The present document specifies technical characteristics and methods of measurements for Ultra Low Power Wireless
Medical Capsule Endoscopy application (CCam transmitters and associated DR receivers) operating in the designated
frequency band 430 MHz to 440 MHz, as meant by ETSI TR 103 451 [i.3].
A possible return (downlink) RF transmission channel from DR to CCam for command and control signalling, if and
when implemented, is outside the scope of the present document.
NOTE: The relationship between the present document and essential requirements of article 3.2 of
Directive 2014/53/EU [i.2] is given in Annex A.

Naprave kratkega dosega (SRD) - Medicinske naprave ultra male moči za brezžično kapsulno endoskopijo, ki delujejo v pasu od 430 MHz do 440 MHz - Harmonizirani standard za dostop do radijskega spektra

Ta dokument določa tehnične karakteristike in merilne metode za medicinske naprave ultra male moči za brezžično kapsulno endoskopijo (oddajniki CCam in z njimi povezani sprejemniki DR), ki delujejo v namenskem frekvenčnem pasu od 430 MHz do 440 MHz, kot je določeno v tehničnem poročilu ETSI TR 103 451 [i.3]. Možni povratni (navzdolnja povezava) prenosni radiofrekvenčni kanal od DR do CCam za upravljanje in nadzor signala, če/ko bo uporabljen, ne spada na področje uporabe tega dokumenta.

Introduction

The present document is aiming to cover radio and telecommunications terminal equipment within the scope of the EU's

Radio Equipment Directive (RED) [i.2].

The present document specifies conformance requirements for the Ultra Low Power Wireless Medical Capsule

Endoscopy SRD application, which includes Capsule Camera (CCam) acting as transmitter and associated Data

Recorder (DR) receiver devices, as meant by ETSI TR 103 451 [i.3]. The CCam is designed to wirelessly transmit

recorded images from inside patient's gastrointestinal tract to the DR receiver, utilizing a single wideband radio channel

occupying the entire designated band 430 MHz to 440 MHz. It is intended that this band will be harmonised for

European-wide usage by Ultra Low Power Wireless Medical Endoscopy application through relevant CEPT and EU

normative documents in the field of SRD spectrum regulation, such as CEPT/ERC/REC 70-03 [i.4].

CCam transmitters will utilize miniature integral antenna encapsulated within its pill-shaped enclosure. The intended

use of the CCam transmitter is inside the human body.

DR receivers will use either integral antenna or dedicated external antenna implemented in the form of skin patch or

belt. Such dedicated external antenna would ensure optimal reception of weak radio signals by keeping antenna in direct

proximity to the patient's body in the area closest to internal passage of CCam.

These devices would offer opportunity of performing medical endoscopy-type examination of the entire human

gastrointestinal tract including the small intestine and colon. Thanks to simple application with minimized risks and side

effects, while providing the unique ability to visualize the complete gastrointestinal tract, its use would be highly

beneficial and attractive to patients and doctors.
The present document is structured as follows:

• Clauses 1 through 3 provide a general description of the types of equipment covered by the present document

and the definitions of terms, symbols and abbreviations used.

• Clause 4 specifies the requirements and limits applicable to CCam transmitter and DR receiver.

• Clauses 5.1 and 5.2 specify the test and general conditions for testing of the equipment.

• Annex A (informative) provides an overview of the relationship between the present document and the

essential requirements of the RED [i.2].

• Annex B (normative) describes a human torso simulator test fixture to be used for radiated measurements.

• Annex C (normative) describes the Full Anechoic Room test site configuration for radiated measurements.
