§ 95.1111   Frequency coordination.

   (a) Prior to operation, authorized health care providers who desire to use
   wireless  medical  telemetry  devices must register all devices with a
   designated frequency coordinator. Except as specified in § 95.1105, operation
   of WMTS equipment prior to registration is not authorized under this part.
   The registration must include the following information:

   (1) Specific frequencies or frequency range(s) used;

   (2) Modulation scheme used (including occupied bandwidth);

   (3) Effective radiated power;

   (4) Number of transmitters in use at the health care facility as of the date
   of registration including manufacturer name(s) and model numbers);

   (5) Legal name of the authorized health care provider;

   (6) Location of transmitter (coordinates, street address, building);

   (7) Point of contact for the authorized health care provider (name, title,
   office, phone number, fax number, e-mail address).

   (b)  An  authorized  health  care  provider shall notify the frequency
   coordinator whenever a medical telemetry device is permanently taken out of
   service, unless the device is replaced with another transmitter utilizing
   the  same technical characteristics as those reported on the effective
   registration.  An  authorized  health care provider shall maintain the
   information contained in each registration current in all material respects,
   and shall notify the frequency coordinator when any change is made in the
   location or operating parameters previously reported which is material.

   (c) As of April 14, 2010, no registrations may be accepted for frequencies
   where WMTS does not have primary status. Previously registered secondary
   facilities may continue to operate as registered.
