wireless
   retransmission of information intended to be transmitted by a MedRadio
   programmer/control transmitter or information received from a medical
   implant or medical body-worn transmitter shall be performed using other
   radio services that operate in spectrum outside of the 401-406 MHz
   band.

   (c) MedRadio programmer/control transmitters and medical implant
   transmitters may not be used to relay information in the 413-419 MHz,
   426-432 MHz, 438-444 MHz, and 451-457 MHz bands to a receiver that is
   not a part of the same Medical Micropower Network (MMN). Wireless
   retransmission of information to a receiver that is not part of the
   same MMN must be performed using other radio services that operate in
   spectrum outside of the 413-419 MHz, 426-432 MHz, 438-444 MHz, and
   451-457 MHz bands. Notwithstanding the above restrictions, a MedRadio
   programmer/control transmitter of an MMN may communicate with a
   MedRadio programmer/control transmitter of another MMN to coordinate
   transmissions, so as to avoid interference between the two MMNs.

   (d) Medical body-worn transmitters may relay only information in the
   2360-2400 MHz band to a MedRadio programmer/control transmitter or
   another medical body-worn transmitter device that is part of the same
   Medical Body Area Network (MBAN). A MedRadio programmer/control
   transmitter must not be used to relay information in the 2360-2400 MHz
   band to other MedRadio programmer/control transmitters. Wireless
   retransmission of all other information from an MBAN transmitter to a
   receiver that is not a part of the same MBAN shall be performed using
   other radio services that operate in spectrum outside of the 2360-2400
   MHz band. Notwithstanding the above restriction, a MedRadio
   programmer/control transmitter in the 2360-2400 MHz band may
   communicate with another MedRadio programmer/control transmitter in the
   2360-2400 MHz band to coordinate transmissions so as to avoid
   interference between the two MBANs.

   (e) Except as provided in § 95.2559(b), no MedRadio implant or body-worn
   transmitter shall transmit except in response to—

   (1) A transmission from a MedRadio programmer/control transmitter; or

   (2) A non-radio frequency actuation signal generated by a device
   external to the body with respect to which device the MedRadio implant
   or body-worn transmitter is used.
