Ultra Low Power Medical Data Service (MEDS) Systems operating in the frequency range 401 MHz to 402 MHz and 405 MHz to 406 MHz - Harmonised Standard covering the essential requirements of article 3.2 of the Directive 2014/53/EU

The present document applies to ultra low power systems and accessories operating in spectrum within the bands
401 MHz to 402 MHz and 405 MHz to 406 MHz that operate in a MEDS service for telecommand and telemetry
between devices that are part of a MEDS (see definition of MEDS);
Only two types of MEDS system devices are permitted under the present document:
1) Frequency agile devices designed to access a minimum of 18 channels evenly distributed across the 401 MHz
to 402 MHz and 405 MHz to 406 MHz bands with a minimum of 9 channels for each 1 MHz segment (i.e.
401 MHz to 402 MHz and 405 MHz to 406 MHz).
2) Devices capable of operation only on a single channel using low duty cycle and low power for spectrum access
in the 401 MHz to 402 MHz or 405 MHz to 406 MHz bands, see clause 4.2.3.1.2 and the following clauses.
The frequency usage conditions for the bands 401 MHz to 402 MHz and 405 MHz to 406 MHz are European wide
harmonised for "active medical implant devices" according to Commission Implementing Decision 2013/752/EU [i.12]
and ERC Decision (01)17 [i.1] with the following usage restrictions:
• "This set of usage conditions is only available for systems specifically designed for the purpose of providing
non-voice digital communications between active implantable medical devices and/or body-worn devices and
other devices external to the human body used for transferring non-time critical individual patient-related
physiological information."
The present document covers devices utilizing ultra low power radio devices in combination with medical devices, the
medical portion of which is regulated by the Medical Device Directive [i.8] (MDD) or the Active Implantable Medical
Device Directive (AIMD [i.9]). The radio part of medical devices regulated by the MDD is hereafter referred to as
ULP-AMD, ULP-AMD-P for peripheral devices, and ULP-BWD for body worn devices. ULP-BWD are devices, such
as a physiological parameter sensor or handheld devices that are intended to operate in very close proximity to the
human body, including touching the body, whose radio antenna is external to the body and is used to communicate with
a device that is part of a MEDS system. The radio part of medical devices regulated under the AIMD is hereafter
referred to as Ultra Low Power-Active Medical Implants (ULP-AMI) and peripherals (ULP-AMI-P) used in a Medical
Data Service (MEDS).
Devices covered by the present document are an evolving new technology to be made available worldwide by the
medical equipment industry that will provide high speed communications capability between devices associated with an
individual patient that are part of a complete MEDS system as defined in clause 3.1. Examples of MEDS devices falling
under the scope of the present document are portable body worn physiological sensors that allow ambulatory
monitoring, implanted devices and external system devices used to transfer data collected by a MEDS system to
medical practitioners that will use the data to diagnose and treat a patient.
The present document contains requirements to demonstrate that Ultra Low Power Medical Data Service (MEDS)
Systems operating in the frequency range 401 MHz to 402 MHz and 405 MHz to 406 MHz "… shall be so constructed
that they both effectively use and support the efficient use of radio spectrum in order to avoid harmful interference"
(article 3.2 of the Directive 2014/53/EU [i.2]). It does not necessarily include all the characteristics, which may be
required by a user, nor does it necessarily represent the optimum performance achievable.

Službeni sistemi ultra majhnih moči za medicinske podatke (MEDS), ki delujejo v frekvenčnih območjih od 401 MHz do 402 MHz in od 405 MHz do 406 MHz - Harmonizirani standard, ki zajema bistvene zahteve člena 3.2 direktive 2014/53/EU

