General Information
- Abstract
The present document applies to Ultra Low Power-Active Medical Implants (ULP-AMI), Membrane Implants, and accessories as described in Directive 90/385/EEC [6], operating in a Medical Implant Communications System (MICS) in the frequency band 30 MHz to 37,5 MHz. An AIMD is regulated under the AIMD Directive 90/385/EEC [6]: radio parts contained therein (referred to herein as ULP-AMI and ULP-AMI-P for peripheral devices) are regulated under the R&TTE Directive 1999/5/EC [1].The present document is intended to cover the provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC [1] (R&TTE Directive) article 3.2, which states that "….. radio equipment shall be so constructed that it effectively uses the spectrum allocated to terrestrial/space radio communications and orbital resources so as to avoid harmful interference". In addition to the present document, other ENs that specify technical requirements in respect of essential requirements under other parts of article 3 of the R&TTE Directive [1] will apply to equipment within the scope of the present document.

Overview
SIST EN 302 510-2 V1.1.1:2007 provides the harmonized European requirements for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and radio spectrum use for ultra low power active medical membrane implants and their accessories. It covers radio equipment operating in the frequency band 30 MHz to 37.5 MHz, as part of Medical Implant Communication Systems (MICS). This standard ensures devices meet the essential requirements of Article 3.2 of the R&TTE Directive (1999/5/EC), focusing on the efficient use of radio spectrum and the prevention of harmful interference.
By aligning with these requirements, manufacturers benefit from presumption of conformity when placing devices on the European market, streamlining the regulatory process and enhancing safety and interoperability of medical implant devices.
Key Topics
Regulatory Context:
- Compliance with R&TTE Directive 1999/5/EC, specifically Article 3.2 regarding spectrum use and interference avoidance.
- Consistency with Directive 90/385/EEC for active implantable medical devices.
Technical Requirements:
- Mechanical and Electrical Design: Equipment must be designed to minimize electromagnetic disturbance and to resist interference.
- Antenna Specifications: Devices may utilize integral or dedicated antennas, with safeguards on connector types to avoid incorrect usage.
- User Controls: Controls that could increase interference must not be easily accessible.
- Transmitter Shut-off: Provision for disabling automatic shut-off features during compliance testing.
Radio Performance Criteria:
- Maximum Effective Radiated Power: Ensures radiated output is within specified boundaries.
- Out of Band Emissions: Limits emissions outside the allocated frequency band.
- Spurious Emissions: Controls unwanted emissions that may cause interference.
- Duty Cycle Restrictions: Sets maximum transmission periods within specified intervals.
- Receiver Performance: Addresses susceptibility to blocking and spurious reception.
Testing and Conformance:
- Defines test methods for verifying conformance with all essential requirements.
- Outlines environmental conditions, test sample selection, and measurement uncertainties.
Applications
SIST EN 302 510-2 V1.1.1:2007 is applicable to:
- Ultra Low Power Active Medical Membrane Implants (ULP-AMI): Including devices regulated under the AIMD Directive, such as active implants for surgical or therapeutic purposes.
- Medical Implant Communication Systems (MICS): Ensuring safe, reliable wireless communication with implanted medical devices.
- Accessories for Implants: Peripheral devices supporting communication, diagnostics, and monitoring of implant operation.
These devices are essential in health care environments requiring stringent controls on electromagnetic compatibility and radio spectrum usage to protect both patient safety and reliable device performance.

The present document has been produced by ETSI in response to a mandate from the European Commission issued
under Council Directive 98/34/EC [4] (as amended) laying down a procedure for the provision of information in the
field of technical standards and regulations.
The present document is intended to become a Harmonized Standard, the reference of which will be published in the
Official Journal of the European Communities referencing the Council Directive on the approximation of the laws of
the Member States relating to electromagnetic compatibility ("the EMC Directive") (2004/108/EC [5] as amended) and
Directive 1999/5/EC [1] of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 1999 on radio equipment and
telecommunications terminal equipment and the mutual recognition of their conformity ("the R&TTE Directive").
The present document is part 2 of a multi-part deliverable covering inductively coupled Ultra Low Power Active

1 Scope
The present document applies to Ultra Low Power-Active Medical Implants (ULP-AMI), Membrane Implants, and
accessories as described in Directive 90/385/EEC [6], operating in a Medical Implant Communications System (MICS)
in the frequency band 30 MHz to 37,5 MHz. An AIMD is regulated under the AIMD Directive 90/385/EEC [6]: radio
parts contained therein (referred to herein as ULP-AMI and ULP-AMI-P for peripheral devices) are regulated under the
R&TTE Directive 1999/5/EC [1].The present document is intended to cover the provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC [1]
(R&TTE Directive) article 3.2, which states that "…. radio equipment shall be so constructed that it effectively uses the
spectrum allocated to terrestrial/space radio communications and orbital resources so as to avoid harmful interference".
In addition to the present document, other ENs that specify technical requirements in respect of essential requirements
under other parts of article 3 of the R&TTE Directive [1] will apply to equipment within the scope of the present
document.