Ta dokument se uporablja za službene sisteme ultra majhnih moči in dodatno opremo, ki delujejo v pasovih spektra od 401 MHz do 402 MHz in od 405 MHz do 406 MHz v službenih sistemih ultra majhnih moči za medicinske podatke (MEDS), za daljinsko vodenje in telemetrijo med napravami, ki so del službenih sistemov ultra majhnih moči za medicinske podatke (glej razlago službenega sistema ultra majhnih moči za medicinske podatke).
Ta dokument dovoljuje le dve vrsti naprav s službenim sistemom ultra majhnih moči za medicinske podatke:
1) Naprave s frekvenčno agilnostjo, zasnovane za dostop do najmanj 18 kanalov, ki so enakomerno porazdeljeni po pasovih od 401 MHz do 402 MHz in od 405 MHz do 406 MHz, z najmanj 9 kanali za vsak segment po 1 MHz (tj. od 401 MHz do 402 MHz in od 405 MHz do 406 MHz).
2) Naprave, ki lahko delujejo le na enem kanalu in za dostop do pasov spektra od 401 MHz do 402 MHz ali od 405 MHz do 406 MHz uporabljajo nizek obratovalni cikel in nizko porabo – glej točko 4.2.3.1.2 in naslednje točke.
Pogoji uporabe frekvenc za pasove od 401 MHz do 402 MHz in od 405 MHz do 406 MHz so v skladu z izvedbenim sklepom Komisije 2013/752/EU [i.12] in odločbo ERC (01)17 [i.1] v celotni Evropski uniji usklajeni za »aktivne medicinske pripomočke za vsaditev« z naslednjimi omejitvami uporabe:
• »Ta niz pogojev uporabe je na voljo le za sisteme, ki so posebej zasnovani za zagotavljanje negovorne digitalne komunikacije med aktivnimi medicinskimi napravami za vsaditev in/ali napravami, ki jih nosi oseba na telesu, ter drugimi napravami izven človeškega telesa, ki se uporabljajo za prenos časovno nekritičnih fizioloških podatkov o bolniku.«
Ta dokument zajema naprave, ki uporabljajo radijske naprave ultra majhnih moči v kombinaciji z medicinskimi pripomočki, pri čemer medicinski del ureja direktiva o medicinskih pripomočkih [i.8] oz. direktiva o aktivnih medicinskih pripomočkih za vsaditev [i.9]. Radijski del medicinskih pripomočkov, ki ga ureja direktiva o medicinskih pripomočkih, je v nadaljevanju imenovan »aktivni medicinski pripomočki ultra majhnih moči«, »pripadajoče periferne naprave« in »naprave ultra majhnih moči, ki jih nosi oseba na telesu«. Naprave ultra majhnih moči, ki jih nosi oseba na telesu, so naprave, kot je senzor fizioloških parametrov, ali ročne naprave, ki so namenjene za uporabo v neposredni bližini človeškega telesa, vključno z dotikanjem telesa, katerih radijska antena je zunaj telesa in se uporablja za komunikacijo z napravo, ki je del službenega sistema ultra majhnih moči za medicinske podatke. Radijski del medicinskih pripomočkov, ki ga ureja direktiva o aktivnih medicinskih pripomočkih za vsaditev, je v nadaljevanju imenovan »aktivni medicinski vsadki ultra majhnih moči« in »pripadajoče periferne naprave«, ki se uporabljajo v službenem sistemu ultra majhnih moči za medicinske podatke.
Naprave, obravnavane v tem dokumentu, so razvijajoča se nova tehnologija, uporabo katere bodo proizvajalci medicinske opreme omogočili po vsem svetu in ki bo zagotavljala hitro komunikacijo med napravami, ki so povezane z določenim bolnikom in so del celostnega službenega sistema ultra majhnih moči za medicinske podatke, kot je opredeljeno v točki 3.1. Primeri naprav za službene sisteme ultra majhnih moči za medicinske podatke, ki so zajeti v tem dokumentu, so prenosni fiziološki senzorji, ki jih nosi oseba na telesu in omogočajo spremljanje zdravstvenega stanja, vsajene naprave in zunanje sistemske naprave, ki se uporabljajo za prenos podatkov, zbranih prek službenega sistema ultra majhnih moči za medicinske podatke, do zdravnikov, ki bodo podatke uporabili za postavitev diagnoze in zdravljenje bolnika.
